Cocktails in D.C: A First Timer’s Guide

I spent a couple of days in D.C and while I visit this city almost yearly, I have never seen the ‘touristy’ sites. I usually go to D.C. to see my friends and enjoy some of my favorite meals (see here). However, this time around I decided that I wanted to see the sites that people from all over the world come to see when in this city. 

I walked around for two days and saw the following sites that in my opinion are the must see sites when in D.C.: 

1. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial
2. The Lincoln Memorial 
3. The Washington Monument 
4. The World War II Memorial 
5. The National Museum of African American History and Culture*
6. National Gallery of Art
7. The Jefferson Memorial 
8. The Holocaust Memorial Museum

*The museum was closed due to COVID-19 but is a must see once the city fully opens up!

Have you been to D.C.? Which are your must see tourist sites?
