AARP'S GUIDE TO WASHINGTON, D.C. The nation’s capital is famed for its majestic monuments and world-class museums, but there’s also the Washington you may not know: a city of about
700,000 residents made up of individual neighborhoods, each with different personalities. It’s a city between North and South, where you’ll find top-notch soul food (including the iconic
half-smoke sausages at Ben’s Chili Bowl); an international city serving cuisines from around the globe; a green city with riverside paths and leafy parks; and ultimately, a people’s city —
where anyone can gather for peaceful protest, celebration or learning (thanks to the 17 free Smithsonian Institution-affiliated museums, galleries and National Zoo).
