Guests check in at the iconic luxury hotel, but not all of them check out ...  Many hotels today have extras like in-room coffee makers, business centers and on-site dining. The historic Omni Shoreham in Woodley Park boasts all of this, plus a few extras, including a couple of ghosts.
At least, that's the story according to legend . . .

There are so many fascinating stories to uncover!  When planning vacation itineraries, graveyard visits may not be top of mind. But they are really open-air museums full of art and history and stories and nature. And sometimes you’ll find really creative nods to various lives among the headstones, too.
Congressional Cemetery in Southeast DC is a historic -- and still active -- 35-acre graveyard spanning more than 300 years. And despite its name, it’s a pretty lively place. The cemetery hosts several 5Ks, concerts, and outdoor movie nights, as well as a book club and yoga classes, and plenty of dogs and their owners frequent the grounds, too. But despite its size and longtime history, Congressional Cemetery is a real hidden gem that many locals and tourists don't even know exists. Best merch to show off your civic pride, support local businesses and remind everyone to VOTE on Nov 3!  It feels like it's been a long time coming, but there's just over two weeks until Election Day, and fewer than that until early voting starts in DC on October 27. It's important to make sure you and all of your friends, family members, and co-workers are registered to vote, know where their voting place is and have a voting plan.
So, instead of obsessing over political polls and inside-the-Beltway punditry while you wait to cast your ballot, we've rounded up some of the best 2020 election-inspired products, from food, apparel, totes and drinks (natch!), to help you deal with your stress, show off your civic pride and support local DMV businesses at the same time. Now that's a balanced ticket! Be one with nature  Sweater weather is approaching, and with it gorgeous fall foliage that lures you into wanting to spend more time outside before we hibernate for the winter. Before coronavirus made social distancing a priority, local hiking trails were already go-to spots for respite from city crowds. Luckily, we have some suggestions where you can have the best of both worlds: great views and solitude. Here are seven options in DC.
Fun and (mostly!) free ideas to get you out and about!  We love DC, but to be honest, our commitment is tested during the heat and humidity of its infamous summers, ugh. So we rejoice when temperatures start to dip and a cup of PSL becomes a standard accessory.
There's always a lot to do in the District and it's even better in the fall! From ghosts and ghouls, reopened museums, pop-up wineries and colorful murals, we've rounded up some of the best things to do right now, whether you're a local or just visiting. Get in the spirit!  From real-life haunted houses (allegedly) to fright night movie fests and watching the dead come alive to tell their ghoulish tales, Halloween events in DC offer something from everyone. We’ve rounded up a mix of frighteningly fun things to do that will get everyone in the Halloween spirit. Boo!
Who you gonna call?  Octagon House Washington D.C. is best known for being the center of politics in the United States but it’s definitely contender for one of the most haunted places in the world. Tales of haunted houses and hotels, even a demon cat, are as plentiful as special interest lobbyists.
But are these ghostly stories true? Well, that's for you to decide. But with Halloween approaching, what better way to celebrate than with a tour of the 10 scariest places in the DMV, whether you believe the legends or not? But beware -- these haunted locations aren't for the faint of heart. Did someone say cider doughnuts? Get ready for this fall tradition with corn mazes, hayrides and more!  You can feel it in the air . . . fall is almost here!
It's absolutely my favorite season! I LOVE the changing leaves, the return of pumpkin spice everything and the falling temperatures. I'm sooo over DC’s heat and humidity. I also have very fond memories of visiting my godfather in Michigan and picking pumpkins and crisp, delicious apples at a neighboring farm. Luckily, you don’t have to go all the way to Michigan to experience this fabulous fall tradition. You can find plenty of pumpkins and apples at the always incredible Eastern Market or one of the many local farmers markets, but there are many legit farms within driving distance where you can pick your own pumpkins and apples for a real-deal farm experience. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly experience with hayrides and other bells and whistles, or a no frills farm visit, you'll find the perfect one to visit from the six we've scouted. Did we forget your favorite? Let us know!  When it comes to art, size doesn't matter.
The Smithsonian art museums and some of the paid art galleries are still closed, making it a perfect opportunity to visit some of the off-the-beaten path art museums and galleries that might be small but are still awesome. So get ready for an artful experience at one of these 16 museums, galleries and unexpected spots that prove good things definitely come in small packages. Berets are optional, but totally encouraged! |
