Are the hookers gone from McPherson Square? I haven't been down there in years.
Headed to DC

Oh, you have to have your photo taken with the TOS Enterprise miniature in the gift shop of National Air and Space, and use it as your avatar for at least a month.
A one-day Metro pass is $9. The one-day pass would probably cover about 3 trips, depending on how long they are and when you're going.
Fares vary by route and time of day, so depending on how much traveling you're doing, and how many days you'll be there, it might be better to just dump $10 or $20 on a regular fare card, which is good until it's kicked.
The map is very clear and easy to use, as long as you know what stop you're trying to get to.
I got lost coming up out of that Metro station and trying to get back to my hotel. There were no hookers.
(this was 2008, BTW)
I was in McPherson briefly last weekend. Can't say I was looking for hookers. It's not like they wear bright neon signs that say "hooker."
I'm here!
I walked over to the National Air and space museum; very impressive but it is laid out very much like the EAA museum in Oshkosh, WI. I am certainly in china town - can't wait to try out some authentic THAI and Chinese.
I'll be in meetings most of the day today and tomorrow, but have tonight open and some of friday. What else is there!

There's a fun sports bar in the Grand Hyatt. They serve these giant towers of beer...
There's also a Capitol City Brewery across the street from there. Good food.
We went to an Irish Pub in Chinatown...can't remember the name...but it was crazy!
Have fun....

The Irish Channel is near by and there is another Irish pub on the northside of H and 7th. All very busyand my god there must be a capitals game todaybecause its a sea or red out here.
Couple of fun things to do (lived there for close to 3 years)
- Afterwords Cafe and Bar / Kramerbooks in Dupont Circle
- Dukem Ethiopian Cuisine
- See what's playing at the Cultural Theater in Silver Spring (couple years back I saw The Wrath of Khan there
). - 3D IMAX at either Air and Space or Natural History museum (cool documentaries)
- Of course go see the Starship Enterprise!
- Say hi to Squiggy, The Brew, Alidar, Lindley, Flaming Liberal and the rest of the D.C./Baltimore crew .
- Get lunch in Arlington at Ray's Hellburger (seriously, you have to do this).
Hmm that's all I can think of at the moment.
Things have sure changed since the 90s, then. But I guess that goes without saying.
If you can spare the time, make a trip to Harpers Ferry. My sister took us there, and while it's a bit out of the way, it's totally worth it to see an old civil war town that has become a national park. It has the distinction of changing sides multiple times throughout the war.
Good luck. The most Chinese thing in Chinatown is the translation on the Starbucks sign.
There is a store across from my hotel that sells fresh dead bat. I'm not trying it but its there. So is chicken and what looks alot like cat.
Tickets for the game last night were going for $85.00. I didn't do that.
His point is if you want authentic Chinese experience, don't go to Chinatown. I had a prof who was orignally from China. He told me Chinatown here in DC was crap. Besides, it is turning into a Times Square wannabe.
