I will be on irving street right by the target for the summer. I'm a college girl and I need to commute to Union Station. I'm small and scared of the danger here. The metro looks scary from the outside but I heard it's safe. Is it safer to take the bus or the metro? The bus is only 15 minutes longer but i'm willing to leave earlier for my safety. I will be commuting back and forth to columbia heights at 8 in the morning and around 5/6 pm everyday M-F.

I've been on the train to get to columbia heights before, but not by myself.

Huge stoner myself and would like to make friends with people who are also

Traveling between New Freedom PA to DC. Do you you recommend taking I-95 or 295?

Wow heck of a storm just rolled into NOMA

Mr. Dixon, your badge was found and left with an attendant at lenfant metro station.

Anyone know what’s going on?

Good evening!

My daughter has an internship this summer - working location is near the mall.

Been looking at Zillow but any suggestions of how and where to find a rental or roommate for the summer?

I used to live in Alexandria in the 90’s and recall that subway station which I took only a few times. Is Alexandria a viable choice and commute?

TIA

They applied for a tour 3 months prior to their trip to DC. Both are US citizens, have valid passports, and have zero criminal history. They inquired further after their denial and all they were told was “no information available”. We are so confused. Any idea???

ISO a decent gym to use for a few months that won’t drain the bank (preferably around Cap Hill or easily accessible to the area).

Boyfriend's mom purchased a Society Finch(who is terrified out of his mind and in a minuscule cage) as a gift for a friend's 5 year old daughter. Both parents work constantly and won't be able to give the care that the bird needs. Bf's mom said so herself. I was also told about an incident in which the 5 year old had a pet gerbil who she kicked around like a soccer ball resulting in the gerbil's death. Needless to say as a bird owner myself I am very concerned and advised her against giving the bird away but she is acting like it's a done deal since she already told the little girl and her parents that she would give the bird to her for her birthday and apparently the World will end if she doesn't. There's an older teenage sister and she thinks that she'll step up and take care of the bird. Are there any organizations or hotlines located in DC that I can call or email to report/prevent this? It seems like most resources I found online are geared towards cats/dogs. I offered to purchase the bird but she refused saying while she knows the bird will probably die, she is still going to give it to her.

I'll be spending a few days in DC before going to NYC for my honeymoon in jan/feb. We're gonna have some luggage on us, but it's not more than a backpack for each and a standard suitcase.

I've traveled by train on europe, but never in the US. And we're not used to snow (we were there for the 2016 blizzard but we just took a flight in and out of NYC).

Should we just get plane tickets or is it fine to go by train?

I couldn't find any (recent) specific post that has this answered already.

Thanks in advance for taking your time to answer!

I’m from Texas and I just moved in with my wife. I’m looking for work, I’ve applied to many jobs and many sites, but usually end up with no response or my favorite response being that the job has been filled already. I call the places I apply to as well.

I have done everything from even calling up a job telling a little white lie by asking when my interview was because I forgot and they would say we don’t have interviews at all for the whole month lol.

I’m prior military served 4 years active, and still have my secret clearance. Just wondering if anyone knows any places that are for sure hiring that would be greatly appreciated. I live in silver springs but dc isn’t too far.

(I served in the navy, was a boatswain, but don’t be fooled I got an 70 asvab)

Me and my girlfriend went to Vancouver on vacation and had tingmo at a Nepalese restaurant. Now we’re on the hunt to find some in the DMV. I haven’t found it on the menu at the few Nepalese or Himalayan restaurants I know of in the area. Anyone have leads?

Hallo DC folks!

I hope my question is acceptable, I've read the wiki/pinned post and did my own research and haven't found my answer yet.

This summer I'm planning on visiting my aunt. She's lives close to DC and we're planning on taking a couple day trips to the city to visit the museeums, the mall and stuff like that. But she has also expressed the wish to try weed for the first time in her life. For some reasons she was too scared when she was young and since I "know what I'm doing" (according to her) she asked me to introduce her to weed.

I've read up on the laws in DC, obviously I'm above 21. The problem is my aunt is a woman in her 50s. Since we can't take weed home I'm looking for a place we can smoke/get high where she would be comfortable. And where we can spend a couple of hours, since americans have kind of a time-limited restaurant culture.

She's 50 something and usually drinks a couple glasses of red wine when she wants to party so I'm not looking for a club or anywhere with just younger people.

I'm kinda eyeballing one of the thc brunch experiences I've found online. But I haven't decided yet because I really want her to be comfortable.

I'm kinda hoping y'all have a recommendation for us.

If what I'm looking for doesn't exists I might just budge and pay for a 420 friendly hotel for the two of us and we'll have some edibles but I'm kinda hoping to find something below 150$ bc I'm a broke student. But I'm willing to pay more since I'm staying with my aunt all sommer for free and she's super exited and I really want her to have a great time.

Thanks guys!! And I hope y'all have a nice Saturdays night.

(Feel free to recommend non thc things too lol I'm very much looking forward to visit your beautiful city)

Currently thinking of flying in June 28 and flying out July 4. The cheapest flight is into Dulles. I have some questions. Any assistance greatly appreciated

1. Should I stay near the Dulles airport or is it too far from all the museums and attractions?
2. Are the museums open on Sunday? July 4th?
3. I want to go to 4 museums, Arlington, Ford's theater, Vietnam memorial, white House (just stand by the gate) national archives. Is this feasible in my amount of time?

Thank you

Hey everyone, I am 21 years old (M) and about to be interning here for the summer. I've heard D.C. has a great bar scene but am unsure of where to go since there are so many places around. As title says, I am looking for bars that mostly cater to people in their early 20s, could be college dive bars, sports bars, anything helps!

I need to get an eye exam and glasses for the first time as an adult. I have insurance that covers vision. Where should I go? I really don’t know anything about the process so any advice or recommendations appreciated. Are places like Warby Parker and MyEyeDr good for actually looking at eye health? No concerns there, but I would like to find someone that does more than just find glasses.

Does anyone know if they kiosks you have to print “Reserved parking” signs at are open on the weekends? Does anyone know the hours during the week. They aren’t on the website!

Why is it so hard to find pork tenderloin in DC right now? Both the Lidl and Giant in Columbia Heights have decided to stop selling pork tenderloin. I never realized it was such a rare delicacy. I haven't checked the Safeway at GA and Randolph yet. But I'm sure they'll be out.
