Opened in 1856, Washington's oldest bar and restaurant. First place to stay open when Congress was out of session. Since 1970, because of its popularity Old Ebbitt Grill has been frequented by numerous politicians, some known for scandals and maneuvering. It has also been the site of parties hosted by famous actors and singers. For many years, it has been the restaurant with one of the highest amount of sales in the United States. Great seafood!

Sightseeing

Nice picnic area off the GW Parkway just before heading into DC. It can be a staging point to meet friends, jump on bike/running trails and watch airplanes take off and land from DCA airport

旅行者へのアドバイス

交通アクセス

Parking, Driving and Getting Around

If you are driving, you are fine parking on the center of Ancell Street all day. The city has a 72 hour rule about getting towed. If you drive to Old Town, the closer you park to King street, the better a chance you have to pay for street parking. If you park a few blocks away there is just time limited parking. But they do enforce the time limits; so be aware of the time when you park. If you are going into DC, iI highly suggest taking the metro or an Uber/Lyft/taxi. If you can navigate the metro buses and trains, that's the cheapest and quickest way to get around during rush hour.
