Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Step away from the traditional highlights of the city of innovators, great benefactors, artists, presidents, and hucksters to discover innumerable interesting and unknown sites, artefacts, and other treats in Washington, DC. Visit places hiding in plain sight, that may go unnoticed or simply be unknown to long-time residents and visitors alike.

Play a round of miniature golf among the cherry trees. Buy original artworks out of a vintage cigarette machine. Catch a show at one of the refurbished theatres where Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington used to gig. Commune with the Godfather of Go-Go music in his memorial park. Get away from the tourists and peace out by walking a labyrinth alongside the Potomac River. Try a salad made of indigenous root vegetables at a Native American cafΓ©.

111 Places in Washington, DC That You Must Not Miss by Andrea Seiger is the ultimate insider's guide to Washington, DC, featuring interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides. As part of the international 111 Places series with over 650 titles and 3.8 million copies in print worldwide, this revised and updated edition is fully illustrated with 111 full-page colour photographs.

Author Andrea Seiger is a world and domestic traveller who has lived in Washington, DC for over 30 years and has worked in nearly every business involved in tourism and hospitality. When asked how she knows so much about DC, she responds, "I work in tourism, and it's my business to know my city. And I love showing people who live here just how much there is to learn about our hometown."

She lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at the height of the Disco Era, has travelled thousands of miles on the Mayan Route of Mexico, and loves to road trip around the Mid-Atlantic US and beyond. Her travel bucket list includes visiting all 50 US states, every country in the continent of the Americas, and all of the New 7 Wonders of the World, the Galapagos, Machu Picchu, and Angkor Wat. She is pretty far along on the list. Eager travelling feet get her out and about as often as possible, whether on the streets of DC or somewhere else in the world.
