Looking for some advice about the Shorttrip metro card. I will be staying at the Hyatt Reston and traveling to D.C. For sight seeing, traveling in morning, not sure if rush hour time. Can I use the Short Trip metro card without surcharges? I am looking to buy 7 day unlimited travel pass

Jody Carlson I just looked at the Metro website (www.wmata.com/fares/purchase/passes.cfm), it says the 7-day pass is good for fare up to $3.60.

Local Music: I was asked today about local music venues in the Reston area - I'd suggest checking with the following locations that often have live music to enjoy on the weekends: Lost Rhino Brew Pub (www.lostrhino.com); Old Ox Brewery (www.oldoxbrewery.com); and Kalypso's Sports Tavern (kalypsossportstavern.com). The Reston Town Center also has many restaurants that sometime have live music as well (www.restontowncenter.com). And the city of Herndon, which is very near to Reston (a 2-3... Show more

FREE TICKET ALERT - One of the most iconic American symbols is the Washington Monument - the world's tallest free-standing stone structure, towering more than 555 feet (169 meters). We recommend pre-ordering tickets online via the US Park Service - going FAST to summer tourists. Very small $1.50 fee on the free ticket.

TICKET ALERT - One of the hottest tourist tickets in town (FREE TICKETS) is the tour of the United States Capitol Building. If you don't have a ticket you cannot do the tour.
