3 Days 2 Nights in DC

Washington D.C. truly feels like a grand, immaculate garden โ€“ stunningly beautiful and filled with genuinely kind people. That said, it's a bit of a food desert, especially for Asian palates. Coming from New York, where you find Thai food every five steps, Chinese every ten, and Korean every fifteen, I realize how spoiled we are! ๐Ÿœ That said, the takeout in my photo was delicious โ€“ the roast chicken was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The Hamilton also had excellent service. As for the taste? Well, with my Asian palate... it was good, just so rich it made me crave some pickled vegetables! How about that? ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ 3-Day Itinerary Highlights Day 1 | The Power Corridor Morning: U.S. Capitol Tour (book 9 AM slot) โ†’ Library of Congress dome Lunch: The Hamilton (try lobster bisque + salad to cut richness) Afternoon: Supreme Court โ†’ National Archives (see the Declaration of Independence) Evening: Tidal Basin loop โ†’ Jefferson Memorial at dusk Day 2 | Museums & Neighborhoods Morning: Air & Space Museum (don't miss Apollo 11 module) Lunch: Penn Quarter food hunt (Baan Siam pad thai recommended) Afternoon: National Portrait Gallery โ†’ American Art Museum open storage Evening: Georgetown colorful row houses โ†’ C&O Canal sunset Day 3 | Nature & Culture Morning: Lincoln Memorial at sunrise โ†’ Reflecting Pool photos Lunch: The Wharf oyster bar Afternoon: Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Center (requires drive) Evening: Free performance at Kennedy Center โ†’ rooftop cocktails ๐Ÿœ Asian Food Survival Guide Restaurant Lifelines โ†’ Reren Lamen Bar: Beef bone ramen with chili oil (Chinatown) โ†’ Bub and Pop's: Italian sandwiches with Sichuan peppercorn twist โ†’ Maydan: North African/Middle Eastern grill (reservation needed) Takeout Heroes โ–ซ๏ธ Poki DC (Poke bowls) โ–ซ๏ธ Roaming Rooster (Fried chicken) โ–ซ๏ธ The roast chicken pictured is likely from Crispy Bird or The Bird When you're eating homemade rice balls on the Supreme Court steps When you sneak spicy strips under the Capitol dome You'll realize you've mastered the essential DC survival skill: Feeding your eyes with politics, and your stomach with Asian flavors #DCGuide #WashingtonTravel #FoodDesertSurvival #TravelTips
