EDITOR’S ITINERARY

BROOKE SABIN, WASHINGTON, D.C., EDITOR

C E L E B R AT I N G 8 0 Y E A R S O F T R AV E L

The Essential Washington This month, we’re inspired by a big birthday. The National Park Service, headquartered here, turns 100 on August 25, and we’ve got lots of ideas for exploring the great outdoors, even in this urban landscape.

You may be surprised to learn that the NPS runs no less than 24 sites in the city, from the National Mall, of course, to off-the-tourist-track gems like Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens. See page 6 for some of our favorite retreats, where a peaceful stroll comes with visions of cascading waters, historic statues or even exotic lilies by the thousands. If a visit to the ballpark is more your style, consult our guide to the tasty, and often local, food and drink options at Nationals stadium (page 8). Raise a glass to well-regarded Virginia wines on a day trip to the rolling countryside that’s only an hour from downtown (page 10). Even if you have only limited time, we can show you how to make the most of it at one of the city’s top destinations.

Smithsonian’s National Zoo

Washington’s most beloved residents? They’re a bit chubby, quite furry and definitely nonpartisan.

The giant pandas at the National Zoo (page SG4) regularly inspire breathless news reports, and live web cams share their every move with an adoring public.

At the zoo’s lush 163-acre site bordering Rock Creek Park (and designed in part by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted), admirers see the bears “in the flesh,” along with about 2,000 other animals of nearly 400 species—many endangered.

If you’re tight on time, consider focusing on some of these highlights. Start at the Connecticut

Avenue entrance (above, left), and don’t bother fishing out a wallet, because like every Smithsonian site, entry is free. But do swing by the visitor center for a map and a schedule of the day’s events, which might include an elephant training demo, a panda keeper talk or the nation’s only “meet a kiwi” program. The last gives up-close looks at these unique, flightless birds and facts about protecting the species.

Then set off down the main drag, Olmsted Walk. (And we do mean “down”; the zoo is set on a hill, so come prepared with sturdy, comfortable shoes.) The first stop?

The Cheetah Conservation

Station, where—if lucky—you may catch the world’s fastest land mammal being exercised (some mornings, between 9:30 and 10:30). Take the Asia Trail to the home of those must-see pandas: papa Tian Tian (above), mama Mei Xiang and their cubs Bao Bao, who turns 3 on August 23, and Bei Bei, 1 on August 22.

Next door, find two American bison, the species that helped inspire the zoo’s founding in 1889, when two of these massive creatures roamed the National Mall.

Farther along Olmsted Walk, the LEED Gold Elephant Trails exhibit offers six pachyderms an exercise track and a “community center” for sand tossing (above), pool wading and self-service showering. It’s the visitors who splash

around in the kid-friendly tide pool on the American Trail, which displays bald eagles, gray wolves and sea lions.

Back on Olmsted Walk, look up to see if an acrobatic orangutan is traveling the overhead O Line cable (above), then marvel at Sumatran tigers and African lions in the Great Cats exhibit.

Youngsters may fancy a spin on the solar-powered Conservation Carousel, with 56 custom-carved animals, followed by a visit to Kids’ Farm, where the 3-to-8 set can touch cows and donkeys. Then try to squeeze in a stop by Amazonia, repping the world’s most diverse ecosystem with a tropical forest and a 27,000-gallon aquarium holding fish from air-breathing arapaimas to toothy piranhas.

DATES

Cirque du Soleil’s “Kurios—Cabinet of Curiosities”

THROUGH SEPT. 4:

“We are travelers in imaginary worlds,” says writer-director Michel Laprise of this acclaimed troupe of artistic acrobats. In its newest touring show, that world seems at once familiar (late 19th century) and fantastical. As The Seeker explores his larger-than-life curio cabinet, the contents come to life in amazing ways involving aerial bicycles, an extreme trampoline and a rola bola (above). The feats take place under the big top at McLean, Virginia’s Tysons II. For details, see cirquedusoleil.com/ kurios. And for a peek behind the scenes, check out the “Kurios About” series on youtube.com.

Green Scene

On August 25, the National Park Service marks 100 years of protecting some of the country’s most treasured landscapes. Headquartered here, the NPS runs two dozen sites in D.C., drawing nearly 42 million visitors annually. The National Mall, of course, is the biggie, but several lesser-known green spaces offer serene escapes from busy urban life.

