The Diner, Adams Morgan, Washington DC

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Jonathan V

Whether you are looking for a late night snack or for a delicious breakfast, The Diner in Adams Morgan offers a variety of things to eat and this local favorite spot is open 24 hours a day! The Diner offers filling fare for even the frugal man’s budget! The Breakfast menu includes ”adult milkshakes” in flavors inspired by favorites like “Good Humor’s creamsicle” bar, with a grown-up twist. If you enjoy a Croque Madame, then you’ll love the “Croque and Dagger”: two eggs over easy on French bread, with your choice of bacon or ham drowned in creamy béchamel sauce and Gruyere cheese. The “Black and Blue Burger” is a personal favorite: an all-beef burger blackened with Cajun seasonings, topped with blue cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion on a toasted potato bun. Also, don’t forget dessert. The “Wild Berry Pie” is delicious…

The Diner is located in the heart of Adams Morgan at 2453 18th Street NW, just past the intersection of Columbia Road and 18th Street just 5 minute walking distance from our Dupont Circle B&B. You should expect to spend $10+ for a meal here.

Global Entry Card

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Jonathan V

You don’t want to waste your time while entering the USA with the long line? Here is the tip: the Global entry card!

What is the Global entry?

Global Entry is a program being piloted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection that allows pre-approved, low-risk travelers to receive expedited clearance upon arrival into the United States. Those travelers will be able to enter the United States by using automated kiosks located at select airports.

To enroll in Global Entry, applicants must first file an application with Customs and Border Protection, and then submit to an interview and background check and it will cost $100 for the application. During the interview, the applicant’s fingerprints are captured and a digital photo is taken. Also ”training” is given to the applicants on how to use the automated kiosk. Then, when your application is approved, you will be able to use the Global Entry kiosk at any participating airport for duration of 5 years.

How does it work and who is eligible?

Once you are at the “kiosk”, you must present your Passport or permanent residency card and submit your fingerprints to establish identity. Then you will have to complete a computerized Customs Declaration, and you will be receive a receipt instructing you to either proceed to baggage claim, or to a normal inspection booth for a normal interview.

According to the Global Entry website, “Global Entry is open to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and citizens of certain other countries.
