Paid subscribers get two extra issues a month. New this year, one of those is ET Leave Home. Each month, I’ll give you a list of recommendations for a different city. This month, we’re actually staying right here in Washington, DC.

We are really experiencing a tale of two DCs this month: Last weekend, people came from near and far to celebrate Pride in ours, the nation’s capital, reportedly home to the largest percentage of LGBTQ residents. Next weekend, on the president’s birthday, our roads will be descended upon by tanks for a military parade, allegedly in celebration of the Army.

I’ll have lived in Washington, DC for 10 years this August. I can’t possibly recommend everything you should do in this city but here are some things that I personally enjoy doing should you ever find yourself here to celebrate Pride or something. I would be shocked if any paid subscribers ever came here to celebrate Trump’s birthday or a military parade but I guess you could use this, too, though our taste is probably different and, respectfully, I question yours.
