I'll be traveling with a teenager and we'll have rental car and staying in Alexandria. We're into museums, monuments, historical sites, etc. This is what I have so far and please suggest or recommend additional sites to visit.
First day - Alexandria Old Town, Tours By Foot (Memorials & Moonlight (National Mall) 8:30pm)
Second day - Free Tours By Foot at 1:30pm to 3:30pm (Capitol Hill & Library of Congress) And probably visit Georgetown for dinner
Third day - Free Tours By Foot (DC all in one at 9am - 1pm), Lincoln Assassination at 7pm.
Please recommend restaurants/foodtrucks for breakfast, brunch/lunch and dinner near the sites and areas where people hang out (nightlife).
How hard and expensive to find parking during daytime when I visit the sites above in DC? And where?
This is what we plan so far for NYC but I'd like to add more but not overplanned. Please suggest and recommend.
Does it save more to buy the 7-day MetroCard or just pay-per-ride? Is it safe to walk at night (not late) especially around Prospect Park area? Please recommend restaurants and foodtrucks near the sites and areas that people hang out and dine outside (nightlife).
Day 1 - Arrived in Manhanttan by bus by noon 1pm. We'll stay by Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
Day 2 - Free Tours by Foot (911 Memorial and Brooklyn Bridge Night Tour at 7:30pm to 9:30pm)
Day 3 - Statue Liberty with Pedestal at 12pm

Day 5 - my flight is at 7:30am from JFK. Is there any pick-up service to/from airports? Or just public transportation and uber?
Thank you so much!
