This place has decent meat, rib steak, shawarma, etc... and is about 15 min from DC. Max's menu: http://www.theshalomgroup.com/maxs-cafe-and-catering/cafe-menu.html

Think of it as the difference between eating out in the city and eating out in Brooklyn or Queens.

If you're heading out to the suburbs, there's also Moti's Grill.

ETA: Thanks Emkay, fixed it in the link.

Yup, Charbar is waiter service. I've never actually been to Max's, I was thinking of Moti's, which I posted once I realized.

Charbar wasn't cheap, but it wasn't outrageous either.

true. Max's menu includes rib steak. So, would you recommend Moti's Grill if he's visiting near Washington DC?
It's probably close enough and they serve great meat meals. We really liked their green beens and garlicky/buttery smashed potatoes, too.

Moti's Grill has waiters and perhaps a more upscale menu. Been busy when I've gone. It's in Rockville, so not near Baltimore. Closer to Silver Spring and still pretty close to DC. Had an excellent steak there, too.... Would recommend for tourists. Plus Moti's Market is right next door/attached -- they sell quality Belgian California Gourmet chocolate chips.
They have a wide selection of fresh Moti's salads, breads, dried fruits and nuts, many types of meats; a good one-stop shop grocery store.

Park Hyatt DC is the highest at level 5.

I've stayed at the PH and Hyatt Regency, PH is nicer (I used my free nights there then moved to the Regency) but the Regency is more centrally located for most DC attractions. However Char Bar is just a few blocks from the PH. I dont' know anything about the Grand Hyatt.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency. Great location for attractions, not so much for minyan/food (we went chol hamoed pesach, so food wasn't a concern and since I'd be going to minyan on my own vs. travel to attractions would be with kid it made more sense to stay there). We paid $125/night and used a DSU. Rooms were OK, definitely not a luxury hotel.

$125/night is pretty good, I stayed with points and it was 12k/night but the cash rate of the rooms where over $300. I tried to get an upgrade (I was on a diamond trial) but the place was booked. They had several conferences at the time. I wasn't impressed with the room, but I wasn't disappointed. I was coming from a suite at the PH so it was obviously a step down. I guess (as it usually does) it depends on what you're doing in DC and what your priorities are.

skyguy918 · « **Reply #419 on:** July 27, 2015, 11:22:25 AM »

Yeah, PHDC is a relatively short walk to minyan, food and the metro - but not to the attractions.

One other option to look into is biking to get around. There are bike racks all over and places that will rent you ask the necessary equipment. Haven't done it yet, but last time we were there (in the winter) we were thinking it'd be a great idea in nicer weather.
