Probably my favorite restaurant in Shirlington.f you're lactose intolerant, you still be able to find something good on the menu, although, as you can tell from their name, cheese is their forte.

When you buy a ticket at the Newseum, you actually buy a ticket for two days. I've been there several times since I moved to DC and there is always more to see in there. Even if you don't go in, make sure to check out the daily newspapers out front of the museum. They display newspapers from THAT day from every state and from many countries around the world. Make sure to go to the top floor and get a picture with the Capitol in the background!
