Also, which airport should I fly into when taking into account that I am relying on the subway and won't have a car?
Appreciate good food (not too fancy) recommendations. Thank you.
The W is perfectly located for touristy stuff and has a very nice, albeit eye-wateringly expensive, rooftop bar. DCA is, by far, the easiest airport for relying on Metro, as IAD is in the boonies with infrequent and time-consuming bus service. Insofar as food, DC is not a great restaurant town, but there are a handful of good choices nearby to your hotel, depending as to your preferences.
