You must not have grown up playing hockey… as a figure skater/hater of mornings, figure skaters had the shitty early morning hours and hockey players had the late nights. Regardless, hockey is fantastic and your argument is really ridiculous. Just because I never played football doesn’t mean I don’t love it! (College football that is)
Same… one time I exchanged numbers with a gay man saying “We should do brunch sometime!” It got really weird when he texted me the next day asking if I still wanted to do brunch…
This list makes me miss Chicago’s bar scene so much! Might be time to move back soon…
In Lincoln Park (since that’s where I grew up), Halligan’s, Lion’s Head, Gaslight and Tin Lizzie are all great.
Do you live in the burbs and have to take the Metra home every night? That’s the only reason I would understand such a comment. Maybe get out of the Loop and explore other neighborhoods too.
Much love,
Someone who grew up in Lincoln Park
I mean it would be a little difficult to organize for this weekend, but a DC thing would be a great idea! Quinn, dagoofjohn, etc. who wants to do something?
AdMo is not hipster. U St is not hipster. Columbia Heights… depending on where you are (i.e. not immediately near Target but more towards Park View) can be hipster. Shaw (or Bloomingdale) is more hipster, but even still is getting more clean cut. I’d say the DC hipster aesthetic is “I really want to be a hipster but I’m in DC so I have to wear a suit every day to work.”
I mean we really don’t have good pizza compared to New York… Also, Ethiopian is amazing and I am genuinely depressed Zenebech is gone! Salvadorian is great too, but give me injera any day.
^this… plus the fact that we do have a really awesome food scene for any taste (I’m getting Uighur tonight).
Also the cost of living is way less than New York, and any boyfriend (who grew up in manhattan and still wants to move back to NYC) laughed when the author said the prices were on par. Yes DC has its moments where I want to leave, but overall, I am happy I live here.
I was actually in this situation before my first date with my boyfriend over a year ago. He left for a work trip to Portland for a week and we agreed to have drinks when he got back. If you are into it, then just set a time to meet up after you return – she will understand!
I grew up a Cubs fan outside Chicago, and my parents sublet a home they flipped in Wrigleyville for a few years. If you’re saying you would rather be a Sox fan based on the area, you’re out of your mind. I would rather deal with drunk people on a regular basis in a thriving area than deal with a wasteland.
There’s nothing better than Wrigleyville in the summer, and I’m hoping to make it back for a few game or two this year.

You are welcome – recipe is here http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/open-face-chicken-salad-sandwiches-with-asparagus-and-prosciutto
Oh no — it’s amazing. Throw a little curry in that chicken salad, top it with prosciutto and you’re going to have the best sandwich of your life.

Yes! Finally doing this to celebrate it being back. I’m making paella because I need some sunshine on this cloudy day.

Duffy’s is closer to U and ETR is closer to Shaw, so I’m guessing no. Maybe James Hoban’s and Hank’s in DuPont?

I’m racking my brain for any other DC rooftop Mexican bar than El Centro in Georgetown… regardless of which one, QGP and I would be friends.
I also thought DC (and fainting goat/miracle on 7th) while reading this!
