A low-cost stay on the east end of downtown, Howard Johnson Inn is a casual 2-star hotel located right off Highway 50. Offering a ten-minute walk from the nearest Metrorail Red stop and home to relaxed rooms with living room spaces, the area is great for business travelers heading to DC alone or families looking to stay away from downtown’s noise. Get unique perspectives everywhere you go by making sure your transportation’s squared away, whether you’re in need of a quick taxi ride to a special event or a simple drop off to Reagan Airport.
Keep track of all the region’s eats by following your nose, whether it guides you to a quiet family-friendly joint or an elegant downtown restaurant. Stay along New York Avenue for the most obvious eats, staying close to your hotel by driving through East 5th Street’s tasty choices ranging from New American at Bidwell to fresh produce offered by Union Market Grocery. For something at the heart of D.C.’s nightlife, head to Brookland’s Finest Bar and Kitchen, home to 12th Street comfort food and a rustic-modern happy hour.
Make the most of what the region has to offer by looking forward to even more unique perspectives, whether you’re looking forward to dinner at the heart of Mount Vernon’s historic neighborhood or a tour through countless museums within The National Mall. Keep things simple by heading south toward H Street Corridor, home to a row of trendy shops and relaxed eateries perfect for getting the full DC experience without the big crowds. Delve into the sprawling forests of the northeast side for a look at the region’s natural charm, something easy to feel under the shade of countless species at The United States National Arboretum.
