Cool places for teens to hang out in washington dc?

I am moving to DC in a few months from England and want to make friends before having to start my senior year of highschool.
Please help, it's going to be hard to leave all my friends here. I want to know a place that has guys and girls (I am a 17 year old girl!)
Like a mall, or cinema or what do American teens do??
Thanks :)

Georgetown is the coolest district in DC. Nothing else comes close.

I don't know , I'm from Alabama.

Alot of cool places, the space and air museam is a great place to learn about all the great things americans have done *cough* first on the moon *cough* *cough*, lol but if your looking for a place to chill DC has some great malls you can get to by the subway. i went there last year and went to a mall that had 5 levels, (the whole bottom level was the food court xD), try the mall. but dont just go to DC to hang out. im just as chill as any1 (im not a nerd) and i loved the museams <--- or how ever you spell it ^^. Good luck. oh and dont go out side of DC after like 10pm, it gets really dangerous out side the city.

The Black Cat is an all ages music venue in NW. It has a lot of really good up and coming bands. Hope this helps! Good luck with the move!

Trust me, if you have an English accent and you're coming to America, talking to any girl will give you sexy points.
