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

D.C. is many great things, but it’s most definitely a museum town. The already impressive cultural cache grew substantially this fall with the opening of the newest Smithsonian site, the African American History and Culture Museum (featured in our October issue and online), as well as the reopening of the National Gallery of Art’s East Building (page 8) with more exhibit space and a roof terrace that’s sure to become a hot spot—for that big blue rooster alone! This month, pro sports factor, too, with hockey and basketball fans pouring into Verizon Center and football supporters heading out to FedEx Field. See page 6 for our guide to the teams and where to cheer them on. Festivities take place all across the region, as the holiday season gets into full swing with a dancing Scrooge and parading “Nutcracker” mice (page 4). Even if you have only limited time, we can show you how to make the most of it at a top D.C. destination. 80 MINUTES IN:

Arlington National Cemetery

In this month when we honor the country’s veterans of war, a visit to Arlington National Cemetery (page 16) seems especially timely. Soldiers from all national conflicts—the Revolutionary War to the Iraq War—are buried in this 624-acre hallowed ground just across the Potomac River from Washington. On rolling lawns overlooking the capital, white tombstones stretch as far as the eye can see, a somber reminder of the cost of war. It was the high death toll of the Civil War that prompted the cemetery’s creation, from an estate that belonged to Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary, a great-granddaughter of Martha Washington. Memorial Bridge arches across the Potomac

linking Lee’s former property to the Lincoln Memorial in a symbolic union of the war’s opposing sides. Today the cemetery is free and open to the public daily. Begin your visit at the Welcome Center, which is near the main entrance (above) and offers exhibits, a bookstore and tickets for a hop-on, hop-off narrated bus tour ($12, children $6, discounts for military). But on a crisp fall day, walking may be the way to go. Before you set off, pick up a map or download the free ANC Explorer app from iTunes or the cemetery website. (Kiosks throughout the property also host the app.) Head uphill to the restored Arlington House, Lee’s former abode furnished with family artifacts and open for self-guided

in the world

Where is an international network of magazines first published in 1936 and distributed in over 4,000 leading hotels in more than 50 places around the world.

exploration. From the home’s lofty perch, don’t miss the stunning view of Washington. Appropriately enough, the grave of D.C. planner Pierre Charles L’Enfant is nearby, with equally impressive sightlines on the city. A short stroll away, find the grave of John F. Kennedy, a popular pilgrimage site. The simple black slab lies in a terrace of Cape Cod granite, along with the eternal flame, lit by Jackie Kennedy on the day of his funeral, plus her grave and those of other family members. Walk south to Memorial Amphitheater, where ceremonies mark Easter, Memorial Day and Veterans Day, and look above the stage to see an inscription from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address: “We here highly resolve that

these dead shall not have died in vain.” Not far away, the Tomb of the Unknowns (above) holds the remains of unidentified soldiers from WWI, WWII and the Korean War. (The Vietnam War soldier was identified and removed.) “The Old Guard” of the U.S. Army patrols the site 24 hours a day. Try to time your visit to catch a changing of the guard (every hour on the hour), an exercise in poignant precision that includes a 21-step march and 21-second halts to represent the 21-gun salute, the highest military honor. Make a final stop at the Marine Corps War Memorial (above, second from right), inspired by the iconic photo, on display at D.C.’s Newseum, of Marines raising a U.S. flag during WWII’s Battle of Iwo Jima.

NOV. 10:

2016 Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions

This summer Simone Biles took our breath away, as she leapt, flipped and stuck those landings to claim four Olympic golds and become the most decorated American gymnast ever. You’d think she would want nothing more than to kick back on the couch, but, lucky for fans, she’s joining her gold-medal “Final Five” teammates, plus former Olympic champs Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson and Jordyn Wieber, on a 36-city tour that stops at Verizon Center (page 32). Local gymnasts join in, too—who knows, someday we may be applauding one of them on the medal stand.

Fun Facts

Point guard John Wall

Here’s some team trivia to get you talking sports like a local.

Washingtonians love not only their teams but also the sports bars that toast them. Head to one of these favorites for brews, dogs and the game in high-def.

Redskins • Won Super Bowls XVII, XXII and XXVI. • Have 19 players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, including former coach George Allen, whose son Bruce is now the team’s president. • Debuted their official fight song, “Hail to the Redskins,” on August 17, 1938.

Left wing Alex Ovechkin

Wizards

• Started out in the NBA in 1961 as the Chicago Packers.

• Joined the NHL as an expansion team for the 1974-75 season. Their record that season (8-67-5) is the worst in league history. • In 2015-16, won the Presidents’ Trophy, which goes to the team with the best record in the regular season. • Practice in free sessions open to the public at Arlington, Virginia’s Kettler Capitals Iceplex, where a team store sells everything fans need to “Rock the Red.”

