Not quite the same, but I like Mezeh.

hip hop catfish nuggets (or fillets) are the best.

Do you have space to hang a small garment bag? If so, on Monday bring in one week's worth of clothes (remember you can wear blazers multiple times, etc.). On Friday, take them home and lather, rinse, repeat. Also, your work shoes can just live at work. Depending on your job/style you can leave things to re-wear at work. (There was an experiment where a guy wore the exact same suit/shirt/tie every day for a year and no one ever commented on it.)

Pro tip: Celebrate the weekend before or after.

Smaller crowds, often better food (less rushed), and cheaper flowers.

Thanks - I checked their menu and didn't see it, but I'll give them a visit and try for off-menu.

You seem like you have a clue - where can I find Three Cups Chicken (San Bei Ji / 三杯鸡 )? My go-to was lost in the explosion a few years ago.

New indoor pickleball in northern Columbia Dill Dinkers. Plenty of classes.

While you are there, get a pizza bagel - they're great! (at least the DC locations, never tried the MD ones).

The "salad and sides" lunch is a sleeper hit for $15/pp (in Baltimore). Plenty of proteins on the salad bar - bacon, charcuterie, etc. Less than the price of Five Guys burger, drink, and fries.

I think they mean that they check their luggage rather than leaving it at the end of the cars.

I've never seen a Poodle with such gravitas.

They make "neutering" dongles that physically only have the power lines/pins attached.

It looks like red pandas live 8-12 years in the wild, so while sad for Rusty, he at the top of his curve. (in zoos, up to 14 years, but maybe he was living his best life in Adams Morgan.)
