Four years ago I was injured and have not been able to read because of health issues. I still can not read hard back books. Since finding Diesel ebooks online and learning about ebooks, I can read again. Thank's for bringing part of my life back again.

Frommer's® Irreverent Guide to Washington, D.C.

Looking for a travel guide that goes where other guides fear to tread? One that rides roughshod over ad-copy puffery to smartly deliver the real scoop on a destination's sites and attractions? One that dares to be honest, hip, and fun? Look no more. Frommer's Irreverent Travel Guides are wickedly irreverent, unabashedly honest, and downright hilarious, and provide an insider's perspective on which attractions are overrated tourist traps and which are the secret gems that locals love. You'll get the lowdown on restaurants, lodging, and shopping, and even find out what the locals think of you. "Like being taken around by a savvy local," said the New York Times. "Hipper and savvier than other guides," concurred Diversion magazine. Never shy about confronting the issues, the Irreverents are guides to real travel in the real world. The nation's capital is laid bare in Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Washington, D.C. Find out where the power elite meet for drinks, what the president is up to that day, which tours are overrated (the White House, because of what you don't see) and which are world-class powerful (the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum). Discover the city's great multinational eateries and the best spots for a rollicking Sunday brunch. Learn that D.C. is as much a college town as it is a political town--and has the passion for local sports teams to prove it. Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Washington, D.C. delivers all the insights and invaluable travel tips you'll need to enjoy your trip to the capital, a city that's as comfortable in its small-town gentility as its urban irascibility.

Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Washington, D.C.

Chapter One

DIVERSIONS

Basic Stuff

Washington certainly lives up to its nickname, "Capital of the Free World." Most of what makes Washington special-government buildings, monuments, museums, memorials-is free. All Americans pay for Washington's attractions through their taxes, of course. But, since you have to pay whether you see them or not, come on out and get your money's worth.

Getting Your Bearings

Washington can be a daunting place to get around at first glance. But, if you understand how the city is organized, you'll always have a good idea of where you are and a reasonably good idea of how to get where you want to go. To paraphrase Daniel Boone, you might get befuddled from time to time, but you'll never get lost.

Washington originally was a perfect diamond, carved out of Virginia and Maryland, with its corners pointing due north, sou ... read full excerpt from Frommer's® Irreverent Guide to Washington, D.C. ebook
