He did not talk about how filthy and smelly metro stations are. He did not talk about how filthy the whole city is in general. He is did not talk about how the city (downtown) lacks basic tourist services like supermarkets and most important a variety of cost effective restaurants. He did not say that the city had been residentially taken over by scary African Americans. He did not say that you get many many crazy people riding the metro siting beside you.
One thing I noticed immediately when I went to dc this past weekend for a day was that because most of the buildings are so low compared to nyc(a city that I'm right next to) is that you can see the sky so much more and it makes going on walks more enjoyable to see open sky with landmarks sprinkled in the distance
I am a DC Native. Live in MD. Try downtown Bethesda. Tons of great restaurants. Also Tysons Corner in Virginia has great shopping with two major malls. On Metro's Silver Line.
The things you mentioned are great but from a tourists perspective they are miles apart. Commuting by metro to these places takes forever, taking an uber or taxi will cost a fortune.
This video and your many other travel videos have been such a great help to my recent trip around the east coast. Thank you so much, sir. Keep the content going!
If you're watching this in 2019, you MUST go to The Newseum THIS year! It's closing at the end of 2019 because the building was sold, and there are no certain plans to move it to another building. So it might not be back in a while, or ever. Of all the things in DC, it was my absolute favorite. Also, the Crystal City area is great place to stay. Not too far, cheaper, there's even some great places to eat and a Target not too far away. Also, there is a Legal Sea Foods in Crystal City!
Good tips. Even when the Washington Monument isn't closed, the observation tower at the Old Post Office is one of the best views of the city. Completely free!
Great video. I lived in the NOVA area near The District for many years. Great advice and you really hit the nail on the head. Food changes constantly though (restaurants open and close here on a monthly basis) so check Google and make website checks. Uber isn't too bad here and the Metro really is the key to getting around if you are able. Awesome video. Have fun DC travelers!
I am a subscriber and love your videos. A friend of mine and I went to Washington D.C. twice (July 30-August 2, 2010 for a long weekend, and May 5-6, 2012 overnight) to see the Philadelphia Phillies @ Washington Nationals in Nationals Park. We rode the Amtrak Northeast Regional two hours from Philadelphia and stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites on Baltimore Avenue in College Park, MD, and walked down Calvert St to the Metro station to get to the ballpark..
This video is super helpful! I also made a travel guide where I visited 50+ SITES in a MERE 4 days. It was exhausting but I now know what is the best thing to do! Especially if you are traveling ALONE!
Thx so much for your informative video ... I‘ll be going in the end of June 2019 to Washington D.C. for 5 days and totally looking forward to see the places that you‘ve mentioned! 👍🏻
Be prepared for the real picture! Filthy filthy metro stations, a filthy city garbage in every corner, a homeless guy in every corner. Long expensive commutes everywhere. Museums are a waste of time, trust me go to Disneyland instead this place is shit
A good place for Italian Food is the Dupont Italian Kitchen, corner of "R" and 17th St NW. We have stayed at what used to be a Best Western on Fairfax Dr in Rosslyn, VA. along US 50. Free parking when it was a Best Western. Hotel had both traditional style exterior access rooms and a newer building with underground parking that contained interior access rooms. Just a few blocks from the Rosslyn Metro Station. We have also stayed at a Days Inn in the 4400 block of Connecticut Avenue NW. Small rooms, but clean. Located just a couple of blocks north of the Red Line Van Ness/UDC Metro Station. Thanks Chris for another great video.
Great video like always. Chris, you have been very helpful. I and my wife always plan our trips with the help of your videos. Thank you very much for your work. Love from Indians in China :)
Hello, this is my first video to watch of yours and I loved it. We have just sold our home and we’re about to full-time RV as we travel around the country and find ways to serve and encourage people. We will be in the DC area in a couple of months and this video was very very helpful. We have subscribed and look forward to watching more. Thank you. PS. Our channel also makes travel videos but we are certainly amateurs and admire your great work👍🏽
Great tips! I definitely agree with what you said about the traffic and parking in DC. I found it much easier taking the Metro into the District than parking in the District. One thing I'll add is that from BWI, you can take the MARC train from the airport all the way to Union Station (and back). I did that for a business trip a few years ago, and it was quite convenient and not very expensive. Anyway, thank you for the video! I need to visit the area again soon as I definitely did not get to visit everything on previous visits!
+Scottman895 Travel Good tip on the MARC train from BWI to Union Station. I've never done that.. I usually end up flying in to Dulles which will have the metro soon.. so that will be nice.
I have not flown into Dulles yet as I usually fly into either Reagan or BWI. I'm glad Dulles will soon have the Metro in case I decide to fly through that airport.
I was in DC four years ago from Canada and I love it. I love all the museums and historical. This time I want to see more like the Wax, Spy , Holocaust and Native museums.
Metro is the name of the transportation system. It includes the rail system, much of it above ground, and busses. I enjoyed taking the Red line into the district and looking at the non-rush hour traffic creeping along. I got on at the Vienna stop to L'Enfant Plaza stop.
I think I’ve been to the Hyatt, but I can’t remember. It’s been 6 years since we last went to D.C., and it was a very short trip (I believe at most a school week or 5 days.)
@@YellowProductions: A superb and highly useful presentation, nonetheless, my friend. I know I gained some new insights; and I had lived in DC (Georgetown) for over a year, on a job assignment.
Another less popular, but excellent museum is the national postal museum next to Union Station, if you're into mail, the history of mail, the history of the postal service, then this museum will be fascinating to you
I would also recommend old town Alexandria and the Wharf as places to check out. Both on the waterfront but complete opposites as old town is historic and the wharf has been built up recently and has music venues, fish markets, bars/restaurants. Also the water taxi could be another cool option to get to these places( although I’ve lived here my whole life and have never taken it lol)
Hey man thank you for making this video it really helped a lot I’m going With my bf in June I am dreading the heat and humidity like you said but I can’t wait for all the tips I def want to check it out. Thank you and I appreciate this. I’m still looking for a hotel don’t want to spend too much where should I stay were early 30’s couple no kids we want a good time lively town but not college crazy town with lots of restaurants to go to and more touristy amenities ? Where should I look ? We’re not going to drive so must be close to metro??
If you want to be in "the district" you can check out some of the hotels around the Smithsonian Zoo -- There's the Wardman Park Marriott, and an Omni hotel there. They usually are cheaper because it is kind of inconvenient for business travelers, but they are just a couple blocks from a red line metro stop, and just a couple stops to central DC. I think your other option would be across the river in Arlington Virginia on the Orange Line. Take a look at hotels around the Clarendon and Courthouse metro stops -- that's kind of a fun "late twenties/early thirties" neighbrohood

