Ok, well less parking means fewer customers for restaurants. We’ve found ourselves increasingly going over the border to the suburbs because it’s less hassle. Not good for anyone who runs a business in DC


Have fun. The rest of us will enjoy walking or biking to our next meal.


Really? You're going to bike home on a full stomach? Must be a real light eater...


Not all of us belly up to the trough, correct.

That’s because you live in Upper Caucasia, the part of DC that really isn’t even a city.


I mean, how would you know this?


If this poster is “crossing the border” into the suburbs to eat dinner, where else in DC would she be living?

Takoma Park, Shepherd Park, or Capitol Heights?

Funny thing about cycling is its totally fine to eat a bunch of food and bike. It's not like running where that would get all churned up and probably make the person puke. I ate a crapload of nachos last night in the Barrack's Row neighborhood and then biked back up to Cathedral where my apt is, for instance.

Uh, huh. Says the guy who just moved here from Indiana


This. Being smug about living in Logan circle is a specific look.

Yes, I do live in VA. But im from here and mostly metro for DC stuff. I take public transportation, walk, bike to work often and prefer it. Sometimes i do need to drive though. Especially if it’s a time we have to get a sitter. Not finding parking within a few blocks does impact dining choice at times.


If you ate going places where you are at risk for not finding a parking spot within a few blocks, that means you are going places like the Wharf, Navy Yard, Dupont, 14th Street - in other words high density, high vibrancy areas where parking has been at a premium with or without streeteries. If you are going places like Chevy Chase, DC or Cleveland Park, parking is still pretty easy and streetaries are not really impacting it at all.

And when you say "not finding parking" do you mean relatively free street parking or paid parking in a garage? Because in the high density areas, you are more likely to need to pay for parking anyhow. So using an Uber is likely more time and cost effective than trying to drive and park.


If I can't find parking within the four spots directly in front of the door of an establishment, I'm not going to eat there!!!

That's what awesome about the suburbs. Plenty of parking and great local establishments like Applesbees orChili's to get my baby back ribs on. Chef Mike always does such a great job preparing my food. How is it that he can be in so many places at once!!!??!

What? Do you generally stuff yourself so much you acct move? Most people can comfortably bike after a meal. Are you 300 lbs?

Someone's never been to those places, 😂. There's more stuff across the border there than there is on Western.

There are no Applebees within 15 miles of DC. Once again you have shown a complete lack of knowledge or understanding of the DMV. Go back to whatever godforsaken town you are from and make that place better.

+1000

Also, uh, this is DC — the suburbs are way more diverse *in every possible way* than the city itself. You can tell the people on this thread who are so, so eager to dunk on the suburbs as some sort of 1950s stereotype haven’t been here very long. The suburbs of DC are not like the suburbs in the crappy midwestern state you just moved here from.
