Tryst seems to have removed their couches and cozy chairs at some point in the last year. Not sure if it was covid related (which is fair), but was really disappointing to see that the last time I was in there.

Baked Joint. Has anything you need plus great coffee. They can run out of stuff early-ish though.

Can you please name some of the places you've been, the ones you recommend the most, and lastly the places you need to still to need to hit?

Thanks in advance!

What an absolute fucking waste of time this thread is

So Georgetown is a special place where only rich people can go. If you have a Range Rover or Roles Royce, you can park there without getting a ticket. which means that is your place too sleep. However, if you drive anything made before 2015, you are going to get F'ed in the A!!! That is what the police there get paid for. AND THEY BRAG ABOUT IT!!! Many videos on YouTube.

I have noticed this too

I filed a name change when I turned 18. Did not require a guardian. This was in VA.

Tryst in Adams Morgan has lots of seating.

Hahahahahahaha

Does the Greenbelt Metro have parking? Is a parking garage really that hard to find in DC?

I’m from a country with a strong cafe culture and it’s quite the opposite. Cafes are where you go to drink a coffee, eat a snack, and hang out for several hours reading a book or chatting with friends.

From the OP:

>Although I realize I might just be romanticizing the idea of sitting in a coffeehouse on a rainy day reading a good book.

Sounds like they wanted to camp out and read a book, no?

I'm only saying experiences that depend on access to cheap real estate are harder to come by here, and one of the trade-offs of choosing to live in an expensive city is having to go to the burbs sometimes to experience them, just like one has to go to the burbs to go to Ikea, pavilion-style concert venues, a Korean spa, etc. Whether the experience of sitting in a coffee shop is worth the trip is will vary from person to person, obviously.

That said, I do sometimes bike out to Vigilante if the weather's nice. It's about a half hour's ride from my house, and it is, indeed, a nice place to hang out.

Hmm, I think the next course of action would be to give it to a police station but not sure if they’d do anything. Did you find it just on the street somewhere or was it near a business/metro? You could always leave it with someone who works there in case the person retraces their steps to find it.

Architectural style should not matter, buildings serve a purpose for the community. We shouldn’t over complicate the issue by trying to make any city fit anyones criteria of “beautiful”. What would be beautiful is a city that prioritizes the needs of the people over a small minorities design preferences.

Don’t lie. Even if you’re not, don’t pretend like my comment is intended for you. As if all the morons in this traffic jam are “driving an elderly relative”. Either you’re lying or you know my comment isn’t intended for you.

You should check out The Line if you haven’t already

When was the last time you took the metro?

There’s a Kaldi’s in Clarendon (VA)! Plenty of seating too.

The bringing in crime is more of an urban legend than simple nimbyism hence the 'probably' in my comment. But I didn't know construction costed it out of the running. Googling around shows a plan on the table and guess it would be a deeper station than Rosslyn?

They are giving them on a rolling basis now, afaik

Residents likely kept it out. The US hasn’t built public housing (eg Sursum Corda) in decades except for some privately financed developments (and have a lot of variation). In theory, households could use vouchers to rent units in Georgetown but I am going to guess the lease-up rate for vouchers is quite low there.