The namesake waterway in Rock Creek Park

Rock Creek Park It runs through the heart of the capital, but partisan politics feels far away from this wooded oasis where deer, foxes and even coyotes roam. Created by an act of Congress in 1890, the oldest natural urban park in the NPS system comprises 2,000 acres along a trickling stream from the Maryland border to the Potomac River. The park’s size and 32 miles of trails may seem daunting, but a helpful nature center offers rangerled tours, lectures and films—plus the only planetarium in a national park. Other amenities include a golf course, a tennis center, the historic Peirce Mill, the Carter Barron Amphitheatre (with summer concerts) and stables, where even newbie equestrians settle into the saddle for a one-hour trail ride. nps.gov/rocr THEODORE ROOSEVELT ISLAND In the Potomac River, an 88acre forested isle serves as a living memorial to the 26th president. HIkers follow trails through the woods, across marshland and up to a plaza featuring a 17-foot statue of the ardent outdoorsman. The site offers fine views too: the Watergate, the Kennedy Center and Key Bridge arching to Georgetown. nps.gov/this CHESAPEAKE & OHIO CANAL For nearly 100 years, barges of coal and lumber plied this

waterway stretching 184 miles from Georgetown to Cumberland, Maryland. Made obsolete by the railroad, the canal now draws walkers and bicyclists onto its tow path. At Great Falls, history buffs climb aboard a replica passenger boat pulled by mules and tour an original lockhouse. nps.gov/choh MERIDIAN HILL PARK About a mile north of the White House, this elegant 12acre retreat known for its cascading fountain, the longest in the country, also holds the city’s only female equestrian

statue (Joan of Arc). Visitors enjoy quiet nooks for reading and a diverse set of activities like yoga and the ever-popular African drum circles. nps.gov/ places/meridian-hill-park.htm

WHERE NOW Washington Since 2008, the Nats have played inside the first major U.S. stadium to receive LEED accreditation. No surprise the concessions here are LEED certified too. This means “sustainability” brought to an array that goes way beyond peanuts and Cracker Jack.

(THIS PAGE, FROM TOP) ©RODNEY BAILEY PHOTOGRAPHY; COURTESY HAUTE DOGS & FRIES; COURTESY WASHINGTON NATIONALS. (FACING PAGE) ©BROOKE SABIN

GROUND RULES Google “Washington Nationals concessions,” and up pops the link to a roster of vendors listed by section and numbering (we counted, so you don’t have to) 41 brands on the main concourse, 31 on club level and 21 on gallery level.

Eating happens at stadium seats, picnic tables on the concourses and sit-down tables in the premium “clubs.”

BASELINE Beyond the trad favorites like Nats Dogs, Enzo’s Pizza and funnel cakes, fans find local inspirations like Ben’s Chili Bowl (soul food gathering place, Haute Dogs & Fries

President Obama favorite) and, new this year, Pinch “Gourmet Chinese” Dumplings, District Doughnuts, On Rye (the Reuben, babka ice cream sandwich) and Haute Dogs & Fries (with alt toppings like Vietnamese banh mi).

FOOD BY THE FAMOUS Contemporary tastes factor at outposts of two celeb chefs.

New York’s Danny Meyer puts his mark on four eateries: Shake Shack, so popular for its burgers (no hormones) and frozen custard the space has doubled; Box Frites with Belgian-style fries and “gourmet” dogs; Blue Smoke with pulled pork, spare ribs, the Shroomburger and shakes; and the kiosk El Verano Taqueria with quesadillas, chilimarinated skirt steak and green mole chicken.

“Top Chef ” All-Star Mike Isabella spins three sites off his local restaurant empire: G for inventive Italian sandwiches (cauliflower anyone? chicken parmesan?) plus the “Drewno” (homage to a chef friend) with house-made kielbasa and then two new Isabella spots, Kapnos at the Park serving watermelon lemonade cocktails and Greek gyros (falafel, cheesesteak) and next door Catchfly with St. Louis ribs, Southern fried “popcorn” chicken, banana pudding and mint juleps.

MLB FAIRPLAY Taste of the Majors specializes in foods from other ballparks, always a signature item or two dear to visiting teams and sometimes their city’s brews.

Past tributes include a Miami Cuban, a Philly hoagie, 5-way Cincinnati chili, New York pastrami, San Diego fish tacos and a San Fran shrimp platter.

FREE AGENTS Gluten Free caters to that dietary practice with a chili cheese dog, Larabar cherry pie, dark chocolate bars. Vegetarians relish veggie burgers at, among others, Boardwalk Fries, Grand Slam Grill and exclusively veg Field of Greens (the last with a vegan crab cake and Portobello burger).

Also note: Max’s Kosher Grill offers falafel and sandwiches.

INTERNATIONAL Global tastes rule: Lebanese at Shawafel with its Zatar fries, Kapnos at the Park

Cookies by Fluffy Thoughts

Noshing Nats-Style What fans need to know about tours, tickets, VIP tables and bringing their own nourishment Tickets

shawarma and falafel sandwiches; Caribbean at Jammin’ Island BBQ serving smoky jerk chicken and ribs, red beans and rice at patio tables; Asian fare like drunken noodles and pad Thai at Intentional Wok or spicy tuna or salmon avocado rolls at Capitol Sushi.

HOME RUNS Ben’s Chili Bowl touts its half-smoke as the “official” D.C. food; Chesapeake Crab Company puts its namesake shellfish to cakes, nachos and grilled cheese; Fluffy Thoughts sells cupcakes like red velvet with cream cheese frosting.

Virginia Country Kitchen has two outlets for fried chicken, mac and cheese, country ham biscuits and Virginia wines.

Note: VCK’s Virginia Crunch— popcorn, Virginia peanuts, smoked bacon and Bourbon caramel sauce—nods to that legendary Cracker Jack.