BUFFALO BILLIARDS This Dupont Circle staple should be called Buffalo Billiards and skeeball, shuffleboard, foosball, ping pong, pop-a-shot and Golden Tee. TRY: The Drunken Dog, an Angus all-beef hot dog wrapped in bacon and topped with Mexican adobo BBQ beer sauce. GO: 1330 19th St. NW FAST EDDIE’S The downtown hangout features billiards and plenty of what it advertises on the sign out front: sports, wings and beer. TRY: Traditional or boneless wings with one of 21 sauces, including Montreal chicken and Gator BBQ. GO: 1520 K St. NW

• Were known as the Bullets until their late owner, Abe Pollin, changed the name in 1995, saying he was uncomfortable with the violent connotations surrounding it.

Capitals

Cheerleaders

Keeping Score In the fall, of course, the sports scene is all about hoops, pigskins and pucks. The Redskins play at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, and while recent years have been disappointing, last season quarterback Kirk Cousins led the team to the NFL playoffs. Penn Quarter’s Verizon Center is home to the NBA Wizards and NHL Capitals. (See page 35 for this month’s home game schedules.) Although the Wizards haven’t won a championship since 1978, they have promising young stars like John Wall and Bradley Beal. The Caps are hoping former league MVP Alex Ovechkin can help them claim their first Stanley Cup title. Win or lose, the teams draw legions of loyal fans who cheer them on in person or from one of the sports-crazy spots at right.

PENN QUARTER SPORTS TAVERN A huge space drawing fans before games at Verizon Center, this mainstay has 35 TVs, three on its enclosed, heated patio.

TRY: The Penn Quarter burger, made with a half-pound of Angus beef and served on a brioche roll with lettuce, tomato, onion, fries and a pickle. GO: 639 Indiana Ave. NW PUBLIC BAR Nothing about this Dupont Circle spot is understated. It boasts D.C.’s largest HD projector, along with 31 TVs on the main floor, 13 in the upstairs lounge and four on the rooftop deck. TRY: Slow-roasted and flash-fried wings. GO: 1214 18th St. NW B CLEVELAND PARK BAR & GRILL A distinct neighborhood vibe permeates this pretension-free local favorite that offers an extensive beer list and sports on TV. TRY: The 4 Seasons pizza, with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, artichokes, mushrooms, imported Italian ham and black olives. GO: 3421 Connecticut Ave. NW

MUST-SEE EXHIBITS

WHERE NOW Washington From miniature abodes reflecting changing domestic trends across the centuries to space-age photos revealing the surface of the moon in dramatic detail, these cultural exhibitions take visitors on a mind-expanding journey. NATIONAL BUILDING MUSEUM Enter miniature worlds—12 dollhouses from London’s Victoria & Albert Museum, spanning 300 years and graced by 1,900 restored objects, and a “Dream House” of 24 rooms, each the vision of a fine artist, designer or architect. Imaginative spaces hold furnishings crafted of clay, 3-D printing, insects and even marshmallow Peeps. 401 F St. NW, 202.272.2448, nbm.org AIR & SPACE MUSEUM “A New Moon Rises” consists of 61 large images—craters, mountains, lava flows and Apollo landing sites—taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera. Also here: photos of dramatic airport towers like Dubai’s that’s flower-shaped and tinted with a golden glaze. 6th St. & Independence Ave. SW, 202.633.2214, nasm.si.edu The moon at Air & Space

TEXTILE MUSEUM On the GWU campus, curators mount an election-year treat—rare campaign flags like a strangely configured stars-and-stripes banner touting Lincoln’s 1860 presidential run. A colorful, more exotic display features Okinawan museum treasures of bingata, robes of resistdyed fabrics, as well as contemporary fashion designs. 701 21st St. NW, 202.994.5200, museum.gwu.edu RENWICK GALLERY The Smithsonian’s showcase

Contemporary craft at Renwick

of fine craft installs 70 works by contemporary artists, all fascinated by “transformation, ruin and rebirth.” They embrace a variety of media: Steven Young Lee’s clay vessels slumped in the kiln, Kristen Morgin’s fool-the-eye painted clay replicas of vintage toys, Norwood Viviano’s narrative sculptures of glass, cast bronze and 3-D printing and Jennifer Trask’s jewelry and large-scale assemblages of bone, resin, antique frames and butterfly wings. 17th St. & Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 202.633.7970, americanart.si.edu MOUNT VERNON With “Lives Bound Together,” the Donald W. Reynolds Museum tells stories of slave life at the George Washington estate. Artifacts include objects found in excavations and the original pages of Washington’s 1799 will instructing that his slaves be freed at his death. Nineteen enslaved individuals provide a narrative thread, while a slave cemetery-turned-memorial honors those whose identities are, for the most part, lost. 3200 Mount Vernon Highway, 703.780.2000, mountvernon.org HILLWOOD ESTATE MUSEUM & GARDENS In the gardens rise four 15-foothigh fiberglass sculptures that depict human busts (heads and shoulders) as if formed from botanical materials. With these

startling works, contemporary artist Philip Haas pays homage to portraits of the four seasons as depicted by Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Tucked into multiple galleries, “Deco Japan” reveals a dazzling array of objects created from the 1920s to the 1940s. Japanese artisans adapted the West’s moderne style—geometric, Jazz Age and streamlined—for their own expressive traditions. The cross-era results: a calligraphic poster with flapper holding a cocktail and silver cranes mimicking the ancient art of origami. 4155 Linnean Ave. NW, 202.686.5807, hillwoodmuseum.org

