FREE: Every evening at 6 p.m. the (2700 F St. NW) offers free lobby concerts from various musicians at the Millennium Stage. It鈥檚 the perfect way to check out the grandiose building 鈥� and even snap a selfie on the outside balcony above the Potomac River 鈥� without spending a single dime. No tickets necessary. 鈥� Jason Fraley

$1: Garlic, lemon, oil. That鈥檚 all that (1346 Florida Ave. NW) swears is in their toum garlic spread, one of seven condiments available on their excellent menu. But you鈥檒l be convinced there鈥檚 something addictive in the mix and, at $1 per serving, you鈥檒l be happy to go back for thirds. 鈥� Noah Frank

$1.25: A dollar and a quarter will usually get you a ride on the historic 1921 at Glen Echo (7300 Macarthur Blvd., Glen Echo, Maryland). However, the Carousel is currently closed for repairs until Spring 2020. Pack a picnic and stick around the Art Deco-style park for an art exhibit, puppet show or dance class. 鈥� Rachel Nania

$2: A trip to (12100 Glen Road, Potomac, Maryland) is one of the hottest tickets in town. And while entry into the museum is free, reservations are hard to come by. However, Ride On public transit passengers are guaranteed . Catch the bus at Rockville Station and ride it to Glenstone . 鈥� Rachel Nania

$2.50: You don’t have to be from Philly to appreciate the trays of hot, freshly-baked pretzel products filling the air with mouthwatering scents at (257 15th St. SE). And while everything is great, it’s hard to beat the chewy, Nutella-stuffed, glazed, salted pretzel bomb when it comes to pure joy. 鈥� Noah Frank

$3: A healthy, filling lunch for $3 that also helps support refugees? You can find it at (1140 Maine Ave. SW & 1210 Potomac St. NW). The falafel sandwich (falafel, lettuce, red cabbage, Pali salad, tahini and red sauce on a fresh baked pita) is $3. Tip: Make sure you sample all of the concept鈥檚 sauces. A portion of meal proceeds helps to feed refugees. 鈥� Rachel Nania

$3.25: Our taco options around the District have expanded dramatically over the last several years. But I haven鈥檛 found anything quite like the cueritos taco at (3714 14th St. NW). It鈥檚 a pork skin taco, slow-braised, served simply with onions and cilantro. It鈥檚 salty and delicious and literally melts in your mouth. 鈥� Noah Frank

$4: Happy hour at (1201 U St. NW) is a cornucopia of Islander and East Asian delights, but for value, you can鈥檛 beat the three, butter-slathered Hawaiian ham & cheese sliders. Sweet, chewy, delicious.

$4: Coffee & culture: Head to the National Mall for a morning of coffee and culture. Pick up a cappuccino at (Independence Ave. SW & 7th St. SW). Then, spend the rest of your time roaming the halls of the free modern art museum. 鈥� Rachel Nania聽

$4.25: Four dollars and 25 cents will get you the best Baja fish taco in all the land (and sea) at (4629 41st St. NW & 1946 New Hampshire Ave. NW). IMO. 鈥� Rachel Nania聽

$5: Believe it or not, you can still see a ballgame in this town for $5. Every Regular, Prime and Marquee game on the Nationals schedule, you can get one of just a few hundred Grandstand tickets to (1500 South Capitol St. SE), so long as you鈥檙e willing to show up early and go straight into the park (tickets are $15 for Diamond games). They鈥檙e available for individual sale right when gates open. Your seat is technically in the upper deck down the left field line, but you can stand anywhere. 鈥� Noah Frank

$5.95: The baked egg strata at (210 2nd St. SE) is the most delicious breakfast on Capitol Hill. It can be ordered one of two ways: 1. Italian sausage with caramelized onions and red pepper; or 2. Spinach with mushrooms and roasted pepper. You can either sit inside with a cup of coffee pretending you鈥檙e in Paris or take it to-go outside on Pennsylvania Avenue while staring at the Library of Congress and Capitol Building for a distinctly D.C. vibe. 鈥� Jason Fraley

$6.79: If you鈥檙e looking for a cheap ticket to the movies, drive over to the (2772 S. Randolph St., Arlington, Virginia) in the morning for just $6.79. Or, you can catch a matinee for $11.99, which is cheaper than most multiplexes. It鈥檚 also located in an adorable walkable community, so you can shop and dine while you wait for the sun to set. Then, you can nab tickets to Signature Theatre’s latest productions, running around $40 on the low end with Student Rush tickets available for $35 to complete a fun-filled day. 鈥� Jason Fraley

$7: This is the best happy hour deal in the city, period, stop, end of sentence. Where else can you get a can of PBR, a shot of Jim Beam, and a grilled hot dog, all for just $7, but at Bravo Bar (2917 Georgia Ave. NW)? The best part? Well, the hot dog. But the second-best? It鈥檚 available every day of the week from 5-8 p.m. 鈥� Noah Frank

$7.10: Formerly known as Pedro & Vinny鈥檚, this little joint was a longtime hidden gem of Arlington (2599 Columbia Pike), located just down the street from the historic Bob & Edith鈥檚 Diner. After the owners 聽it has since been rebranded (also located on 1825 I St. NW and 205 Pennsylvania Ave. SE), but the original building still looks like a glorified food truck and the food is still pretty darn close to those fond, tasty memories. 鈥� Jason Fraley

