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 Lucky you! While D.C. always offers a treasure trove of sights and experiences, this month is an especially exciting time for capital exploration. After four years of construction and anticipation, the Smithsonian’s newest site now welcomes visitors. Read about some of the many features that make the African American History and Culture Museum a true must-see (page 10). It’s already proven so popular that extended hours and (free) timed-entry passes have been implemented to manage crowds. Folks are also flocking to hot spots in the city’s exploding dining scene, given star cred by a new Michelin Guide publishing mid-month. With so many restaurants to choose from, we asked top chefs to share where they go for a celebratory meal (page 6). All this calls for a toast, perhaps at one of the buzzing craft breweries (page 8). Even if you have only limited time, we can show you how to make the most of it at a top D.C. destination.

National Air and Space Museum

It all began in 1876 with the procurement of 20 Chinese kites. These delicate flyers seeded the Smithsonian Institution’s historic air- and spacecraft collection that, 140 years later, is the largest in the world. With 60,000 artifacts housed in two sites—on the National Mall and in Chantilly, Virginia, near Dulles International Airport—the National Air and Space Museum (page 16) is the country’s most-visited museum, drawing more than 8 million through its doors every year. If you’re tight on time, take in the highlights—for free, of course—at the National Mall’s marble-and-glass-clad landmark (above), which opened in 1976. (The ribbon cutting was done not by a high-powered politician

but by the high-flying Viking 1, which sent a trigger signal while orbiting Mars.) Start at the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall, just inside the Mall entrance. Recently renovated for the building’s 40th anniversary, this soaring atrium features amazing objects, from the Spirit of St. Louis (above), the custom-built plane that Charles Lindbergh piloted in 1927 on the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight, to the Mercury Friendship 7, which in 1962 carried the first American (John Glenn) to orbit around the Earth. Other sights here include the aircraft speed record-holder North American X-15, the flight jacket that belonged to first American woman in space Sally Ride (above, right) and a touchable moon rock.

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.

UNITED STATES Alaska, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Indianapolis, Jacksonville/St. Augustine/Amelia Island, Las Vegas, Los Angeles,

Trekkies, don’t miss the newly installed model of the USS Enterprise (above, right), used in filming the 1960s “Star Trek” TV series. Also on the first floor, the America by Air exhibit tracks the speedy evolution of flight during the 20th century with artifacts like the Fairchild FC-2, an early passenger plane that carried five (including the pilot), and the walk-in nose of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet. Head to the Space Race exhibit for missiles, rockets and capsules that were part of the Cold War’s U.S.-Soviet rivalry, including the Apollo 11 command module Columbia, intimate digs for Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins during the first manned trip to the moon. Then make a quick detour upstairs

(and back in time) to see the world’s first successful plane, the 1903 Wright flyer. The fragilelooking craft rests on the floor, giving close-up views of its simple wood and muslin frame. Inspired to take your own flight? Return to the first floor, where simulators let visitors ride the space shuttle, tour the International Space Station or fly a combat sortie with, if nerves allow, a 360-degree barrel roll turn ($8-$10). Make a final stop at the gift shop for models of the famed aircraft, kites, toys and even a child’s astronaut suit for the aspiring space traveler. If you still have time, head to the Public Observatory, where on clear days (Wed.-Sun. noon-3 p.m.), you can glimpse craters on the moon.

TOP SPOTS In this Halloween month, everyone loves to play dress up, from kids, of course, to drag queens and even Fido.

HOT DATES OCT. 5-23:

Alex Sharp as Christopher in the Broadway production

“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”

Last year this critically acclaimed drama won five Tony Awards, including best play. Now it takes the Opera House stage at the Kennedy Center (page 35). Adapted by Simon Stephens from Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel, the story—presented as a play within a play—centers on 15-year-old Christopher, who’s a math genius but struggles with an autism-related condition. Visual and sound effects help bring the audience into his exceptional mind, as he happens upon a mystery, turns Sherlock-style sleuth and embarks on a difficult but transformative journey.

