My friend's step daughter is coming to visit us sometime this month. She is from the middle east, has done some sort of college program in California, and is here in DC doing an internship. She has asked to meet up while she is on this coast.
I have never met her, but would like to plan an activity that she would enjoy. However, I don't really know what a 23 year old might like to do with the two old friends (we are in our 50s and 60s) of her step mom. Without knowing her, all I can think of is dinner. And that she might enjoy a home cooked dinner more than restaurants? |

| Take her to see the Yayoi Kusama rooms at the Hirshhorn, walk by the White House, stop at Off the Record and have dinner at Hamilton's / Old Ebbit |

| I’d do a driving tour of the area so you can point out the different places you enjoy. End with a museum she shows interest in along the way and then dinner. |

If you have her contact number I would just ask her. She might be very well interested in dinner. At 23 you really don't have to plan activities like you would if they were younger. |

This. Love Yayoi! I'd also consider walking the Chesapeake Canal & stop for coffee in Georgetown. either here https://www.dogtaginc.org/ or here https://www.opentable.com/r/laduree-dc-washington |

| Go to Annapolis, walk around and have a meal there. Go to a Glenstone Museum. Rent bikes and ride the Capital Crescent Trail to Georgetown. |

This and a nice meal at a restaurant depending on what kind of food she likes. |

I vote for Annapolis, Baltimore, or just getting out of the city. If she’s living in DC for the internship then she’s likely doing the downtown area sites on her own. Going somewhere she can’t get to on her own is nice. But I also think just having a casual meal at home is fine too!! |

These responses are over the top. You don't know her and she doesn't know you. There's a huge age difference beteeen the 2 of you and presumably differing ideas on "fun" meet-up.
Does a 23 yr intern really want to spend an entire day walking around Annapolis with her mom's friend??? Awkward. Boring. Just meet up for a place for dinner near her apartment (so she doesn't have to drive far to your house) and be done with it. You won't have too much to talk about outside of mutual things like her mom/your friend, chit-chat about the internship, and the like. Dinner is enough time for that. |

| If she’s already in DC, presumably she doesn’t need someone to take her to see the sites. Seems like this came about bc her mom asked her to meet up with you once b/c her mom is friends with you? In which case, I’d just have her to dinner or ask if there’s a DC restaurant she wants to try. |

The typical 23 year old wants to see and be seen- would nix the meal at home and take her to dinner. I also question whether this is step-mother strong-armed, seems a bit atypical unless you’re wealthy, connected or some other obvious appeal. |

She's basically a stranger, no?
Stepdaughter to your friend, never met her before, only thing in common is the mom, right? How long has the step daughter been part of your friend's life? Only recently? Since babyhood? |
