We're thinking about taking a trip to D.C. this summer but I'm curious if there's a good reason to visit Arlington, VA besides the cemetery. -- nm

Shoot me a note! Happy to help out with sites/restaurants etc. -- nm - MDH May 21, 09:53 1

The cemetery is something else. I've been there twice. But to your question: tour the Pentagon? The only building I know with six zip codes - crash davis 😺 May 21, 09:25 2
- You can tour it but have to make arrangements beforehand. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 10:41 1
  - Are you still in DC as well?? - Krusty May 21, 11:35
Are you otherwise skipping Arlington? Because the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is worth visiting. -- nm - TWuG May 21, 09:24 7
- No, we were planning a trip there but a quick search didn't bring up much else to do in the area. Food and drink were the common suggestions - Krusty May 21, 09:29 6
  - Iwo Jima Memorial; Air Force memorial; Alexandria/museums; T. Roosevelt Island (future site of SHIELD HQ); Gravely Point to watch the DCA planes - Max May 21, 10:02 5
    - The Watergate is still there and they have restaurants. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 10:42 1
      - Not The Watergate in DC, I meant the garage where Woodward met Deep Throat -- (link) - Max May 21, 11:12
    - Thanks!!! -- nm - Krusty May 21, 10:15
    - The Air and Space museum out that way is a *great* way to spend a day even if that’s not your thing. - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ May 21, 10:06 1
      - Yeah, it’s amazing -- nm - kelly May 21, 10:42
other than Max? Old Town Alexandria is a nice place to grab some lunch but mostly it's just a burb across the river -- nm* - hollywood big shot May 21, 09:19 5
- Thanks! That's what I was getting from a quick search. -- nm - Krusty May 21, 09:30 4
  - and to be clear, Max is not worth a trip across the bridge either -- nm - hollywood big shot May 21, 09:36 3
    - In Soviet Arlington, Max crosses the bridge for you! -- nm - Max May 21, 09:38 2
      - Ha! :-) Once we finalize the dates I'll let you know and hopefully we can meet up for lunch, dinner or just a drink. - Krusty May 21, 09:41 1
        
        don’t let him stiff you for the bill - hollywood big shot May 21, 11:35
