OK, I'll get hopping.

Coming in March, right?--for how long?

I'm a "foodie" myself so I'll start with two of my fav restaurants:

"2 AMYS" Authentic PIZZA + a lot more--a few blocks from the Washington National Cathedral and "JALEO" - Spanish TAPAS - fun with a group: There are three: Downtown, "Crystal City" Virginia and

Bethesda, Maryland. You can "google" or I can get the addresses for you.

I ALWAYS think of food first, but there are ART GALLERIES, SCULPTURE & BOTANIC GARDENS + TERRIFIC MUSEUMS and a large ZOO--nearly all are no fee involved. Also DAILY, free evening performances in the "Grand Hall" of the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. (If you decide to try this, go early--if you want a seat.) BTW, my daughter and I took a free tour of the Kennedy Center a while ago--which we found very interesting.

MORE LATER . . .

PS: Let me know if you want to "spring" for theater tickets or some pricier restaurants, and, if so, I'll include some suggestions in those areas.
