Dining and Attractions

On-campus restaurants

There are several cafes and fast-food restaurants on the campus of the University of Maryland itself. The University maintains a list here. Particularly good are the Maryland Food Collective (a campus-based co-op with an excellent sandwich bar), the Dairy (ice cream and deli), and Adele's (a moderately priced "sit-down" restaurant in the student union).

D.C. Restaurants and Attractions

There are many, many excellent restaurants in Washington DC, most within a 20-30 minute drive of campus. There are too many to list here but the Washington Post and the local magazine, The Washingtonian both maintain lists of some of the best.

You can make reservations for many restaurants online at opentable.com and purchase significantly discounted gift certificates at restaurant.com.

If you are interested in checking out the many tourist attractions in the area, TheDistrict.com offers an excellent guide as does the official Visitors' Guide. Aside from Metro, the DC Circulator is a good and cheap way to get around most downtown sites.
