Keep in mind it's not just a safety issue - Dupont Circle is also a really fun neighborhood to live in just in general. I lived there for years and loved the safety, the easy walk to lots of other neighborhoods I hung out in like Logan and Shaw, and just the overall vibes. NoMa is a little less connected in my opinion to the rest of places you might want to go to, so you might want to consider that along with overall safety, which I cannot comment on as I live in an Old Town bubble now.

Look into ones here in NoVa as well - you can take the metro down, and we have sooo many birding areas like Dyke Marsh and Huntley Meadows.

Loved that place, I still have a card for the wine on tap they did.

I like it, but I like bougie/luxury neighborhoods in general. I love Soho in NYC, I love the Domain in Austin - everyone else always calls them devoid of character, but the one thing DC is missing in my opinion to be the perfect city is some sense of how to do glamor.

I got some splashed on my foot once - it turned into a nasty rash within an hour. Never wore open shoes ever again in the four years I lived there.

Also...whatever that liquid actually is that builds up in the gutters around sidewalk street crossings.

This could definitely be it too - though it's not super narrow.

99.99% sure this is the Warehouse. Here's a pic https://warehouseoldtown.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/warehouse-atmosphere.jpg

I live across the street, great place. Ada's is my new place to recommend right on the water when you are here later this year!

Sounds like the Warehouse to me.

1799 wouldn't be open 5-6 years ago, it just opened. And Restaurant Eve closed before that.

Lol East then - wherever the outside trek begins after the split.

I would budget around an hour and 20 minutes - that's what it has been taking me to get from King St to Reston Town Center. There is a potentially long wait at Rosslyn, and the silver line for some reason slows the hell down after West Falls Church.

That was my immediate answer in my head when reading the title. So, seconded!

Honestly, I would love just a whole playlist of DC Go-go. I fucking love Go-Go - I am the random ass white girl dancing horribly in the middle of the dance floor every time I am somewhere with a live band.

It's glorious, I am outside basking and working and so happy.

It's a joke from The Great. But, yes.

Tooshe.

You might want to ask the nova subreddit as more will have experience with the question.

But keep is my vote. We have like 6 months of usable weather for it here.

Defense startup tech is getting fucking dollar bills right now. NSA gobbling it all up.

It's real - they were doing it in Old Town a couple weeks ago. Xfinity too, must be a system upgrade or something, but it was super annoying.

Ouch, I resemble that remark!

I will trade you for the trumpet player on King St who plays for three or four hours and only knows three songs - Adams Family, Girl is on Fire, and Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Just because I don't see it - heads up that New York residency requirement is 183 days. You might be looking at much higher taxes than VA.

Little of column a, little of column b is my guess

The cage rattling of the developers and commercial landlords is increasing. I could see a SOTU return to office announcement as a "Mission accomplished" kind of thing - leaders aren't going to be able to ignore the loss in tax revenues much longer.

Crystal City seems to have better service, though I like the layout and seating better in Bryant St.
