With its impressive monuments and museums, its stately government buildings and mansions, Washington is easily recognizable as a capital city. Government is the city's economic engine and government buildings—everything from museums to mansions—bring millions of tourists each year. Washington is the second most visited city in the United States (after New York) and among the top travel destinations in the world. While the city underwent a period of high security following the terrorist attacks in September of 2001, Washington is, for the most part, back to business as usual and welcoming visitors to its hotels, monuments, public spaces and historic buildings. It remains a dynamic city with charming and vibrant neighborhoods where you'll find lively nightlife, fabulous shopping and wonderful restaurants. Adams-Morgan Popular with the young, hip crowd, Adams-Morgan is considered one of Washington's most colorful neighborhoods. Though it is primarily home to Latinos and West Africans, the neighborhood is brimming with people of many backgrounds. It's a great place to find ethnic restaurants and with its mix of nationalities, Adams-Morgan is one of the most interesting and cosmopolitan neighborhoods in the city. The cultural diversity is evident in its quirky shops and offbeat bars and clubs. Anacostia Just across the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, Anacostia is a historic African-American neighborhood. The neighborhood, named after its Native American inhabitants, dates back to John Smith's arrival in the New World in 1607. Of particular interest are the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, the Woodlawn Cemetery and the Anacostia Museum: a Smithsonian Museum showcasing African-American culture.
