DDF DO Planning Thread

Seven Mile Market - supposedly the largest kosher supermarket in the country.

Market Maven (formerly Seasons) - great prices for meat and chicken, also good place for shabbos food


Hotels:
Only 1 Close and decent hotel to Jewish area (but not quite walking distance) is this Hilton Doubletree

Airbnb in the frum community:
Eruv Inn
Edelweiss - Located about 15 minutes from the frum community, practically next door to Ateres Elka wedding hall

any specific hotel?
We just stayed at the Renaissance last week and got upgraded to a nice suite. You can try the Marriott, it seems nicer but doesn't have a pool (kids wanted one).

Looking to go away for 1 night near/in Baltimore and surrounding area. Any ideas for a nice spot?

Sagamore Pendry is also nice. If surrounding area includes DC area then the Ritz in Tysons Corner usually has good points redemption rates (~30-40k a night).

Stayed here once with my wife. Not as luxurious as Four Seasons, but a very nice and new place. The hotel is only a couple of years old. It is built right next to a lake in a nice quiet area. There is a nice walking path around the lake and a small park there. Was about a 20 min drive to the frum community.

Four Seasons and Sagamore Pendry are Fine Hotels and qualify for the $200 Amex plat credit if you have it

DC is definitely an option. Is this Ritz my best bet there?

Its not necessarily the nicest but when I had a 35k voucher expiring it was the nicest brand for the cheapest price (the one in Tysons Corner) that I was able to find in the area.
