At long last, Bennifer has arrived in our city.

Ben Affleck has been in town on and off over recent weeks to film “State of Play,” but Washingtonians didn’t get a glimpse of his celebrity wife, Jennifer Garner, until last Thursday.

The pair, along with their baby girl, Violet, made the short trip from the Georgetown Ritz Carlton to Papa-Razzi for dinner.
