Restaurants - minibar, Kinship, Dabney, Oyster Oyster would be my top four. Pineapple and Pearl just got two Michelin stars and is supposed to be fascinating. Unconventional Diner, Red Hen and Mayan also come to mind as I type this out.
Neighbourhoods - H Street, Georgetown, Wharf District and Adam’s Morgan are all worth the trip. Pretty easy to get to on the metro and have enough things to do day/night.
Museums - Holocaust Memorial Museum is by far one of the best museum’s I’ve ever been to. It’s incredibly well done. National Museum of African American History is also well done. The Smithsonian’s are usually pretty good but some show their age. The art ones seem to be much better kept. Artechouse and National Building Museum are also pretty neat to check out.
It’s already passed this year but Passport DC is a neat event in May that allows you to goto a bunch of Embassy’s on Embassy Row.
Capitol Hill and Library of Congress are two tours I’d definitely check out as well. Non US citizens can get access to the Senate/Gallery passes easily with a Canadian passport.

Damn it lol. First flight is booked already to IAD but will keep the DCA tip in mind for the next flights.
