What’s happening down there today?

Hi, I enjoy going to the museums regularly for free. Is this at all risk with the election results?

Hi! I no longer want to attend the ball and have 2 tickets if anyone is interested (for much cheaper than the society's website)!

Pretty much what the title says. I know everyone might have a different definition of what “cozy” means, so let me hear your advice.

For me, I think it’s something mellow, soft lighting, not too loud, has a warm feeling. Nice decor, but doesn’t need to be fancy - could be rustic, minimal, whatever. No loud music blaring. Not a place filled with rowdy, loud, meat-market patrons. Just a place where you can sit at the bar or a small table with a book, a drink (beer, cocktail, or wine - I’m not picky with that), and a snack and enjoy watching the world.

Bonus if near a metro stop.

Does anyone know any nice rec centers or other spots with an open free dance studio or practice room with mirrors? Saw that St Marks church has 1 upstairs but the door is always locked

hi! i’m visiting dc in december for a short 5-day trip, and i’m trying to see where i can purchase a good coat but on a budget.

i’m from florida so i only own jackets so i definitely have no clue on what kind of coat i need for the winter. i don’t want to spend too much since it’s going to be a short trip and i won’t really need a coat in florida lol but any suggestion is helpful!

Does anyone know why there doesn’t seem to be Live! At the Library programming for this Thursday evening? The LOC website states it is open until 8pm each Thursday, but for some reason there is nothing for Nov 14th.

Also timed entry tickets end on Nov 14th at 1pm, when every other day they go until 4:30pm. We’re visiting this upcoming week and wanted to go to this thing, but can’t find info and there are no night tickets available. Tried chatting and calling LOC and they had no information for me.

my friend and i want to wear formal dresses and take cute pictures the problem is we don't want to go to bars and didn't get selected for national gallery nights, any ideas of where we should try for?

Does anyone know any CAA’s(Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant)/CRNA’s(certified registered nurse anesthetist) in the area that I can shadow? Really interested in the field and looking to get some shadowing experience in order to see if it’s a good fit, but I don’t see many in the DC area that are on LinkedIn/available to be messaged. TIA!

that's it. if anyone wants to chat, will appreciate it. tks

Hi anyone that’s lives in navy yard specifically the collective and nearby know what this extremely loud noise is??

I last visited Washington, D.C., as a tourist in 2014. I was a 19-year-old Asian American and a kid in community college years in an active college touring era. I plan to return when everything in my life is settled. However, my career changes forced my plan to visit DC at a much later date, somewhere after 2027.

In 2017, when Trump was sworn in as president, my old friends living in the DC area notified me that throughout the entire 4 years, MAGA people, white supremacists, and people holding confederate flags roaming across the street became a regular instance. Things didn't end well when the January 6 insurrection happened.

I was scheduled to visit Washington, D.C., in 2028 with better financial and personal stability. With Trump returning to the White House in 2025 and expecting him to leave in 2029, my timing with the newly scheduled trip now came into question. Furthermore, Trump had a long history of stoking anti-Asian rhetoric during the pandemic and never apologized after the Atlanta spa shooting in 2021, which now came into question regarding my safety as an Asian American.

Will Washington D.C. be safe to travel as an Asian American during the Trump administration?

If yes, are the White House and US Capitol building worth the visit despite the harsh reminder of racism and the insurrection?

If otherwise, will it be better to go there in 2029 instead?

TICKET IS CLAIMED

In dc visiting schools for the weekend and none of us packed anything nice. Just want to go to a good steakhouse and wear jeans, sweater and sneakers but all seem super upscale.

I got two and the other one will go unused. It's at 930 club, Doors open at 6 hmu!

This is the 4th week in which I’ve looked for gf pumpkin ravioli’s at a trader joes in DC and found none. I don’t recall them being that popular and running out so often. I keep trying different stores and today I went to the one near Lincoln park and again, there were none!

I’ve tried going on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Does anyone know when they normally stock up and what the best time to go is?

I paid $400 ($50 in service fee, and $350 for drilling) to have the lock to a condo drilled because maintenance does not have emergency locksmith services on the weekends. Is this a normal price for the area?

Additionally, in anyone's experience, will the management company reimburse me for these services? The door knob itself was faulty which is why I was locked out after stepping out for 30 seconds, even though I didn't lock the door. It's not a self locking lock and even after drilling, it won't budge from the outside, so I'm kind of trapped on the inside and debating having an emergency locksmith replace the doorknob and lock completely this weekend. If not, I'm essentially trapped inside till Monday.

Any place in DC that does regular game night? Go Fish, uno, etc

What are*

Can I buy SIM cards at Dulles airport and are companies and the prices

I'm traveling soon

Any recommendations for NYE25? Where is good to go? Not looking for a club night or an expensive meal.. are there fireworks etc, or anywhere external where there is generally a good vibe on NYE? Thanks!!

From somewhere I can Uber eats to NW. Food emergency.

After suffering through a year in a building with terrible management I’m being extra cautious with landlords and management companies this time. Does anyone have a landlord they recommend, or management company they’ve had a good experience with as a tenant? Especially curious if anyone has any experience Oracle Property Solutions, I’m not seeing much online but they have a bunch of listings at the moment

We will be in DC on the 4th of July. Everything I'm reading makes me feel like I don't want to tackle the crowds at the mall.

We will be a family of 8 (ages 11 and up including 2 senior citizens)

I was thinking about doing a boat cruise but that is out of budget.

Are there any rooftop restaurants that we could make reservations at? We don't drink, so it's no necessary to be a bar plus we will have 4 kids.

We will not have chairs or blankets as we are flying out there.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey guys, Im visiting DC for a few days and have no idea where I could smoke (cig) without breaking any law. How do you do it normally? Sorry if this question is stupid, genuinely confused. Please help
