What would help me tailor this for you:

• Do you want a quick 1-day plan focusing on a specific neighborhood (e.g., downtown, the east end, or the waterfront)?
• Are you looking for high-profile landmarks, or offbeat/hidden spaces?
• Any accessibility needs or time constraints (e.g., you only have Saturday or Sunday, or you need parking/near‑metro access)?

I'll assemble a concise, site-driven plan with a suggested route and time blocks once you share your preferences.
