I will be in DC for 7 days in May, then driving to Boston for 5 days (2 will be spent attending a conference), then to New Haven for 5 days (at least 1 of which Ill take the train to NYC).

Ive never been to DC or Boston, and I dont know where to go. I will arm myself with eyeglass, trenchcoat, lipstick, cash, and most importantly, a map. I dont know the character of any of the areas Im looking at though or their relationship to other neighborhoods because Ive never been to DC.

In Boston I have an apt Im staying at, but I dont have accomodations yet for DC. Ive posted for short-term apt. I would like to do the must-sees in both cities, as well have fun in a safe, non-elitist way which might include something useful/memorable, unique churches, architecturally pleasing buildings, parks that are pleasant, schools that are interesting, good brewski bars, and so forth. And then there is the nighttime!?

I can Google entrance fees, times, and those sorts of things at the Smithsonian and so forth, but its the kinds of places that jive with my character, the flavor of the the various neighborhoods, the closeness of things that interest me.

Any ideas? And hey! Thanks.