Festive Feasts In a city with a blazing restaurant scene, some of the best chefs in town tell us where they go for a celebratory meal. BY OLGA BOIKESS

s Bon Appétit’s Restaurant City of the Year and one of Michelin’s newest subjects (the guide publishes Oct. 13), D.C. is a major league dining destination. Indeed, there are so many exciting options that it can be hard to choose a spot to celebrate with friends or loved ones. For guidance, we asked some top toques where they go for a special meal. Word to the wise—heed their advice. For details, see the restaurant listings starting on page 24. FABIO TRABOCCHI Trabocchi, whose posh Fiola in Chinatown and Fiola Mare in Georgetown are high on many special occasion lists, enthuses about a recent visit to Eric Ziebold’s contemporary American in Shaw, Kinship. Trabocchi says D.C.’s fine dining scene has gotten a “facelift,” and that Ziebold’s cooking exemplifies these exciting changes. He adds that Ziebold, who constantly changes his menu, uses the “best ingredients in refined” dishes; the “technique of execution is perfect”; and the “elegant and comfortable, but not formal” ambiance feels like a “party at his house.” ERIC ZIEBOLD The Kinship chef returns Trabocchi’s compliment by describing a dinner at the “beautiful” waterside Fiola Mare as having just the “right air of formality”—“elegant enough, with a certain level of comfort and familiarity for a great night out.” As for the food, Ziebold singles out the freshness of the seafood plateau; the “simply grilled” black bass (“one second less, and it would be underdone; one second more, and it would be cooked too much”); and the smoked gnocchi’s “richness of flavor.” TIM MA The rising star chef/owner of the Asian-accented Kyirisan in Shaw offers another perspective on Ziebold’s Kinship. Old friends from New York City who had heard good things about the restaurant were in town. Checking it out with Ma, they reveled in an “elegant” room with “tables spread out” so they could talk. Ziebold’s cooking technique, Ma explains, is like “art”—the food is “done so properly, seasoned perfectly and every plate is exactly where [Ziebold] wants it to be.” Ma remembers the “beautiful treatment” of a slowly cooked

salmon that “balances sweet, sour, salty and bitter” elements— a goal Ma says he strives for in his own cooking. FRANK RUTA The former White House chef and current top toque of Georgetown’s Grill Room explains that formal dining need not be intimidating. When he took his sous chef to dine with former colleagues at downtown’s Plume in the Jefferson Hotel, he found that this “very elevated” room, with its “sophisticated attention to detail” and refined level of service, felt “very celebratory” and “fun.” The ambiance, with its handpainted French silk wallpaper, was warmed by “welcoming” staff with a “youthful exuberance that loosens things up.” What with “champagne popping” and the “theatrical flair” of dishes like crab consommé prepared tableside, where it is infused like tea with edible flowers, spices and herbs, then poured over crabs, oranges and vegetables, it was an “exhilarating” evening. MIKE ISABELLA The “Top Chef” alum spent a recent evening at Masseria in Northeast, where he and his wife relaxed in the courtyard bar with “great” cocktails by a “talented mixologist.” After, they moved into the “cozy” dining room for elevated versions of classic Italian fare. Isabella says he “grew up with cannoli,” but they were nothing like Nicholas Stefanelli’s fois gras truffle cannoli, with its

Masseria’s linguini with XO sauce

Plume’s elegant dining room

“cracker-like” texture and “beautiful flavors taken to the next level” (available by request). Ditto the “perfectly cooked,” “melt-in-themouth” pasta. NORA POUILLON Pineapple and Pearls on Capitol Hill is one of the most talkedabout venues for the “new” fine dining experience. Nora Pouillon, whose eponymous Dupont Circle restaurant pioneered organic American cuisine and is also a popular special occasion choice, recently tried the buzzed-about nine-course tasting menu. Drinks, wine and service are included in the price that must be paid for in advance. “Every plate is an ‘aha’ moment,” and the “food, plates and presentation are unique for every course,” she reports. The experience is “relaxing and enjoyable” with chefs (head chef Aaron Silverman, among them) as well as staff checking in on guests. CEDRIC MAUPILLIER Special occasion dining can also be low key. Maupillier’s inventive, yet deliciously approachable, French/American seasonal fare at his hip Shaw spot, Convivial, reflects his Gallic roots. When his family visited last winter, Maupillier saw it as an opportunity to learn about the “concepts of Mid-

Atlantic food” at The Dabney. At the Shaw spot, they enjoyed the “most beautiful oysters from Virginia, with homemade hot sauce,” celery root slowly roasted in the embers of a wood fire that “concentrated the natural flavor of the vegetable,” and the “urban rustic feel” of the open hearth-dominated dining room that Maupillier imagines is like an “old village in the Blue Ridge Mountains.”

