Private Museum Experiences. Social Gatherings.

Washington, DC Itineraries.

Between us, we know Washington from two different perspectives: one shaped by more than 30 years working in its museums, galleries, and historic houses, and the other by years of exploring the city with fresh eyes.

We also know that the best cultural experience isn't necessarily the one with the most objects or the longest list of facts.

It's the one that gives you something worth looking at—and someone interesting to talk about it with.

That's the thinking behind P.S. Nest.

Whether you're visiting Washington, looking for something new to do in your own city, hoping to meet people, or hosting family from out of town, we'll help you figure out where to go, what to see, and how to make the day work.

Find Your Way In

Maybe you're looking for a reason to finally visit that museum. Maybe you want to meet people without having to join another networking group. Maybe your family is coming to town and you need someone to figure out what everyone will enjoy.

Or maybe you just want a good reason to get out of the house.

Whatever brings you here, there's a place to start.

Give Them a Day They’ll Remember

  • My mom had the best time exploring DC with you while I was working. It was such a relief to know that she was out and about after the snowstorm enjoying museums across the city in your capable hands.

    Monica

  • I had no idea all these museums and special experiences were moments away from my doorstep. You showed me a side of DC I never knew existed.

    Beverly

  • Thank you for making yesterday's Mahjong class such a success! Within hours, the members were already asking "When is our next class?!"

    Life Enrichment Director, The Fitzgerald of Palisades

  • I can't believe I didn't know this museum was here! I'm already planning to come back in a different season and see the changes to the landscape.

  • This exhibition of State Fairs really took me back to my childhood and I loved taking a lunch break at the Old Ebbitt Grill. I felt like a true DC local during my visit. You really chose a museum that spoke to me.

P.S. Nest Pick

After more than 30 years working in Washington’s museums, galleries, and historic houses, Suzi Guardia has developed a pretty good sense of where to look, what to notice, and which places are worth making time for.

P.S. Nest Picks is where I share some of those discoveries: the museums, historic houses, gardens, galleries, and unexpected corners of Washington that I think are worth knowing about—and, more importantly, worth going to.

No exhaustive lists. No tourist checklist.

Just a place worth knowing, a reason to go, something worth noticing.
