Any good places in DC you'd recommend? Will be there and able to explore a bit the Saturday before Memorial Day.
For pho? Absolutely. The only correct answer is Pho Viet DC http://www.phovietwdc.com/. My wife and I were just in Vietnam this past October and Pho Viet DC is as close as it gets to being as good as eating it in Vietnam imo (other than the pho you could get in the west coast). Their lemongrass pho pwns and if you go don't even think about it, get the lemongrass pho. It's a no frills hole in the wall place, but they are always busy and they get people in and out. It is in NW DC and it's not in a touristy area, but it's worth going to. There are also several other restaurants in that neighborhood worth going to eat.
If you are looking for other recommendations just PM me, I have a ton.
Edit: spicy lemongrass pho #11 to be exact.
