This is a block from the Verizon Center. There are some pay lots in the area, but your best bet is to take Metro to Gallery Place. Get out at 7th and Hth St. The restaurant is next to the H St exit on 7th St. This is in the heart of China town.
Address: 781 7th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001, USA
Phone: (202) 393-2929
You can also walk 3 or 4 blocks over from Metro Center train station.
I boarded the yellow line at this station (Gallery Place) last night and the place was packed on Friday night and lots of police and heavy traffic. Also people in hand cuffs for DUI.
You might consider parking in say Dupont Circle and taking red line down to Metro Center - but then you have the meter issue, unless you can get a residental parking space. Another option would be to park in Virginia and take the Orange Line down.

If you are taking the metro and parking at a metro station, be aware that most require a Smart Trip card to pay for the parking. A few (e.g. West Falls Church) allow the use of a credit card.

The Hillwood Museum Tour/Luncheon was very enjoyable and very well organized as has been the norm at this DO. Quite impressive.
We even had "waterboys" who circulated among the FT'ers from time to time offering some very welcome H2O.
Looking forward to tonight's dinner,

So it looks like I'm going to make it back home to DCA earlier than expected. I know I'm not registered and everything is 'sold out' but would it be inappropriate to drop in on brunch to say hello, even if no seats available to stay/join?

Beware DC, I arrived!
I'm here! It looks like I could escape to the ash cloud by hours, as BCN was closed at 10 AM...
Checked in at the hotel, goodie bag in place, including a special kit for the longhaul showered, shaved, and ready to go!
See you all @ Zengo!

Good luck to the Flyertalkers (sharon, aaron, yana, jen, trent and gene - hope I got you all) who will be walking with Team United on Sunday AM in support of the fight against cancer. You all have done us proud and made a huge contribution to such an important cause. Enjoy the beautiful but chilly morning!
