You will find them at Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro. President, and the new Watergate display. Long story short, expect to run into someone famous in D.C.ĭon’t miss the Smithsonian’s Portrait Gallery/American Art Museum for their orchid display in the atrium, the portraits of every U.S. The Equality PAC also had a fund raiser at the Number 9 bar when I was there where I ran into my friend, Arizona State Representative Daniel Hernandez who is running for Congress in the 6 th District (Tucson). I had the pleasure of meeting White House Deputy Press Secretary Kareen Jean-Pierre at the Victory Fund Brunch at the Grand Hyatt, a Haitian immigrant who was raised in New York City as well as the Attorney General of Massachusetts, Maura Healy who is running for Governor. You can practically walk everywhere, and yes you will run into famous folks. Plus, it is the arguable one of the gayest cities in America. Summer is the value season where hotel rates are reasonable. Plenty of outdoor spaces keep you COVID safe, and of course the Smithsonian Museums are all free.
