It's no secret that Google Maps has a lot of data on where some of your favorite places to go are. It even keeps track of where you parked your car after you complete your route.
That's why the company is pretty sure it knows exactly where D.C. residents and visitors are going to head this summer. Based on data pulled from 2016 searches, the Google Maps team has determined that the Brixton is D.C.'s hottest summer bar and the Smithsonian National Zoological Park is the District's favorite "Edutainment" summer hotspot.
