I was in an awe when first time stepping my feet in DC, this city is spotless and organized.
We've made a very packed yet efficient 3 days trip, were mostly about monuments and museums hopping with Georgetown and Friendship Heights as a highlight. DC has numerous of fascinating monuments and museums, above them all my favorite are Martin Luther King Memorial, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum. Oh, the best part of museums in DC is, most of them are free! wooohooo..!
Another interesting part of the city is the old town Georgetown. The streets are picturesque full with small trendy cafes and boutiques with a bit of European feels. Try Cafe Leopold for delicious desserts and Bayou for New Orleans inspired cuisine.
For you spenders, do visit the Friendship Heights neighborhood in northwest DC. This hood is full with swankiest upscale boutiques and warehouses! TJ Maxx, Nordstorm Rack, Loehmann's, The Designer Shoe Warehouse and Neiman Marcus to name a few. It is literally a shopping mecca! The selections aren't as good as in NYC but the discounts are way higher. Here I found Coach shoes for USD 38, 7 for All Mankind's white denim for USD 42 and J Brand stripe denim for USD 30.
