It's a dining newsgroup.  It is in no way the appropriate place to post 
this question.  There are better dc. groups for this question.

That said, because I do know the answer I'll help.

No, there isn't, generally.  Now, you said you were staying with a 
friend?  They could get you a visitor permit that would allow you to 
park in zone-restricted spaces, and then you would be ok.  Make sure 
that you read the signs carefully, especially regarding rush hour 
parking restrictions.

That's really the only way to avoid having to find a garage and pay.

Thanks, Sarah, and again my apologies...the only other DC newsgroup I
could find that wasn't devoted to swingers or specific DC employers,
churches, etc. was dc.general, hence my apparently misguided attempt to
ask for help on your newsgroup. Thanks again.

You say "hence" like that makes sense. Dc.general would have been fine. It's not
just for military generals any more.

Then there is dc.driving -- which would seem to be perfect, unless you argue
that "driving" by definition does not include "stopping" or "parking" -- or even
dc.housing, which would seem to be more appropriate than dc-dining.

Ah, yes, I see now -- "aol.com". My bad.

I actually thought it was a step in the right direction just to have some 
action on this newsgroup, even if the post was somewhat off topic. We should 
be so lucky as to have lots of dining posts to sift through-- this is all 
we've got :)

Given the concentration of restaurants in the areas mentioned in the 
original post, it would seem conceivable to me that dc diners might offer 
some good parking advice. We could use this as an opportunity to mention 
some restaurant recommendations as well-- for example, I had an excellent 
experience at Ardeo on Connecticut a couple weeks back. And for what it's 
worth, the original post was prefaced with "sorry to intrude"..
