No, because the city where your main place of business or work is located is known as your "tax home," and you're not allowed to deduct travel, meals, or lodging expenses near your "tax home". See this IRS reference for full details: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc511

**Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute tax or legal advice.
