Ben’s Chili Bowl

Looking for some of the Best Cheap Eats in DC? Why not try Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street?

Place your order: 1 hot dog with chili cheese fries please! Our guest at our Washington dc inn dupont circle went to Ben’s (as the locals call it), today and  they told me, the line bens chili bowl dc was extremely long and resulted in a 30 minute wait, but every trip to Ben’s is worth the wait. Long lines are to be expected at this dc famous restaurant. Some The list of regulars, both past and present, is a who’s who of well known figures. This includes the likes of Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and Bill Cosby (who is the only one who can eat for free), and since President Obama’s visit, the place is always busy.

Ben’s Chili Bowl is more than a restaurant, is like a “museum” with a diner decor which is completed with signed celebrity head shots on the wall, it is a place with a lot of history, (open since 1958).

So what are you waiting for? Ben’s Chili Bowl is one place you have to visit during your stay in DC !

The Gaylord National Hotel

The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center is one of the largest hotel and convention center of the North East Coast located in National Harbor, Maryland and owned by Gaylord Hotels, a division of Gaylord Entertainment Company.

The hotel is situated along the shores of the Potomac River, downriver from Washington, DC, and across the river from Alexandria, Virginia which is about 12 miles from our Washington DC B&B.

For many of our guests who attend conferences or events at the Gaylord National, the easiest and the fastest way to go over there will be to take a cab from our DC Guest House. It will take you approximately30 minutes and will cost you around $35/one way.

You can also ride the metro but it will take you an hour and half to get to the Gaylord National Hotel: you will need to go to U street metro station and then take the green line towards Branch Ave. From there you will need to get a cab. Overall it will cost you around $15.
