Washington

With so many iconic sights, it's hard to forget you're at the heart of power in the graciously proportioned, classically styled city of Washington DC. Now, in its third edition, the Time Out Guide to Washington takes readers on an informed and detailed excursion around the city, taking in not only the likes of the Capital building, teh Supreme Court and the White House, but also Washington's highly individual neighbourhoods, its restaurants and bars, and it unparalled collection of museums and galleries. They delve into the vagaries of political life in the White House and on Capitol Hill, the patterns of immigration that have made the city what it is today, teh DC music scene and shopping possibilities from high-end deigner boutiques to neighbourhood bookshops.
