    The Mall

    Posted by BeejUK 30 October 2010

    Walk up and down one of the most iconic and politically historic city of all, well wrapped up in your gloves and scarf (the Potomac chill can really bite!) Escape into warmth, by visiting the superb, several and free Smithsonian Museums, undoubtedly one of the greatest collections of culture and history in one place. Must visits include the Holocaust Memorial Museum and the newer Museum of the American Indian, within which the Mitsitam Cafe provides amazingly rich and the most authentic hot food in the area. Winter months means you will escape the heavy crowds which are overwhelming in the summer. Enjoy the twilight photography from Capitol Hill, or the Lincolm Memorial with the demon-eyed Monument foreboding in the centre. If you get chance take in a free performance at the stately JFK Center for PErforming Arts, every day at 6pm on the Millenium Stage. Enjoy the views from its terrace too. Plenty of things to see, and lots to do in a city, that lives needlessly in the shadow of New York for any transatlantic tourist
