The Diner, Adams Morgan, Washington DC

March 23, 2012 – 12:17 am

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.

Washington DC Restaurants

Black Finn Restaurant, Washington DC

March 14, 2012 – 1:55 am

If you are visiting DC and doing some tourist sightseeing, the White House must definitely be on your agenda. A great place to stop in for a bite to eat is the Black Finn Restaurant & Saloon. I personally love this restaurant for the hospitality, food and reasonable pricing they provide. “The Heater” is an amazing burger made to your liking and comes with a side of fries.

If you are visiting DC, you have to stop in and experience the finest in Washington DC Dinning at this Saloon Restaurant on “I” street, located only a block and a half from the White House.

Washington DC Public Transportation

BWI to Union Station on the Amtrak!

March 1, 2012 – 1:35 am

Just last week I booked a very inexpensive flight from Baltimore, MD (BWI) to Tucson, AZ (TUS) for only $214 on Delta Airlines! Great deals are abundant when traveling through BWI but getting there can be a rough journey. A few weeks ago I posted a public transportation route on the Metro (Green Line) from Green Belt to BWI on the B30 bus line. I found a route that was actually much faster. At only 21 minutes travel time, the Amtrak offers one-way tickets from Union Station to BWI for only $14.

Book your reservation online at the Amtrak website to check availability. The reason I decided on the Amtrak was because my flight time was outside the normal operating hours of the B30 bus route. The Amtrak has one stop between BWI and Union Station at (Red line, few minutes away from our DC Inn) the New Carrollton Metro Station.

Enjoy and Safe Travels!
