I only know from Virginia.  Mark's Duck House, in the Willston Center, on
Arlington Blvd. and Patrick Henry has excellent duck.  I haven't tried the
Peking duck, but we eat there often and everything I've eaten has been
excellent.  The Peking Duck in the Culmore Center on Rte. 7 and Carlin has
a great reputation -- I think undeserved.  Then there's Duck Chang on John
Marr.  We haven't eaten there in several years (it's not as convenient as
Mark's), but they specialize in Peking Duck and, at least way back when, it
quite good.  No one can beat it for the entertainment value -- the duck is
wheeled out, followed by a chef with a cleaver.  There's a bit of hocus
pocus with the knife and the duck is sliced clean.  Amazing.  Another
oddity about the place is that the owner had his name legally changed to
"Duck" -- I don't know what it was originally.(Similar to the spice shop
owner in New York -- a Hungarian named Weiss, who had his name changed to
Paprikash).

Anyway, try Virginia.  The natives are friendly.
