A field guide to Washington, D.C.: political lore and go-go music, senators and poets, power brunch and iconic art.

Inside Wildsam Washington, D.C. you'll find city stories from prize-winning writers, past and present: illustrated maps to international cuisine, parks and trails and sites of international intrigue; interviews with senators, chefs and top D.C. authors; delightful miscellany from the archives, selective recommendations about authentic D.C. experiences and trusted travel essentials.

"Washingtonians often say there are two cities: official 'Washington' versus the real 'D.C.' To some, they barely touch. And it is tricky to express the mix. Our nation's capital is always with us as a mental newsreel of big events and marbled aura. By contrast, local D.C. tends to be homespun, surprisingly quirky, with some rebel energy."
