[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are tons of fairly good restaurants in the 'burbs. You can eat pretty well in Rockville or Arlington. And not have to deal with parking issues. Or crime or harassment issues. If you are coming from the suburbs, a DC restaurant has to make it worthwhile. An event restaurant. And there are very few to make it worth the hassle. Plus all the surcharges DC restaurants often add to the check. It's generally not worth it on a Thursday evening.

And 20 and 30-somethings in DC aren't going out like they used to. For lots of reasons. Price being the big one. But also they don't drink much these days. And they have their online whatever communities and very cheap weed and gummies. Much more affordable than a $20 dirty martini at a mediocre restaurant with questionable vibes.

Where is the value of going to most DC restaurants? They are not competing with food, price, ambience, service, vibe, or convenience. [b]I  really can't think of much of a reason to go downtown for dinner unless for a special restaurant.[/b] Of which there are not many.[/quote]

Yet another poster who doesn't live here.[/quote]

Who cares if they live in DC or not? Many restaurants are or were dependent on customers coming in from outside of DC.[/quote]

Because it’s not your tax dollars being spent.  You don’t get a vote.  We don’t care what you think about how our money is spent.  [/quote]

Stop pretending to speak for all DC residents.  Most of us do not agree with your craziness.[/quote]

Oh, so you're ok with non-residents telling you how to spend your tax dollars?[/quote]
