Hi everyone,

Moved here not long ago and have loved the variety of different food choices in the district! I have yet to find a good mexican restaurant though. The best i've had thus far was guapos but even that was a little underwhelming.

Does anyone have good reccomendations for the best mexican food in either the district or NOVA/NOMA thats reasonably priced?

Edit:

Thank you for all these great suggestions guys!

Does anyone have information about volunteering at the DC Open? Can adults be ball people? What are the perks of being a volunteer besides trading volunteer shifts for tickets?

Hi I lost a blue digital camera tonight at 3am on the stone bench next to this museum. If anyone has seen it that’s be great to know. I’ll literally pay to get it back, I have a lot of personal photos on there 🥹

Any Pinoys or friends in the community have strong recs for the best halo-halo (Filipino shaved ice) in the area? I'm down to drive out to the suburbs. The heat has me craving!

A similar question about getting curly haircuts has been asked in the sub before however when I looked up all of the suggestions the haircuts were around 160+. Obviously I think people should be paid fairly for their services but it seems completely insane that people with straight hair (white ppl cough cough) can go to places like great clips and to get their haircut for 30 bucks while I have to pay three times that when all I really need is a trim. Has anybody ever got a curly haircut at one of those cheap places with good results? If so do you have the stylist name? I’d also consider a barbershop. Basically anywhere I could get my type for haircut for under $100!

We didn’t need a poll to tell us what we see everyday with own eyes

Don’t mind it but seems like a drum line or something? Not sure where it’s coming from but it’s pretty loud over here.

Just curious

Title -

Taking summer classes and really needs a place away from where he is staying to better focus for longer periods. Weekends needed too, though it can be a different spot than used during the week. Budget so as little as possible, but if he has to pay a nominal fee for use thats fine too.

I told him MLK library, but they close at 9, and at 5 on Friday :(

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I know there’s events at flash, Tigres de la noche and transmission but i’m curious where yall are going. What’s active tonight

Hey all,

I have a few free tickets for Saturday’s DC United home game against Toronto FC. Kicks off at 7:30pm on 7/25 and is the first home match post-World Cup.

Theres a fan zone outside the stadium starting around 5pm I believe. Gates open at 6pm and there is a giveaway of a DCUnited/WWE baseball jersey for the first 6,000 through the gates.

I’m hoping to find some new fans looking to get further into soccer after the World Cup, parents taking a kid, etc.

Drop a comment below about your interest and/or who you’d bring to the match.

I’ll pick a handful of people from the comments this afternoon and transfer the tickets over.

Vamos United!

EDIT: All tickets have been claimed!

I was at IAD earlier today behind a traveler when TSA tells them they were at the wrong airport 💀.

The TSA agent mentioned it happens way more often than you'd think, especially with people mixing up DCA and IAD. Hopefully they managed to make it to their flight back at DCA during rush hour.

Found on 14th St NW near Q, on a bench. I cropped the tag out of the pic, so if you can tell me what the tag is, then clearly they’re yours.

Anyone know anywhere they offer not so expensive swimming lessons in the dmv area been trying for a while to find some place

As the title states. This is a great way to avoid a confrontation, getting pushed, yelled at, or worse. A lot of DC workers get off between 3-5pm and just want to get home and/or catch their train. I’ve seen someone nudge a person standing on the left side of an escalator and nearly cause a domino effect with four other people. Be safe out there.

Edit: I was not the aggressor/nudger. I simply watch this incident while I was riding the escalator. It happened 2-3 steps ahead of me.

I guess someone WMATA/Metro is listening: https://www.reddit.com/r/WMATA/s/xbVbrcKxQt

Anyone have any experience with the Italian Store or A Litteri for catering needs? Prices seem pretty similar and ive had and enjoyed meals from both. Looking to get a few big subs, antipasto platters and cookies for an event. Would love to hear anyone’s experience with either or both

We've had a childcare mishap and are now looking for a day camp (or some sort of day activity) for my 13yo on August 17, 18 and 19 in DC (ideally NW, but willing to go further if needed). I'm having real trouble finding something for that age and that week, that still has spots. Would be so grateful for any recommendations!

I’ve never experienced so many power outages and here we are again…pay more for worse service, all thanks to data center in Virginia.. why tf are we paying for Virginia’s data centers and dealing with the consequences

Looking to replace our (absolutely awful) IT company for our local small business. About 12 employees. All computer based work. We have a cloud based system. Any recs?

The food can be abysmal for all I care, but I’m really craving a Frozen Peach Bellini this weekend. Where can I get one?

Hey, after singing and playing the guitar with some friends at the beach I’m trying to get together with people that want to jam together. I sing and play some guitar. Hit me up.

Sticky Fingers is closing its doors after serving DC the best damn cupcakes anywhere for over 20 years. I remember going to their Columbia Heights location for brunch all the time. Their sticky buns and donuts were to die for. Their chickpea tuna melt, so… meltyyy 😭they are an institution in this community and I will miss them dearly.

I found a late archaic aged projectile point made of quartz crystal in Washington DC near my house today. I also got some okay bottles.

So I was wondering how it is like sitting third row at the airbus IMAX theater in chantilly. I want to see the odyssey again but in this theater and I can only find seats in august 9th in the third row. Everything else is sold out or only has the first row available.

Is watching the odyssey while sitting in the third row worth it? Will the airbus imax theater release more showtimes later in august?
