A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

"A great read. . . . Lively and unabashedly opinionated." –New York Post budgettravel redefined I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you not only how to spend less in Washington, D.C., but how to see it in a more authentic way, without sacrificing comfort for savings. Cozy, restful accommodations: Instead of spending $300 a night in a chain hotel, bed down in a Victorian–era inn for $69 at the Kalorama Guest House (p. 30) or rent a room in the home of a local for as little as $70 a night with breakfast (p. 27). Food finds: I′ll take you to the best of the city′s exotic ethnic restaurants, plus D.C.′s most historic and most affordable eateries. Sights and attractions: Find opinionated advice on how to make the most of your time, in–depth coverage of Washington′s iconic sights, plus hidden gems that most visitors miss. Insider′s D.C.: Get a behind–the–scenes look at one of the world′s most influential news organizations (p. 161), attend a social event at a foreign embassy (p. 166), or overhear juicy political gossip at the city′s best happy hours (p. 165). Happy Travels, Pauline Frommer Winner of Best Guidebook, North American Travel Journalists Association
