You get a cheaper room rate, you don't have to pay as much for parking. It's kind of a win win all together. One of my favorites in Crystal City is the Crystal Gateway Marriott. And I've got a video review of that. You can find a link to it in the description below as well. If you're staying in The District and you like the high end hotels, my favorites are the Park Hyatt, Washington DC. One of my favorite Park Hyatts. And my second favorite is the Mayflower Hotel. Which is Marriott affiliated as a Renaissance. That one really close to DuPont Circle. So that's a pretty neat area to stay.
So if you want to know what the best area of DC to stay for a tourist is, I think DuPont Circle's pretty cool because there's a lot of restaurants and things like that around there. There are hotels just to the south of the Smithsonians and the Mall but sometimes those hotels, they're really designed for Government business so they're close to Government office buildings, and really far from anything else, like food or 24 hour drug stores, et cetera, et cetera. So try to stay on the north side of the National Mall if you are staying in The District. There's just more liveliness and tourist amenities in that direction. Alright, the ninth thing to know about DC is about food. I always have this subject in all of my Things to Know videos, and of course we're going to talk about it for DC. So what do you need to know about food in The District. Well, this place that I'm standing which is where most tourists go, The National Mall, has almost zero food. There's maybe some hot dog trucks and some food trucks that show up. The Air and Space Museum has a Mcdonalds. Actually if you are looking for food, I think one of the best things to eat on the National Mall, it's in the National Museum of the Native American. They have a pretty good cafeteria that has a lot of Native American eats. But the other good places, so that's a little expensive because that's in a Smithsonian, there are places that are a little bit cheaper just to the south of the National Mall, there's a place called L'Enfant Plaza. It's a big Metro stop. There's a lot of good lunch options there. Another great place for lunch options is Union Station, just to the side of the Capitol Building. There's a huge food court in Union Station. If you're looking for dinner type things the area around Chinatown is pretty good. DuPont Circle as well. But I will say if you're looking for Chinese food, avoid Chinatown. The Chinese food in Chinatown it is not good. I like to consider myself a connoisseur of Chinese food and when I first came to DC and I didn't know any better I ate at those Chinese restaurants. They're not good. Don't eat there. If you are looking for really good Chinese food though, and you're staying in Virginia, or you have a car, so you can head out there, there's a place in Falls Church called the Peking Gourmet Inn. It is George Bush's favorite Chines restaurant and they specialize in Peking Duck. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is the best Peking Duck I have had in the United States of America. It is really that good. And I like to head out there on most trips that I'm out here in Washington DC. Provided I'm out here with at least somebody else. If I'm by myself then I seem like a huge glutton eating a Peking Duck all to myself. If you're getting there for dinner, five or six you'll be good, just walk it in.
