Penn Quarter Sports Tavern on Indiana Ave by 7th. Walkable from the Mall, close to the National Archives and Navy Memorial. Great food, drinks, and service.

Edit: why was this downvoted? That place is awesome for a casual meal.

Don’t leave! DC is so cute

I got rid of my car when I moved here! Never thought I would but the metro is fantastic. Definitely make sure you're in walking distance to a metro stop.

4 club 🎉

How do you like Brookland? I was actually looking into moving there lol

Definitely doable to live in DC without a car. I own a car and love the freedom to easily range far beyond the city, but even in my neighborhood where the nearest Metro station is not convenient, I easily rode the bus to work this morning.

I think you can ask yourself what the difference between visiting NYC versus living there is and you’ll have the answer to that question.

Personally NYC has that sort of dirty, seedy feeling all over whereas in DC that’s more concentrated and otherwise it’s easy to determine what areas you are comfortable living or walking in.

That Uturn happens during every red light...I see it constantly there. Even cops pulling that shit heading North so they can get some starbucks. It's truly horrifying in the summer when the ubers pull that uturn during a red light when the crosswalk is FULL of pedestrians.

I haven't had a car since 2019, it's pretty easy. Main thing I miss is being able to go to all the good spots in the burbs for food.

You don't have to deal with hill people if you don't want to.

I don't know what visiting DC is like.

Vs NYC you will have a harder time getting cheap food from various cuisines INSIDE the city (our chinatown isn't comparable whatsoever, no trini roti shops unless you wanna pay like 17 bucks in brighwood park), but there are tons of options in the burbs. Trains don't run as often, and the stations are more spread out. Our bars close earlier.

People FLY down here and combine that with the giant DC uturn against the light I've seen many near misses and collisions.

People drive like absolute maniacs on conn.

>1. What is the biggest difference between living in DC vs visiting DC?

As a DC resident, you have no representation in Congress. That's a pretty big deal.

>2. I'd love to be able to not own a car. How doable is that?

Entirely doable. The DC Metro system is not as reliable as the NY Subway, but it works. There are buses all over, too. You can basically go anywhere within the city or the adjoining suburbs using mass transit, and there are plentiful bike lanes if you are a risk taker.

>3. For people who are familiar with both cities, how would you compare DC vs NYC?

People here are less considerate. It's less convenient for commerce because almost nothing it open 24-7 anymore.

0. I work for a company owned by a property management company. The apartment is rent controlled. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be able to afford it.

The lease is up and I'm leaving this city and going back to where I'm from

2. Very doable without a car! 40% of DC households are car-free. There is a good growing protected cycle infrastructure. Many neighborhoods have everything you need within walking distance. Stay within a 15 minute walk of a metro and a nearby grocery and you’re good.

My job and this city.

Exactly what I was thinking based on the pictures

And won’t you please define it for me, who is an artist? What is a joke? What is art ? Get to it

Both I guess, roller coaster of cold catching weather. Let me off lol

Aww, poor pup. (And poor you.)

Is that when it’s going to be pushing 80, or is that Thursday? 🥵

Great prank

Did you see tomorrow? Wow

Puppy has upset stomach :\

Ah yes, grandfathering in older buildings with less stringent regulations and time frames is always a great idea. /s
