What is the best part of washington dc and new york?
In DC the monuments are cool - not only are they moving, but some of them are really great art/architecture. It's hard, for example, not to feel moved walking into the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial's little valley. Check out some of the less known ones, like the Navy Memorial or the incredible Japanese American memorial for these Patriotic Americans during World War II. And the FDR Memorial is almost like an open Art Gallery.





The museums are great, too, find one that covers a subject you are interested in, and discover it. I personally like Air and Space but I love the National Museum of the American Indian.





The Kennedy Center in DC is very cool - they have a free concert every evening at 6 PM, and the view out over the water is lovely.





I really like Adams Morgan, DuPont Circle, U Street and the Penn Quarter/Chinatown for nightlife, dining, and hanging out.





Arlington Cemetery is very moving, I am not sure that cool is the right word. but what an honor to maybe lay a wreath!





New York others will have to answer. More info on our web site below on DC (all free)