$7.79: What if a real BBQ joint made a KFC bowl but, you know, good? Behold, the Pearl (2418 Wisconsin Ave.; also 3471 Washington Blvd., Arlington, Virginia, and 25 S. Quaker Lane, Alexandria, Virginia), a layer cake of mac & cheese, baked beans, chopped pork and sauce. It鈥檚 delicious, after zero beers or five. 鈥� Noah Frank

$8: For just $8 a month, a (many locations in and around D.C.) membership is probably the best ongoing value in my budget (and at the yearly rate of $85, it鈥檚 actually only about $7/month). I don鈥檛 have to pay to maintain a bike, or worry about locking one up, or have to lug it on the bus or train with me. Some employers include it under their pretax transit benefit options. Plus, I can choose one-way rides if I want a good workout, or only want to ride home from work, so as not to be dripping in sweat around my co-workers. 鈥� Noah Frank

$9: It sounds wacky, but it works 鈥� and that鈥檚 what makes The Craig D one of D.C.鈥檚 most popular sandwiches. Nine dollars gets you a plain bagel with seasonal fruit cream cheese, piled with nectarines, hot peppers, bacon and chips at (3301 Georgia Ave. NW). 鈥� Rachel Nania聽

$10: For some reason, the Hollywood-based American Film Institute chose Silver Spring, Maryland, as its East Coast location for the (8633 Colesville Road). So, we should all take advantage of its regular slate of classic movies on the silver screen of a renovated movie palace built in 1938. I鈥檒l never forget seeing 鈥淟awrence of Arabia鈥� there in 65 mm or a Q&A with the late director Milos Forman after a screening of 鈥淥ne Flew Over the Cuckoo鈥檚 Nest.鈥� Matinees run $10. 鈥� Jason Fraley

$12: This one comes with the disclaimer that I used to pour beer in the taproom at (3950 Wheeler Ave., Alexandria, Virginia), so I am clearly biased. But I still go back frequently, often when friends visit, for their solid array of balanced beers. To get six tasters and a tour for just $12, it鈥檚 a great, cheap afternoon. 鈥� Noah Frank

$12: Bored with the routine happy hours? Head to (1600 21st St. NW) the first Thursday of every month for an evening of art and live music. Drinks and food are also available for purchase. 鈥� Rachel Nania

$12.95: If you鈥檙e a fan of pho, but haven鈥檛 branched out to southern Vietnamese cooking, let the menu at (pronounced “boon” 鈥� 2905 Sherman Ave. NW) be your guide. The next bad dish I have will be my first, but the one I always go back to is the #31. T么m & M峄眂, an enormous bowl of vermicelli noodle soup with a rich, tomato crab broth unlike anything else I鈥檝e ever had. 鈥� Noah Frank

$14.50: Sushi is expensive. But if you鈥檝e got a hankering for some fresh fish and can鈥檛 afford to break the bank, the sakedon at (2438 18th St. NW and 114 19th St. NW) is a pile of thick-cut salmon on top of a bowl of rice along with pickled cucumbers, radish, and ginger. It鈥檚 a full meal, all for a reasonable price. 鈥� Noah Frank

$15: Head to D.C.鈥檚 Petworth neighborhood for some of the best pizza the city has to offer. And while you can鈥檛 go wrong with any of the pies on (809 Upshur St. NW) menu, The Julia is sure to please, with provolone, mozzarella, sugar snap peas, pea shoot pesto, pea shoot salad, honey-lemon dressing and sesame seeds. 鈥� Rachel Nania

$15: There are movies, then there is the experience of walking beneath the relics of the American space program on your way into a stadium IMAX to watch a science fiction flick at the (600 Independence Ave. SW). It is a uniquely D.C. experience, it鈥檚 less expensive than some other IMAX options, and it鈥檚 the only way I鈥檒l ever watch another Star Wars movie as long as I live here. 鈥� Noah Frank

$15: There are few better ways to spend $15 than by checking out the rotating exhibits at the (1145 17th St. NW), from Indiana Jones archaeology props to actual heirlooms from the sinking of the Titanic. Kids get in for $10. 鈥� Jason Fraley

$16: Every meal I鈥檝e eaten at (828 Upshur St. NW) has been one of the best I鈥檝e had in the city. And while their Korean fried chicken and biscuits would have made this list if it was still on the menu (cough, cough), the hamachi crudo is a standby that I鈥檝e ordered every time I鈥檝e gone. 鈥� Noah Frank

$18: Eighteen dollars guarantees you a tired toddler on a rainy or snowy day. The one-time fee gets you all-day access at the indoor play center, (11 Wisconsin Circle, Bethesda, Maryland; also 6110 Arlington Blvd. D, Falls Church, Virginia and 4211 Fairfax Corner E Ave., Fairfax, Virginia). It鈥檚 not cheap (especially if you have more than one kiddo), but it gets the job done. 鈥� Rachel Nania

$20: If you can鈥檛 swing a trip to the Cape this year, you can at least get a taste of New England summers at (624 E St. NW, 800 17th St. NW, 1211 Potomac St. NW & 7129 Bethesda Lane, Bethesda, Maryland). Twenty dollars gets you a lobster roll, kettle chips and a drink. 鈥� Rachel Nania

$26: One of my favorite deals is not long for this world, as the best golf value in the area will soon be no more. So get out to (11501 Old Prospect Hill Road, Glenn Dale, Maryland) and walk 18 holes before they close after Labor Day. You won鈥檛 find a tougher, better kept, more beautiful course anywhere close to that price point. 鈥� Noah Frank
