BestBus leaving New York
Established in 1933, Martin's Tavern is one of Washington DC’s most historic family-owned enterprises. For 80 years, Martin’s Tavern has been a renowned fixture in the mid-Atlantic and a must-visit establishment in historic Georgetown. In the late 1890's, William S. Martin traveled from Galway, Ireland to America. Forty years later, he and his son, William G. Martin, the current Billy's grandfather, opened Martin’s Tavern on the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and N Street NW which is run today by our friend, William A. Martin Jr. You can call him Billy! From sitting Presidents and media icons, to city residents and worldly travelers, Martin’s Tavern is a welcoming home to the many who have long embraced its warm atmosphere. Its quintessentially classic American fare has delighted discriminating palates for decades from the Oakwood Atlantic Smoked Salmon to the Filet Mignon to whatever your little heart desires from the convincing menu. Every President from Truman to George W. Bush has happily dined at Martin's Tavern, and you can see the delicious culinary choices preferred by each in our review: Martin's Tavern is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know:
The President’s favorite booths, The Proposal Booth of Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Mickey Mantle in The Dugout Room, George W. Bush and family at Table 12 are just a few of the iconic stories. Fourth generation owner Billy Martin, Jr. continues the tradition of Washington’s oldest family owned restaurant and Georgetown landmark.

Sadly, no one alive today lives in the golden age of travel...unless you maybe have your own plane and pilot. We certainly are not there yet! In the age of terrorism we live in with long airplane waits, BestBus continues to be the best way to get to Washington, D.C. from New York! It is an amazing smaller, more exclusive brand of travel that we have worked with for many years, expertly run by our friend Richard Green.
BestBus was last featured in the summer of 2015:
Previously, it was known as DC2NY so if you know that, you should know the only change was the name.
Avi Cohen consistently does a fantastic job welcoming guests and certainly has better business and personable skills than anyone else we've seen with a bus line. This is not just any bus.
It is a pleasure to see his smiling face each time we board, and they give each passenger a bottle of water and we like how each seat has its own garbage bag: this brand is into clean (although they cannot control the behavior of each passenger, they certainly do their best for cleanliness). There is always a vote as to whether there's a stop and if there is a movie; we like how most people on the bus do not like to stop either and many (not all) like peace and quiet a lot, like us. But, you should know it is a democracy.
There is wifi on the bus, and they are thoughtful to offer each guest chocolate.
BestBus is an upscale, civilized bus and our experiences have been very good;
BestBus is absolutely the way to go!!!
