Lots of beer. Summertime in the city can get hot and seriously humid, so finding activities that will keep you cool is definitely a must. I have rounded up my top places to shop, eat and my favorite things to do when summer strikes in the DMV. Shop: The DC area has tons of shopping to choose from but if you are looking for a more unique shopping/culinary experience, head on over to Union Market in DC.
