Visiting Washington, D.C. for the Inauguration? Wish I could be there! But while you're in town, be sure to visit some of the area's great indies. And pick up a vegan pepperoni calzone from Busboys and Poets for me! Here's a short list of places to check out.
Politics & Prose
Kramerbooks & Afterwords
Busboys and Poets
The International Spy Museum
