Washington DC Master Thread

Looking for recommendation of a decent but inexpensive hotel with suites. Location near a metro station to take us into DC and also not far from a shul.

You're asking for something that doesn't exist. Where are you looking to stay? In DC or in a nearby community with a shul?

Silver Spring may have something like that; not sure how close it is to DC; also start with with Godaven.
Find a hotel in the general area that you want and then check with Godaven to see how far it is from a shul or do the opposite if you already know of shul you want to stay by.

No clue how far by public transit this is to DC but here is an idea to start with with
Name: Young Israel Shomrai Emunah of Greater Washington
Address: 1132 Arcola Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20902

I'm not averse to staying in Silver Spring or other nearby community, but we'll be spending the day in DC.

I already did. I found the attractions and food list helpful.
I'm hoping someone who's already done something like this can help me.

Your best bet is to probably to stay at a hotel in Silver Spring, as that's where most of the shuls and kosher food is. There aren't hotels any within walking distance of the Jewish community but there are a couple within a 10 min drive. You can easily park and take the metro into DC from right nearby as well.

True, I forgot about the shul in Woodside.

We will be staying  in central d.c. Friday and Shabbat.  Which restaurant do you recommend that has delivery to hotels to get food for over shabbat.  How late can you order on Friday?

There's only one real restaurant in DC, Char Bar and they don't really do Shabbos food. You'd have to order from one of the caterers/grocery stores in Silver Spring most likely.

Char Bar absolutely does do Shabbat Takeaway. Call them.

Cool. Their menu is very much not Shabbos food so I never would have guessed. Definitely the best option then, their food is pretty good.