Japanese Art Deco at Hillwood

NEWSEUM Dedicated to the glories of a free press, its exhibitions document events like 9/11 as well as light-hearted topics like “First Dogs: American Presidents and Their Pets.” Special: the Pulitzer Prize Photographs Gallery, updated to include every winner since the first award in 1942, and (very timely) “CNN Politics Campaign 2016: Like, Share, Elect,” the story of the current presidential race in real time. Think “immersive experience” that by Nov. 8 computes the election and tracks America’s shifting demographics on a “magic wall.” 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 888.639.7386, newseum.org

Visual Art Stars Paintings, videos and performance pieces that move in more ways than one. For details, see the listings starting on page 14.—JLC African Art Museum In “Senses of Time: Video and Film-Based Works of Africa,” prized artists based in Egypt, England, the Congo and South Africa show short videos: Moataz Nasr’s Arab Spring shadow portraits in water, Theo Eshetu’s kaleidoscopic vibrations that evoke intricate textiles and Yinka Shonibare’s anti-war “costume drama” with guests in African-pattern court dress at a masked ball. American Art Museum “Hot Beat” revisits the 1960s with stripe paintings by the late Gene Davis, a native son who played that single geometric shape into a dazzling variety of artworks. Opening Nov. 18, the show of 15 signature paintings anticipates his lifelong experiments with color and scale, from one-inch “micro” canvases to a 414-foot span atop a Philadelphia street. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden Icelandic performance artist Ragnar Kjartansson intrigues with tableaux of repetitive sound and movement—live happenings like a five-month floating concert on a boat at the 2013 Venice Biennale. His videos, some never seen in the U.S., document the artist, (in his words) a “poseur” with “fake emotions.” What seems at first a test of viewer endurance soon becomes touching comedy laced with melancholy. For the run of the exhibition, a rotating cast performs “Woman in E,” each musician wearing sequins and playing an E-minor chord. National Gallery of Art/East Building The reopening and reconfiguration of the I.M. Pei-designed East Building help to mark the West Building’s 75th anniversary. Installations focus on two women—Barbara Kruger, who fills the Tower 3 gallery with her confrontational lithographs, and L.A. gallerist/patron Virginia Dwan, who gave early attention to avant-garde artists shown in 100 works here. On the new Roof Terrace: a 14.5-foot-tall electric blue rooster by Katharina Fritsch gazes out at Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

Washington Your Way

Foodie

Family Friendly

Music Lover

As Bon Appetit’s Restaurant City of the Year and the subject of a new Michelin Guide, D.C. is on a dining hot streak. “Top Chef” celebrity Mike Isabella has several well-reviewed restaurants under his belt, but (1) Graffiato was his first in the nation’s capital. On the menu? Smoky grilled octopus (above) and his famous pepperoni sauce. The James Beard Foundation has recognized plenty of D.C. chefs and restaurants, but Mark Furstenberg’s (2) Bread Furst in Van Ness is the only local bakery that can claim the honor (two years in a row!). Furstenberg bakes up pillowy breads and pastries that live up to the accolades, so arrive early to snag a seat. With eateries and retail, (3) Union Market is a foodie’s paradise. Stroll the stalls for locally made fare to take home or stake out a perch and sample the area’s culinary bounty.

History, art and culture at every turn make visiting the capital an engaging educational experience. And with many free museums and attractions, the city is ideal for families. At the (1) American History Museum, the vast collections include Dorothy’s ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz” and the Apple II personal computer released in 1977 (above). After a long day of sightseeing, famished folks head to (2) Carmine’s for supersized plates of Italian favorites like spaghetti and meatballs and cheesecake for four. At (3) Rock Creek Park Nature Center and Planetarium, children check out critters like bees in an active hive and turtles. At the planetarium, rangers take tykes on a journey through a projection of the night sky, with some stargazing sessions held outside on clear nights.

In the hometown of jazz great Duke Ellington (born here in 1899), visitors find top musical acts from classical ensembles to today’s biggest pop stars. The (1) Folger Consort performs at Folger Shakespeare Library's Elizabethanstyle theater (above), transporting concertgoers with melodies from the medieval, Renaissance and baroque periods played on instruments like the theorbo, a large lute. Got “Hamilton” fever? Washington gets the touring company of the Tony Award-winning musical in 2017, but until then, pay homage at least in name and spirit at (2) The Hamilton Live, an intimate concert venue for acts from country and bluegrass to reggae. (3) The Kennedy Center offers a twofer: free entertainment daily at 6 p.m. on the Grand Foyer’s Millennium Stage and one of the best views of the Potomac.
