Obviously, Bagels, etc. They're much more doughy than a NY/NJ bagel, but full of flavor.

I got a sandwich from there a few weeks ago

I'm partial to A Litteri, A Deli (edit: DC location closed), and TBSP

It's infrequent, but there have been people going the wrong way during rush hour. It's, predicability, bad.

Not quite a neighborhood, but my favorite residential street to walk is Q St NW. From Georgetown University, to Georgetown to Dumbarton Bridge, to Dupont, to Logan Circle is a straight shot with interesting 1800's architecture the whole way. With a little jog you can continue to Truxton Circle and NE (but I rarely go that far).

No, not a positive. You can't both make tax revenue and be a net positive for the average player. In person at least has entertainment value, govt run (e.g scratch offs) is at least is mostly public revenue, but virtual and private is loose-loose.

Schedule vs GPS

I don't know if this press release changed, but according to them

This. I had a work trip with a bunch of connections, but via LA. Instead of one fewer transfer by going through Dulles, it was much easier to go national --> Atlanta -> la.

The above with all the broader DC venues, but in Falls Church, state theater can be a lot of fun. Venue holds 850.

It's https://virginiabreeze.org/routes/ (uses megabus for ticketing), which stops right at the main terminal building.

Bus is once a day at 1040. I think op will use all of the 2h30, but it should be plenty.

I love how they can themselves "the preferred choice". Like, preferred to what?

I don't agree with that, they just meet a different set of criteria than a great personal bike. They are heavy and the gears are slow, slower, slowest. But, they are able to accommodate many rider sizes and survive in the elements pretty well.

That doesn't make them free from maintenance (they need more..), best for moderate-long rides (not their target market), or ergonomically preferable to any but the most average of riders (for my 6'3 body, the handlebars are a little low for the style of bike, but the seat height can be adjusted perfectly).
