I've been told by various folk that if you ask nicely to speak to the owner, that he'll actually let you go upstairs in the boarding house portion of the structure - I've got to do that someday! I've been dying to go upstairs for years and years!

Betty...I knew that Mrs. Surratt's boarding house is a Chinese restaurant now, but I had no idea that the upstairs is preserved and that visitors can occasionally have access to it...it would LOVE to tour it someday!

I wonder if there are ghosts......also I had NO IDEA that the Willard Hotel still stands-wow!!

Angela-

Do not leave D.C. without having some Maryland crabs, or crabcakes. I have not been to Washington since I was a child 40 years ago, but if memory serves it was the most delicious seafood imaginable!
