You can't walk into the city from Crystal City. It's on the other side of the Potomac. You can take the Metro though. Pretty convenient and always used to be safe...who knows now though. But if I had my druthers I'd stay in Crystal City. Maybe use Uber or Lyft.
For those of We The People planning to be in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, for the congressional certification of the electoral vote, please consider having a meal and/or refreshments at this establishment:

One of the owners and I have been life-long friends, as were his dad and my dad.
Crystal City - isn’t that where the bonus marchers were camped before the army led by MacArthur, Eisenhower, and Patton burned them out?
