oh please. its not that bad. other than all those colored folk.  you guys wouldnt make it a week in Baltimore! [/b]
LOLOLOL. This is so true! The part about Baltimore. And a lot of them aren't as friendly in Baltimore as they are in DC. There's a lot of hatred and aggression in Baltimore. A lot more racism too, and it goes all ways. Very sad, but true.
 
 I agree that the Ramada and the other hotels on NY are probably the closest (that I know of) to RFK. However, I don't know if I'd want to stay in one of those alone being a female. Wouldn't mind so much with other people or as a male. It's just sketchy enough of an area to warrant a little caution. Although, odds are, the worst thing that would probably happen is that I'd probably be propostioned a lot.
 
 I use to love watching the hookers up and down NY Ave and their wild outfits but I haven't seen that many in a good while. The Vice squad must have sort of cleaned up the area.
 
 BTW, there are plenty of cabs there. Tons of them!
 
 Your best bet is to find someone to share the room with who can off-set your expenses. I would count on at least a good hundred for a room anywhere nowadays.

ha, from there, the easiest way to get to rfk is by cab.  otherwise, you're walking a few miles to rfk, or walking to capitol south for the blue/orange line (20 minute walk or so).

just take the metro back from rfk, 1000's other ppl are its safe.  you can even get through the gates for free, just follow another person, its to crowded to get caught.

Or, a lot of the buses that go by the metro stop right there at RFK take you to Union Station.  I did that one year because getting on the metro was impossible.  Was great -- I coulda taken the red line, but wimped out and went with a taxi...   ;)

That would be the D6 bus, which has a horrible schedule on the weekends but will get you there nevertheless.  
 
 I would actually recommend the 12-block walk to the Eastern Market/Barracks Row area watering holes.  Marty's has a great patio and a killer (hah!) veggie burger.  Let the crowd pass you by and spend your bucks in my hood!

The 96 also goes by Union Station on its way to the Stadium Armory Metro station.
