Forget the taxi. Crystal City has two Metro (subway) stops (Crystal City and Pentagon City). If you are flying in to Baltimore airport you can get to Crystal City by train and Metro. Crystal City is only one Metro stop away from Reagan National Airport.

You can get to most of the places in DC that you'll want to go to by Metro. It is pretty clean and safe.

[They try so hard to keep it clean that the Metro cops have been know to haul off a 13-year-old girl in handcuffs because she was eating "American" fries, and recently arrested a woman for stuffing a candy bar in her mouth on the escalator.]

Thanks. I know DC quite well. I find the metro is fine for normal scooting around, but most times I take a taxi in/out of the District. And, in this case, wearing a Tux and all, I don't relish walking from the hotel to the metro (even though access is from inside). And even though the metro will be open late, I would like a taxi for the return trip.

Perhaps I should have been more clear. . .I am getting a taxi from/to the Crystal City Gateway Marriott (my treat). . .riders welcome.
