Washington DC Resources

We've prepared a small map of good spots to have dinner or drinks (green pins), to take in a movie, or a show, or visit a museum (yellow pins), and the major transit hubs (blue pins). These are just a few good suggestions, presence on the map does not make them an official restaurant or bar or other location.
