A beautiful tribute to the nation's 16th president, the Lincoln Memorial attracts millions of visitors annually. The temple-like structure features an impressive 19-foot-high seated statue of Lincoln and 36 columns that represent the states of the Union at the time of his death. This is where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech. Rangers present 20- to 30-minute programs throughout the day. Hands on
One of the first Ethiopian restaurants to open in Washington, Meskerem remains among the best. Diners sit at tables or on the floor to share large platters of savory chicken, beef, lamb or vegetables that they scoop up with injera, a traditional Ethiopian bread. The wine list includes Ethiopian honey wine and beer. Ethiopian singers perform Friday and Saturday nights. |