BREW SCENE A map (thenationalsreview. com/the-nationals-park-beerguide) tracks domestic, craft and import brews. District Drafts, at several locations, pours from Atlas Brew Works, DC Brau, 3 Stars, Port City Brewing Co. and Mad Fox. From gate opening until 30 minutes before first pitch, the Budweiser Terrace serves beers for $5. After that, prices rise, but any time ascend the stairs while singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” each step inscribed with a lyric line.

Costs of the 43,000 seats vary by game, regular seats from $10 in Right Field Terrace to $145 or so in Dugout Box Premier.

But pricier tickets (up to $400) provide “luxury sporting experiences,” creature comforts and rare sightlines.

Delta Sky360 Club, behind home plate (some seats closer to the batter than the pitcher is), is the priciest. It offers a “gourmet” buffet, draft beer, house wine and soda, complimentary in-seat food and beverage service plus access to the Delta Sky360 Club, PNC Diamond Club and the Norfolk Southern Club (stretching from first to third base on club level).

Home Plate Box includes food and beverages (draft beer, house wine and soda), in-seat food and beverage service and access to the PNC Diamond Club.

PNC Diamond, a climate-controlled indoor venue, spans two floors, the lower level behind home plate. Included: food from chef’s tables, beverages from a private bar, in-seat food and beverage service, access to the Norfolk Southern Club.

Tours Guided walks depart from Center Field Gate, at 10:30 a.m. on days with night games, at 11:30, 1:30 and 2:30 on many non-game days. Adults $15; military, kids older than two, seniors $12. 202.640.7369

Full Disclosure Allowed: clear, factory-sealed plastic water bottles (one per person) at most one liter, juice boxes, food items in single serving bags within a soft-sided container or cooler, insulin containers and baby food.

Not allowed: (per security searches) bags larger than 16”x16”x8,” metal or glass containers, hard coolers or ice chests and alcohol that’s not purchased at the stadium complex.

FRUIT OF THE VINE The slogan “D.C.’s Wine Country” might startle visitors here, but that’s how vineyard owners in Virginia’s nearby Loudoun and Fauquier counties identify their territory.

Truth to tell: in less than 45 (non-rush hour) minutes from Capitol Hill, oenophiles discover vineyards in the East Coast state that Wine Enthusiast named a top 10 wine travel destination.

Consider three stops made on a recent day trip. Bruce Shutte, the driver-guide-wine man of Wine Pro Tours (wineprotours. com), led an excursion from front-door pickup into the countryside and safely back.

Such details matter to owner Danielle Vogel, who brings eco-conscious values to her “full-time farmers market.” Even the front wall of repurposed wood came from the same West Virginia farmer who canned the ramp relish. Consider “souvenirs” like D.C.-made chocolate vinaigrette, whiskey syrup from Virginia and Maryland bleu cheese plus regional craft beers.

Choose off-peak hours (e.g. before and after prime dinner time) to avoid long lines at Christina Tosi’s popular (1) Milk Bar. The local outpost of her famous New York City bakery carries the same addictive treats (think Crack Pie), but also only-in-D.C. specials like parfaits.

Located inside a Capitol Hill row house, (2) Hill’s Kitchen stocks equipment, gadgets and spices. Home cooks even find culinarythemed souvenirs (Washington Monument cookie cutters anyone?). (3) Fiola Mare may be on the Georgetown waterfront, but James Beard Award winner Fabio Trabocchi’s menu transports diners to his native Italian coast.

Dig into artful dishes like lobster ravioli (above) while gazing at the Potomac River.

With free museums, easy public transportation and a sense of fun, it’s no wonder D.C. attracts families throughout the year. Many start at the (1) Natural History Museum on the National Mall. Here kids take in wonders like creepy crawlies at the O. Orkin Insect Zoo and “Henry,” the 14-foot-tall African bush elephant (above) that greets visitors in the grand rotunda. Once an Art Deco amusement park, (2) Glen Echo Park today attracts families with marionettes at The Puppet Co. and live shows at Adventure Theatre, plus rides ($1.25) on the historic 1921 Dentzel Carousel (above). At (3) Ted’s Bulletin, parents and their broods sup on comfort foods like fried chicken, meatloaf and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Sweets include house-made “pop tarts” and milkshakes (with boozy versions for adults).

Washington, D.C. has long had an active LGBTQ community. After all, famed poet Walt Whitman met the love of his life, Peter Doyle, on a Pennsylvania Ave. NW streetcar in 1865. Today, same-sex couples might meet at hot spots like (1) Town Danceboutique. With multiple dance floors, the area’s largest gay nightclub is known for floor-thumping beats and drag shows starring local and international talent. At gay-owned (2) Avenue Jack , guys find hip-yet-laid-back looks by Original Penguin and Ben Sherman in a whimsical atmosphere with a sense of humor. Visitors who want to learn more about the gay community’s past in the city reserve a tour with (3) Rainbow History Project , whose knowledgeable guides bring the stories of figures like Walt Whitman to life.
