Visiting Washington, DC is indeed touching the heart of the beast that moves the world in many respects. There are many of the usual attractions that any great urban center can offer, but add to this some of the most important historical relics in the story of democracy in contemporary times. And then add the rich cultural diversity that has always been at the heart of the capitol. It continues to grow and evolve in fascinating, complex, and sometimes difficult and painful directions. Touching here is touching home.
There are plenty of things, however, to offer those selective tourists who only want the best. Washington hotels can provide luxurious accommodations that fill all sorts of bills, and the only law is to enjoy the moment. A day begins here and then can go in multiple directions. And if you’re feeling peckish, there are lots of choices here, with pretty much anything you could imagine.
The soul food here is particularly good, being close enough to the South for authenticity, and close enough to New York for gourmet touches. Not that gourmet can’t exist with Southern food, and in fact, that’s a point that Chef Art , of Art and Soul, will emphasize, and his most convincing points are in the flavors. This is fantastic and elegant soul food served in a very lavish setting. The meal ticket is surely on the pricey side, but not so very high when compared to other restaurants of its quality. It shines.
On the other side of the priceline, there’s places like Madam’s Organ where staples like pulled pork and fried catfish come served up on the cheap, in a place that has pool and live music. This place has charm and character, and can be good for what ails you, certainly. There are lots of other places, too, like B. Smith’s and Soul Vegetarian Exodus, all worth checking out, while resting your heart and feet in DC.
