  • DC City Guide
    DC City Guide Page | 1 Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States and the seat of its three branches of government, has a collection of free, public museums unparalleled in size and scope throughout the history of mankind, and the lion's share of the nation's most treasured monuments and memorials. The vistas on the National Mall between the Capitol, Washington Monument, White House, and Lincoln Memorial are famous throughout the world as icons of the world's wealthiest and most powerful nation. Beyond the Mall, D.C. has in the past two decades shed its old reputation as a city both boring and dangerous, with shopping, dining, and nightlife befitting a world-class metropolis. Travelers will find the city new, exciting, and decidedly cosmopolitan and international. Districts Virtually all of D.C.'s tourists flock to the Mall—a two-mile long, beautiful stretch of parkland that holds many of the city's monuments and Smithsonian museums—but the city itself is a vibrant metropolis that often has little to do with monuments, politics, or white, neoclassical buildings. The Smithsonian is a "can't miss," but don't trick yourself—you haven't really been to D.C. until you've been out and about the city. Page | 2 Downtown (The National Mall, East End, West End, Waterfront) The center of it all: The National Mall, D.C.'s main theater district, Smithsonian and non- Smithsonian museums galore, fine dining, Chinatown, the Verizon Center, the Convention Center, the central business district, the White House, West Potomac Park, the Kennedy Center, George Washington University, the beautiful Tidal Basin, and the new Nationals Park.

    SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2018 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ EE F5 The deals on the bus BY MEGAN MCDONOUGH The 227-mile ride from the District to New York City can sometimes resemble a game of duck, duck, goose. But instead of waterfowl, travelers count vehicles: car, car, bus. Car, car, bus. The much-maligned workhorses of mass transport have made a resurgence in the last decade and, in response, the number of carriers has surged, with companies adding more creature comforts, departure times and rewards programs to encourage loyalty. ¶ And while they all look nearly identical from the outside — flashy signage excepted — no two bus operators are the same. Their ticket prices, points of departure, amenities and scheduling can vary widely. And those distinctions matter, especially as you’re entering Hour 3. ¶ Overwhelmed by the options?

    The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House of Representatives United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 March 20, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy: We are America’s travel industry, an economic sector that directly employs 9 million American workers and supports a total of 15.8 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.

  • New York, New York English Now!
    Places to visit for a weekend… New York, New York English Now! Why You Should Go New York City is America's largest city and one of the world's most vibrant megacities. With a metropolitan area population of approximately 20 million, New York is a city of extremes of wealth and poverty. Most Americans would say that New York is also a city of intense images, smells, sounds, ideas, feelings, and emotions. You really should experience it during your time in the United States! Most Americans have an opinion about New York City. A very famous song by Frank Sinatra says, "if you can make it there (in NYC) you can make it anywhere." Some people love New York, and many – young people especially – move there early in their lives/careers to work in business, the arts, education, technology, NGOs, the sciences, or other sectors. New York leads the country (and sometimes the world) in many of these fields. However, many Americans feel that New Yorkers are impolite and unfriendly. It is very common for Americans to say that they love to visit New York but would never want to live there. New York attracts the world’s attention as well. New York and its Ellis Island immigration gateway have been the first destination for many of America’s immigrants – German, Irish, Italian, etc., and now Chinese, Indian, etc. etc. The world was also watching after terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. One other way to think about New York is as a fantastic expression of resilience, a quality that American society and Americans have when we are at our best.
