During this time of transition, we are asking that students who join the in-person portion of this class provide proof of Covid vaccination. In-person meetings will take place primarily outside. Students are expected to remain masked for any indoor meeting or if students cannot maintain social distancing outdoors.
We continue to have many classes available that do not require meeting in-person. If you have any questions, please reach out to aupair@bmcc.cuny.edu.
111 Places in Washington, DC
 You are already familiar with the big monuments, memorials and museums, so come on an off-the-beaten-path virtual tour of Washington, DC, exploring lesser-known and even secret places throughout this special and unique city, which is one of only three planned capital cities in the world. Your guide on this adventure is Andrea Seiger, author of "111 Places in Washington That You Must not Miss.".
You will get to know lesser-known places and stories in some of DC’s diverse neighborhoods – Dupont Circle and Capitol Hill – and around the National Mall, memorials and monuments. Great stories and characters abound, from an heiress and her famous diamond necklace to brothers who became music legends; from a mansion with 80 secret doors to memorials to Presidents; from slave markets to the Underground Railroad; from notable women to entrepreneurs; and from the largest museum complex on earth to the glitz of the Gilded Age. Field trips for local au pairs will take place outside on Saturday and Sunday, each day in a different part of the city.
You will receive a signed copy of the book to continue your own explorations both from your sofa and in person.
