[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC seems like it is apocalyptic wrt to out of control crime all over the city.  The last thing I’d want to happen to us for our anniversary dinner coming up is to get carjacked. It seems like chefs are fed up too:

Last time we went out in DC we were slammed with all sorts of ridiculous service, inflation recovery, and service staff health care fees and were still expected to tip.  We almost never encounter the same kind of insane hidden fee structure in the burbs as we do in DC.

Is there really any point anymore of patronizing the city and its businesses when crime is so out of control and even if you make it to the restaurant safely, restauranteurs will mug you anyway with hidden fees when the bill comes. We are on the verge of being completely done with the DC dining scene. Anyone else been canceling their plans for spending their money in the district due to these issues?[/quote]

Are you for real or is this a troll?[/quote]

Crime isn’t a problem in DC now? There are so many residents now getting fed up.  If residents are fed up, why should one visit and patronize the city with their money? It’s clearly no longer safe.  Add in hidden fees everywhere they want to sock you with, and the calculus for deciding whether to go or not increasingly tips in the favor of no mas.[/quote]
