DMV: Yelp’s Summer Bucket List

It's almost summertime in the District and instead of spending it in
your cubicle get out there and experience all that local love the DMV
has to offer! Be a tourist in your own city, eat fabulous food, and
break out of that boring routine! Your local community managers:
Kimberly V (DC), Gretchen P (Northern Virginia), and Mike B (Maryland
Burbs) have compiled one heck of a Summer Bucket List for you, so you
better get crackin!

Anyone can join in
on the fun! Want to knock some things off that list with your fellow
Yelpers? Use this Talk Thread to create some super fun UYE's along the
way.