The Dabney’s Jeremiah Langhorne

JEREMIAH LANGHORNE Langhorne celebrates at the minimalist Mediterranean, Komi. What is “great” about the Dupont Circle restaurant is that “it’s really simple but provides you with every luxury.” He says he loves the contrast of a parade of “refined small plates” offering “exciting playful twists,” with the roasted goat shoulder, served whole at the end with a bunch of condiments. You “use your hands,” he says, for a communal experience. 7

Beer Buzz

Local Craft Breweries The past few years have seen vats bubbling up all over town, as inventive beer meisters tap D.C. history and their own sense of experimentation. Here are a few of our favorites.—BS With its April 2011 opening, DC Brau became the city’s first packaging brewery after a half-century drought. Founders Brandon Skall and Jeff Hancock, who met as DJs spinning at local clubs, produce a variety of beers, including popular hops-heavy ale The Public, plus Penn Quarter Porter, The Citizen and collaborations with other local brewers. The tasting room opens daily, and free tours run every Saturday. 3178-B Bladensburg Road NE, dcbrau.com

Capitol City Brewing Co.’s Mid-Atlantic Oktoberfest

WILKOMMEN! Each fall the mayor of Munich opens Oktoberfest with “O’zapft is!” (“It is tapped!”), a call that echoes in this city as restaurants, bars and breweries toast the festival spirit. Georgetown institution Old Europe (page 32) celebrates all month with Spaten Oktoberfest Bier and specialties like—deep breath— “Schweinenackenbraten,” roasted pork with beer gravy and sauerkraut. Revelers hoist a mug at newer spots, too, like Dupont Circle’s Sauf Haus, Shaw’s Dacha and H Street’s Biergarten Haus, whose courtyard holds 400 thirsty patrons. At restaurantbrewery Gordon Biersch, selections made according to the German Purity Law include Oktoberfest fave Märzen. Some of these also show up Oct. 1 at Capitol City Brewing Co.’s Mid-Atlantic Oktoberfest, along with pours from Capitol City and 65 other beer makers (capcitybrew.com). Oct. 6-9, the Brooklyn Brewery Mash Tour (brooklynbrewery mash.com) brings a beer “mansion” and a hopsfueled exploration of Adams Morgan.—Brooke Sabin For more venue details, see pages 37-39.

Renowned beer guru Greg Engert oversees the operations at Bluejacket, which embraces Old World brewing traditions while experimenting with house strains of yeast and fermentation vessels like the open-top “coolship” to concoct a rotating selection of 20 beers and five cask ales. The dramatic space, once a U.S. Navy factory, also holds a restaurantbar, tasting room and bottle shop. 300 Tingey St. SE, bluejacketdc.com The first brewery in Alexandria since Prohibition, Port City was founded by vintner turned hops man Bill Butcher. Offerings include year-round standards like Monumental IPA, Downright Pilsner and the award-winning Optimal Wit, plus seasonal brews and creative limited releases. (Think oyster

This space, too, is adorned with colorful chalk murals of city scenes gone quirky.

TOP 10 REASONS TO GO Stunning architecture, poignant artifacts and high-tech LEED Gold certification add up to a fascinating exploration of the African American History and Culture Museum.

Facade with its “corona”

ART+CULTURE

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE BY JEAN LAWLOR COHEN

The Smithsonian’s African American History and Culture Museum opened September 24 with a ribbon cutting by President Barack Obama. Whether seated with VIPs beside the dazzling structure or gathered on the grounds of the Washington Monument, thousands celebrated the realization of a long-held vision. As the institution’s newest addition, the museum is naturally a must-see. But there are even more reasons to visit this important collection.

THE STATE OF THE UNION “It will be a place for healing and reconciliation,” says Lonnie Bunch, the museum’s founding director, “a place where everyone can explore the story of America through the lens of the AfricanAmerican experience.”

a series of spaces with sweeping paths, trees native to the South, a fountain and a calm reflecting pool at the south entry. Water elements, moving and still, make for inviting “thresholds,” even as they evoke the sea journeys of the first African Americans.

THE LOCATION Set on five acres at the southwest corner of Constitution Avenue and 14th Street, the museum assumes a prime place in the monumental core. Just steps from the Washington Monument, the new structure adds fresh perspective to the mission of its neighbor, the National Museum of American History.

