The best place for duck is at a place near Baily's Cross Road in VA.  I believe
 it's called Peking Duck House or Duck Chang???  President Bush ate there every so often when he was president.  Even Schwarzkoff has been there and a number o f other celebs.  If you've never experience duck, this is the place to go to.

Duck Chang's is the name and it is excellent. I had some friends introduce me to the place and the Peking Duck is worth the trip.

Despite the fact that it was a republican gastronomic stronghold for so long, it's VERY good - perhaps the best in the region. The correct name is Peking Gourmet Inn. Its located in the Culmore Shopping Center approx. 3 mi from 395 or 4 mi from Rt 66. Their number is... (703) 671-8088.

Actually, the name of the place near/at Bailey's Cross Roads is Peking Gourmet - it is the place that Bush used to frequent, and it is very good.  Duck Chang's is also a wonderful place to get duck and it is located on John Marr Dr. in Annandale.
