I lived in both and personally prefer DuPont, even though my studio was insanely small

As an Asian American living in DC, I’m sending you so much love. This is horrifying and all too common

Just avoid anything DARO managed

It was really clean and pretty cute interior-wise too. Rooftop was closed for the season though. From what I saw, there was only valet parking, but there’s a ton of street parking in the area if you look around enough, which is what we did. And yes, noodlehead is always a great time! Try their street noodle #1: the fried chicken pieces are unreal

Hmm, I wish I knew some good Mexican places, but can’t name any that I’ve particularly loved. I’ll list my faves: noodle head for Thai ($12.50 noodles and BYOB), cafe moulin for brunch/crepes, selamis kebab house or pasha for Mediterranean. I haven’t been to point Brugge but I’ve heard great things about their burgers

What cuisine do you guys like? Also for hotels, we loved TRYP by windham in lawrenceville. Just stayed there this weekend

Sounds good, thank you!

Oh no :( oh really? I was hoping this wasn’t the case bc it was closer to east liberty. Could you share with me your experience of being there?

I agree!! I loved the historic features and it was so cool to see the interior. How is the neighborhood? I’ve never lived around the area before and would love to hear your thoughts

Are there any other decent grocery stores in the area besides that giant Eagle?

We’re hetero-presenting non-black POC, if that helps

Thank you!!

Thank you! May I ask how close you were from AGH for reference? Obviously don’t need to give exact location, just want to scope out how far

Would you say where the farmers market is is too close? (5min walk away, I think)

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, will keep this in mind. And I’m sorry about your friend-i hope she’s okay and healing.

I’ve personally found that things change a lot from neighborhood to neighborhood after living in other cities, which is why I’m asking. (Ex: homewood vs squirrel hill). Lol

Thanks for the insight! How would you describe the area? We’ve heard some things about E Ohio (which would be around the corner) but not sure if things have changed

That’s exactly my point? I didn’t grow up in north side, thus, asking for advice/other folks’ experiences.
