Ohana — who?

Who do you all like at Ohana? I heard the person can make or break the massage. I would prefer a woman. I heard Wendy is great but her availability… is a little weird. So who else do you all like?

How to start dating going into 2025 in bethesda

So I looked around and didn't see anyone ask this in multiple months, and the existing ones didn't have the best answers so I'll go ahead and ask it. So I'm newly single for the first time since college and I'm wondering, how does someone go about dating in bethesda. My only experience with dating was in college before I turned 21, so no bars, either dating apps or connections through friends, but I also don't have many friends in bethesda so that 2nd part isn't immediately useful. And I'm just wondering, what is the best way to go about it. Are dating apps as bad as I remember, getting a match every few days but not getting even one message from them 9/10 times, or was that jist a college town thing? Is going to bars an actual way to meet people, like it's shown in media, or am I more likely to just end up going there and drinking alone? In my bit of googling I saw people talking about singles events, so I'm just wondering if these are actually a thing that happens often, how to find about about them, and how many people actually show up to them. And a little note, If any of this is more successful going into dc than lmk. Mainly I just don't want to sit here, going to bars or swiping on apps or finding singles events if they don't actually work. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Best cafes / restaurants with easy parking for business

I want to have a business meeting with a partner in Bethesda. I’m looking for a cafe / restaurant with easy parking (street parking is fine if there’s a lot nearby). Doesn’t need to be quiet with nobody in there. Just tables spacey enough for conversation. Also, amazing food and drinks is a major plus.

Thanks!

Turkey Chase

Did anyone living in downtown Bethesda realize they’d be trapped in during the duration of the turkey race?

Some advanced notice would’ve been nice.

Help with apartments

Hey everyone :)

Moving to Bethesda soon, and I am looking for apartments right now. I have some questions, and I would appreciate any advice!

  1. I am a young woman and would like to be in a walking distance from supermarkets, restaurants, and stores. How good is living in North Bethesda in that sense?
  2. Considering downtown, I am between The Metropolitan and The Seasons. Any comment on those? Is there any other “cheap”/good apartment nearby?

Thanks!

Overnight Parking in Downtown Bethesda Area

I'm moving into downtown Bethesda in December and the apartment complex I'm moving into (Gallery Bethesda I) does not offer vistor/guest parking. I'll need overnight parking for my mom's car and a U-haul truck.

Does anyone know of any overnight parking garages in the downtown area that we can use? We're really in a bit of a conundrum over this.

Parking ticket with wrong license plate state

I received a 2 hour parking ticket in a garage in downtown Bethesda, even though it had only been 10 minutes since I parked my car. Additionally, the parking ticket has the correct license plate number but the wrong state.

Should I pay the fine, contest it, or not bother about it since they got the state wrong?

I checked the ticket on the Montgomery County parking ticket payment portal and it also shows the wrong state.

Chase condos Bethesda

Hi guys! I live in Bethesda in a high rise building, but I’m thinking about moving to a condo building-specifically the chase. How do you all like this building? It looks great compared to others for what you’re paying-especially with amenities. I don’t see much online though! Any input is helpful! Thanks

Vamoose Bus (NYC - Bethesda) was incredible

It's my first time usage for this bus, and it took only 3.30 hours from NYC to Bethesda. Bus was clean and comfortable. The staff was professional.

10/10 recommended to neighbors!

It was better than other buses with similar routes.

Nice place to park?

Edit: I found a place! Thanks so much everyone. I really didn’t expect to get much of a response.

I have two obligations in Bethesda today with a two hour break between them. It takes me 40 minutes to get there so no point in going home. I’d really like to get something to eat and eat it in the car parked at a park, or an overlook, or something like that. I don’t want to eat in anywhere for numerous reasons, one being that I want a break from the noise. Any ideas?

What do you buy in downtown Bethesda that isn’t food?

I live in Bethesda and don't do a ton of online shopping yet I find I largely only spend money downtown at restaurants and grocery stores. As much as I enjoy Bethesda as a walkable community, there aren't that many shops I feel inclined even to visit, let alone buy things from.

I think the exceptions for me are art supplies from Plaza, hardware/household goods from Strosniders, and the occasional gift from Paper Source. What are yours?

This wasn’t on my radar but just passed by a new post office in the new Giant complex on Westbard. I don’t know why, but this brings me great joy having a new usps with good parking.
