The DC Urbanites--Urban Hikers Meetup Group

Meet other locals who are interested in exploring Washington DC's legendary nooks and crannies, delving into its rich, flavorful history and discovering its best kept secrets!

In order to uniquely experience DC, we will do walking tours of its historic sites, museums, parks, monuments, neighborhoods, embassies, etc. We will go to restaurants to enjoy the multitude of culinary treats that DC has to offer, as well as concerts and street festivals--you name it, DC has it!

Discover all that you didn't know but wanted to know about DC such as:
~Abraham Lincoln is related through his mother to Tom Hanks and Mrs. Bill Cosby and through his father to Elvis Presley.
~There is no "J" Street in Washington, DC.
~Washington, DC is home to 4,000 psychiatrists.
~Men's Fitness magazine rates DC the fourth fittest city in the U.S

"There are many ways to see cities, but for anyone desiring a sense of the history and the character of an urban place , the city is best seen on foot." -Alvin R. McNeal
