Why DC Central Kitchen? Couldn't they have associated themselves with someone who believes in living wages?

So happy to hear this, OP! I haven't been since they reopened but now I will make time for it.

I love working from there. The light is incredible.

I love it, too! The tables set against the windows in the Adult Non-fiction room face the Portrait Gallery and the Capitol One Arena. I think it is the best view in the city from which to work. Also, check out the roof top garden as it's a lovely place to have lunch or take a breatk.

Also pro tip - the parking system is not set up right at the moment out front (it requires spot numbers to pay and there are no spot numbers) so parking on the street is free until they fix it. Or at least I haven't been ticketed on multiple days so I assume that is the case.
