Going to DC tomorrow for four days- staying at the Mayflower.

Any TUG tips for nice restaurants for my wife and I? First time there- always driven through it.

Happy Holidays!

There's a few great deals on Groupon right now... Also travel zoo. There are also Groupon discount codes that are still active. Several nice eateries in there.

I usually stay in the Crystal City area. Lots of nice places there handy to the Metro Stop. Two of my favorites are Legal Sea Foods and Ruth's Chris which overlooks Reagan National Airport.

Depending on your palate and pocketbook - Iron Gate (Greek/Italian), Little Serow (Asian/Thai) Equinox, Vidalia, Rasika West End (Indian( Obelisk (Italian). All reasonably near Dupont Circle.

I used to go to Da Dominico in Tyson's corner. Great Italian restaurant with a lot on ambience.

Sam and Harry's was also nice and a bit pricey. Great Scotch list.

Another good one is Founding Farmers. It is on Pennsylvania near 19th.

Go to tripadvisor and look there. You are staying in an area near a lot of restaurants. You can find a lot of really great food in DC. You need to define for yourself what you think you want. I personally like the area near the Verizon Center and China Town. Lots of exceptional choices there and many are reasonably priced. I like Jaleo for Tapas. Also, you may want to head north up to the U Street corridor for some trendy spots, soul food or Ben's Chile Bowl. Georgetown is fun, but most places are overpriced. Adams Morgan is another neat area with a lot of good choices. Old Ebbit Grill is part of the Clyde's restaurant group. It's fun, but there are lots of better choices. Go for lunch or brunch as opposed to dinner or just go for a cocktail and some oysters.

Another area easy to get to via metro is Bethesda. Terrific concentration of restaurants there.
