The capital city that John F. Kennedy once panned for its "Southern efficiency and Northern charm" continues to rebuild itself into the world-class cultural and culinary capital it was always meant to be. Always revered for its astonishing collection of museums and historical troves, D.C. has lately become a burgeoning music hub and-more surprisingly-a foodie's playground, with hotter-than-thou restaurants opening seemingly every week. Of course, amidst all the upheaval, the nation's capital is still enthralled and defined by power-only now, with a new, younger guard ensconced, Washington's political establishment all the more accurately reflects the city's remarkably vibrant and diverse population.