THE DESIGN Freelon Adjaye Bond/Smithgroup called for a glass showcase wrapped in 3,600 panels of intricately patterned aluminum. The bronze-toned metalwork dubbed “the corona” allows for dappled light to enter and for a glow to emanate by night. Its form evokes the top of a Yoruban column as well as ironwork crafted in this country by “invisible” slaves and freedmen.

THE LANDSCAPE Gustafson Guthrie Nichol has created

THE CONTENT Thousands of objects lend substance to stories of life in the New World, from days of slavery to 21stcentury events like President Obama’s second inauguration. Large-scale artifacts punctuate the journey, while intimate objects recall triumphant moments. Among them, find a dress made by Rosa Parks before her arrest on a segregated bus and a leotard worn by Olympic gold-medal gymnast Gabby Douglas.

THE TECH The $540 million project has earned LEED Gold certification. Displays include immersive sound, a step-dancing lesson that generates LED av-

atars and interactive features that “recreate” experiences, like a 1949 car trip per the Green Book guide of black-friendly stops.

THE ART A growing collection spans from 18thcentury portraiture by Joshua Johnson to 21st-century narratives by Rashid Johnson and Kara Walker. Chief curator Jacquelyn Serwer says that commissions of major abstract works signal the centrality of black artists in contemporary art history.

THE CELEBS Achievements and memorabilia of African-American musicians and performers receive star treatment here: a unique brass-and-gold trumpet crafted in Paris for Louis Armstrong, the 1973 cherry-red Cadillac from Chuck Berry’s personal fleet, even a fedora worn by Michael Jackson.

THE PERSONNEL The staff may be the most racially diverse of any within the Smithsonian. That

Rosa Parks’ dress

inclusiveness marks the 300 volunteers chosen from 1,000 applicants. After role-playing exercises and processing their own emotions, guides are prepared to respond to visitors’ reactions. Personal encounters also happen with staffers, like the library’s onsite genealogist who offers to trace family connections.

THE IMPACT The Contemplative Court with an oculus and falling water encourages visitors to reflect on what they have seen and felt here. But unlike other “sites of conscience,“ this museum lifts the spirit even as it commemorates. It makes the case that history, though marked by heartwrenching events, consists of hopeful, joyous moments.

[WHERE INSIDE]

Washington Your Way

Fashionista

First-Timer

LGBTQ

In a city with trendsetting first ladies like Jackie Kennedy and Michelle Obama, fashion followers have plenty of ways to indulge their obsession. They might begin their sartorial exploration at (1) Bloom. The Dupont Circle jewelry boutique carries statement necklaces, beaded earrings, stacking bracelets and sterling silver pieces handmade by artisans in Turkey. At (2) Hugh & Crye’s minimalist studio in Navy Yard, gents find shirts and blazers designed to fit 12 different body types. For a more scholarly look at clothing (and inspiration?), (3) The Textile Museum at George Washington University has a wealth of treasures, including intricately woven Chinese costumes dating to the Ming Dynasty, rare Kuna appliqué blouses from Mexico and embroidered kerchiefs from the Ottoman period.

With so much history, culture and entertainment, there’s no shortage of things to see and do in D.C. So don your most comfortable walking shoes and start with the basics. You could spend an entire day at Smithsonian’s (1) Natural History Museum and never get bored. See the Hope Diamond and stop by the O. Orkin Insect Zoo. Pro tip: On Tuesdays, stroll through the Butterfly Pavilion for free with a timed ticket. From there, you’re right on the (2) National Mall. “America’s front yard” gives you easy access to other Smithsonian museums, as well as the city’s famed monuments and memorials. A must for every visitor, the (3) National Zoo is an easy trip by Metrorail. See many intriguing animals, especially celebrity giant pandas like Bei Bei (above) frolicking before an adoring crowd.

The city’s LGBTQ roots run deep. After all, the Human Rights Campaign is headquartered here, and famous resident Walt Whitman met the love of his life, Peter Doyle, here. Luckily for visitors, that means there are plenty of ways to soak up the local color. In Logan Circle, chic (1) Number Nine bar pours two-for-one happy hour deals daily from opening to 9 p.m. Sit inside the sleek two-story space, or head to the patio for some serious people-watching. Eclectic (2) Adams Morgan’s bars and cafes draw a vibrant crowd that seems to go all night long. Bop to live music at Madam’s Organ, or salsa with the best of ‘em at Rumba Café. In Arlington, Virginia, the Tony Award-winning (3) Signature Theatre has been attracting a devoted crowd for top-notch musicals and contemporary plays since 1989.