I'm a D.C. native and this guy absolutely nailed 99.9 percent of everything about D.C. I agreed with almsot everything he said. Trust him, he's right.
Aww... thanks Sir Stewart!
Sir Stewart very helpful video
Sir Stewart factuals bro
He did not talk about how filthy and smelly metro stations are. He did not talk about how filthy the whole city is in general.

He did not say that the city had been residentially taken over by scary African Americans. He did not say that you get many many crazy people riding the metro siting beside you.
Cool!!
That's the craziest traffic I've ever seen! Paid a tour $90 to cart me & my wife around all day. Worth every penny
One thing I noticed immediately when I went to dc this past weekend for a day was that because most of the buildings are so low compared to nyc(a city that I'm right next to) is that you can see the sky so much more and it makes going on walks more enjoyable to see open sky with landmarks sprinkled in the distance
New York... Ugh
DC has a height limit on buildings
I am a DC Native. Live in MD. Try downtown Bethesda. Tons of great restaurants. Also Tysons Corner in Virginia has great shopping with two major malls. On Metro's Silver Line.
Thanks for the extra tips Michael!
Michael Schulman That's what I was thinking!
The things you mentioned are great but from a tourists perspective they are miles apart. Commuting by metro to these places takes forever, taking an uber or taxi will cost a fortune.

Definitely the best WDC travel tips video on CZcams ! It's fun, full of useful info and most of all you don't spoil it !!! Thank you !
Thanks Bobab13!

Thanks for the information. This was really helpful and let me tell you that you've got good energy or vibe. Thanks from a Chilean visiting DC soon.
Thank you. I am thinking of visiting the DC area and this video gave me a better idea on how to plan visit.

I liked the part when you judging Chinese food not good in China Town hahahaha! Very authentic and honest Creator! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥
I went for 3 days a year ago and I could have easily spent longer but 3 days was a great fit
Metro is the name of the transportation system. It includes the rail system, much of it above ground, and busses. I enjoyed taking the Red line into the district and looking at the non-rush hour traffic creeping along. I got on at the Vienna stop to L'Enfant Plaza stop.

I love the way you talk
Thanks Thiago
Thanks for the vid it wasn’t really what I was looking for but very informative none the less. I enjoyed it, thumbs up.
Thanks for making this video. I am looking for creative ways to grow my DC centric travel channel and I appreciate your remarks.
A great informative video, as always; albeit, I was a bit surprised that you didn’t say anything about visiting Georgetown!
Thanks Alex! I like Georgetown. Not sure why I didn't mention it here
@@YellowProductions: A superb and highly useful presentation, nonetheless, my friend. I know I gained some new insights; and I had lived in DC (Georgetown) for over a year, on a job assignment.
Nice tour guide!
Thanks AuFin!
the BEST video on the district i’ve seen
Thanks Sydney!
