" Day 1: Check in to the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown. It&amp;#039;s a bit removed from the city center, but we love the underground red-brick tunnels which connect the wings of the hotel. They&amp;#039;re great for swooping in and out unnoticed or attending a top-secret meeting. 3100 South Street NW; ritzcarlton.com/georgetown For a casual dinner, head to Rasika in Penn Quarter, one of the country&amp;#039;s best Indian restaurants. (President Obama enjoys it so much he celebrated his birthday there last year.) The classic dishes there are wonderful, but don&amp;#039;t overlook the vegetarian section, which holds hidden stars like the Paneer Makhan Palak. It&amp;#039;ll have you looking at cottage cheese in an entirely new light. 633 D Street NW; rasikarestaurant.com Finish off the night at POV Lounge, a rooftop cocktail bar with the best view in the city\u2014it overlooks the White House. 515 15th Street NW; pointofviewdc.com Day 2: There&amp;#039;s no power lunch destination quite like Tosca, where you&amp;#039;re likely to run into lobbyists and congressmen of every stripe. Like any good Italian restaurant, they have a bread basket (focaccia and crusty white bread) and pasta worth splurging on. 1112 F Street NW; toscadc.com If you don&amp;#039;t have a meeting to run to at Capitol Hill, head instead to the new Bluejacket Brewery, in a former boilermaker factory, for a tour and tasting of small-batch beer brewed in DC. 300 Tingey Street SE; bluejacketdc.com Zaytinya, a Mediterranean tapas restaurant opened by Jose Andres and now run by Top Chef contestant Mike Isabella, is a favorite of Michelle Obama. Her order usually includes the Brussels sprouts and a dirty martini. 701 9th Street NW; zaytinya.com Unwind at the night spa at the Four Seasons, which is open from 10:30 pm to 1:30 am and includes a couples massage, late-night snack of oysters and champagne, and exclusive use of the pool. Book early, as the hotel only offers this service to one couple per night. 2800 Pennsylvania Avenue NW; fourseasons.com/washington/spa Day 3: You&amp;#039;ll want to swing by Wagshal&amp;#039;s, DC&amp;#039;s most popular deli since 1925. Presidents from Truman to Bush II have stopped by for their grill-worthy meats, but if you&amp;#039;re just visiting, pick up the wine-braised brisket sandwich for a hearty meal. 4855 Massachusetts Avenue NW; wagshals.com One of the best places for a fancy restaurant in town is Central, run by acclaimed chef Michel Richard. It&amp;#039;s where political elite rub shoulders over short ribs and lobster burger. 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue NW; centralmichelrichard.com End your trip with a nightcap at Off the Record, an old-school saloon. It&amp;#039;s filled with plush red banquette, and the walls are lined with caricatures of the capital&amp;#039;s power players. 800 16th Street NW; hayadams.com/washington-dc-bars "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
