Probably the best monument in DC considering the Korean War monument is right next door as well. The Lincoln statue itself is just.... spectacular. The detail.is amazing. It's open all night and generally well crowded into the late hrs of the evening and safe.. strength in numbers. Be sure to sit on the steps and stare off at the reflection pool and Washington monument in the distance which is especially cool at night when everything is lit. Also take a walk underneath to read about the history behind the statue and how it was constructed.

After I'd suggest walking the shirt distance to the Korean War memorial and WWII memorial since they're both within minutes on foot.

Very cool little museum hidden downstairs along Main street in Memphis. Wouldn't have known they were there without Google. Very cheap and worth the $6 admission. Ended up taking everything in slowly and we were there for 2 hrs. I'd suggest budgeting 1 1/2-2 hrs. The Asian collection was remarkable. Couldn't believe how many artifacts they had collected and in such pristine condition. I only wish the Judiac side has as much as well. Left me wanting more. The Holocaust collection was touching and heartfelt. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Memphis. Not too far from Beale Street.

Theory was great! Let's start with dessert since it's on my tongue still...the cookie skillet with iced cream!!!!! It's fresh baked in a skillet and served warm. WOW. Save room and an absolute steal at $9 enough to feed definitely two people three as well. The turkey wrap and fries was on point. Delicious and fresh ingredients. Fries were crisp and tasty. Hummus had a unique taste to it that I couldn't quite figure out but I really liked it. The pita was warm and fresh and they brought us several more pieces upon request. Bathrooms clean. The absolute best part was the availability of NFL games both inside and out. The curbside seating was perfect on a gorgeous day with 3 HDTVs and 3 different games on as well as every other game on the NFL ticket on inside. Food was more than reasonably priced as well. Service was impeccable and the managers were very nice greeting and asking how our experience was at Theory.
