Ideas for a good weekend in dc

I will be in DC this Sat - Monday. We are 2 couples, late 20%26#39;s and no children. I wanted to get some ideas of some fun places to visit, please. I%26#39;ve been reading the posts and with so much to see %26amp; do it gets overwhelming to come up with an itinerary for just a weekend. We will try to do on Sat the American Indian Museum, visit Library congress %26amp; a Smithsonian...we are staying at Channel Inn on Waterfront %26amp; 7th. Any ideas/recommendations for a nice/fun/lively restaurant in Georgetown? or where to go at night in Georgetown for a fun nightclub/bar? Or anywhere else that is a must-see on a Sat. night? What about Sunday in DC - dont know where to visit to get in the major sights. Take a tourmobile? night-lights tour? Any direction/advice is soooo welcome. Thanks! kay.

Hi:

For Saturday night, if you really want a lively atmosphere, I recommend Adams Morgan. Take the metro to either Dupont Circle or Woodley Park to get there. It%26#39;s very popular with the 20-30 somethings.

For dinner, it depends on your budget.

For something on the higher end, try Cashion%26#39;s Eat Place.

For something more moderate, try Left Bank or, if you want to be more adventurous, try Meskerem for Ethiopian food or for outdoor seating, try Perry%26#39;s.

For something cheap, try Mixtec, Pasta Mia or the Diner.

For post-dinner fun, try Asylum for something kind of down-scale, Bedrock Billiards if you play pool, Felix if you want a martini, Habana Village if you want to salsa. The list goes on!

For more details on all the fun places to go in Adams Morgan, go to www.washingtonpost.com and click on City Guide - then narrow it down to Adams Morgan. Or, just go and follow the throngs!

On Sunday, if you want to try to hit alot of the major sites, I%26#39;d definitely recommend Tourmobile or Old Town Trolley. You%26#39;ll get alot more out of your visit that way, especially since you%26#39;re not sure which places to go. If something is of interest, you can stay there longer and linger.

PS: If you really want to go to Georgetown rather than Adams Morgan, you can also check the City Guide to find a place there. I%26#39;d probably recommend Pizzeria Paradiso then Birreria Paradiso (if you like beer) or Paolo%26#39;s for dinner then Cafe Milano for drinks. Also, Mie N Yu is popular for food and drinks.

Have fun!

Georgetown, in and of itself is fun, just to walk around Wisconsin and M Streets. There is also the Georgetown Waterfront that has several restaurants. Sequoia%26#39;s is my favorite of them all. I love their Mango Margaritas and sitting outside on the patio. To get a table on a Saturday night you will need to have dinner and make a reservation (like now). It gets pretty packed, especially in the summer with all you young folks ;o)
