Welcome to D.C.! Best bet is to have your driver drop you off in a black Lincoln Town Car.

If you mean to park at one of the nearby metro stations (Dupont Circle, U Street or Zoo Station) you will likely have a tough time of it. The stations are underground and offer no parking. Street parking in the neighborhood is a miserable affair Friday nights, but it can be done. The signs are confusing, and once you find a legal-looking space you'll have to feed the meter until 10 p.m. (The two-hour parking limit ends at 6 p.m.) Many spaces support pay-by-phone and Parkmobile; if you are thinking of using the app you might want to set up your account and car information in advance. It's quite convenient once you have it working, and usually prevents you from getting a bogus ticket. Parking is $2 per hour, and enforcement begins again Saturday morning.

If you are thinking of parking out in the burbs and taking the train in, check the map to make sure your station has parking available. They fill up in the morning, but by late afternoon on a Friday you should be able to find a vacated space. Officially, overnight parking is only available at Greenbelt, Huntington, and Franconia-Springfield. In practice, the parking garages are not attended on the weekend and you will almost certainly be fine if you park 24 hours or less.

Good luck!
