Nice bokeh!

I'm fairly sure that the Westover Beer Garden will have it on inside - they've been showing other games thusfar.

This whole post was a stupid rant anyway lol. You seem more pressed than any of my comments were

Enjoy. This is the pre-gentrified DC you so long for. Take it all in.

They did NOT pursue in that case. The driver fled the stop at high speed and crashed even without the pursuit.

Yeah, I opened expecting to read another Bijan Ghaisar story. But, uh, wow. This ain't that.

But you're entirely guessing they expect that when ordering a specific culture's food

Honestly dude, find something else to argue about

I am aware

Half the city is a ghost town on Saturday night. It's really unsettling. I don't know how long property value holds out with this setup.

Idk, but if you like baseball and aren’t watching you should!

Came here to ask the same question. My guess is that Ivy & Coney will be playing it with sound, given their love for all things baseball. Also, delicious hot dogs.

I would hope almost every bar would be showing it. Crazy that Fox isn't broadcasting the semifinals or the finals on the OTA channel. Surely this is a bigger draw than TMZ.

I feel so terrible for the ongoing stress this is gonna cause you. 🙄 I assure you I’m capable of figuring out how to get places with a years notice.

Suntory Sakura is made with the blossoms and leaves.

Businesses are generally trying to make money so if most people expect "cherry blossom" drinks to taste like cherries then yes, you do cater to the ignorance. It's not customer's problem if the business loses money because people didn't like the taste of their "cherry blossom" drinks and stopped ordering them.

Same! And I was worried the paper cup would get blown into the water.

I'm also interested in this (specifically places that will be showing the game with sound). Pretty much any sports bar should have the game on one of the TVs, but most won't have it with sound. I'd prefer to stay in Virginia, but I'd be willing to travel into DC for the right place.

I watched the semifinal against Cuba at World of Beer in Arlington on Sunday, but it didn't have sound. That game was competing against March Madness, but there's no NCAA basketball tonight, so hopefully better luck convincing a sports bar to show it with sound.

Ok? Are we supposed to cater to people's ignorance?

​

If you go to a restaurant and order something and get upset because it's what you ordered but you don't know what you ordered, that's a you problem.

I suspect there are far more people who "know nothing" about the cherry blossom trees than people who expect authentic Sakura flavor from any "cherry blossom" drink.

Little Serow was open for take-out for most of the pandemic and only closed sometime last year, though, no?

Because people don't eat shamrocks. A shamrock shock is a madeup item from an American burger place to celebrate a watered down American version of an Irish holiday.

Sakura season is specifically celebrated here, in one city, because we were gifted sakura trees from the culture known for sakura season.

​

The only people expecting it to taste like cherries is people who know nothing about it.

This is the stupidest fucking comparison.

Disagree. I believe the greater expectation by people ordering "cherry blossom" is for it to taste like cherries, same as a Shamrock Shake tastes like mint and not shamrocks.

The issue is that there is no way to "plan" for those particular streets being closed. You're just screwed for half of the day if you need to go anywhere that involves crossing North Capitol or Harvard Street--so essentially you're trapped. Couple this with various WMATA service outages that are not coordinated, and you have a recipe for disaster. Traffic becomes a total gridlock.

The "plan" is just to not go anywhere that particular day.

Have the marathon run the same routes that the other ones (e.g. Marine Corps) do down by the mall, and don't bring that nonsense up into core residential and business districts.

It's unfair to all of us, especially those who commute into the city in the morning to staff all of the bars and restaurants for your brunches and St. Patty's festivities.

Maybe the can’t get out of their lease but it’s cheaper to stay closed.
