I wouldn't live in a city without a metro or equivalent

It's advertising for dumb suburban "DC is a crime wasteland" folks

yea, that's literally what a cocktail is

they're only blossoms if the trees are in blossom, France actually

Neither are super warehousy (DC doesn't have much of that scene at the moment) but both are good vibes. Flash might be better as a tourist cause it's in a more dense/more things to do/more accessible part of town.

So's Your Mom is a lot better than CYM tho lol and is a great bagel place (by any standard except NYCs)

CYM does not count as a proper bagel shop 😁

What's wrong with So's Your Mom?

Definitely counts, such a great spot.

About $200 a month, but I eat vegan + eggs at home so it's pretty cheap.

Probably 30% Giant, 30% WF, 30% TJs, 10% Safeway

The Chief of MPD and the mayor have both made similar comments - people are feeling scared when it's not dangerous out.

Use Google maps

Under the current criminal code it's actually very difficult to charge for gunshots if nothing/no one is damaged (may not even be illegal). The new criminal code that people are calling "soft on crime" actually creates a new crime that is solely discharging a gun to allow charges in these cases.

It's one of the greenest (in terms of plants/parks) cities in the US, even in the poorer neighborhoods too.

It's free to dispose of bulk trash in DC.

Probably based on entry/exit data and train crowding

The service was not that good when I went, it was kind of middling.

It wasn't even the price - it was the value for the price. I am happy to pay $$$ for a meal if it's worth it, but nakazawa, while delicious, just doesn't have the service at the same level as other restaurants in the same price range.

I meant more as "best restaurants" in DC, not best nigiri (or even best Japanese). Though, I would put them at 3 in terms of omakase in DC (with Sushi Taro and Oku higher), though they would be 2 at nigiri focused omakase (with Sushi taro higher). But in terms of service and experience at that price point I can think of 25 or so restaurants that are better (and I generally do the sushi bar at Nakazawa for reference). I generally feel that while they make great nigiri the service could be much better in that price range.

I went to sushi nakazawa mid 2022 and while very good there's better in the city for the price range imo
