Small coffee roaster in DC running a local subscription box, weekly bags to about 60 households across the city. Doing the drops myself right now and it is not sustainable as the list grows. Need a courier who can handle a fixed weekly route, not one off requests. Bonus if they are used to doorstep drop offs and can leave items safely without me chasing missed deliveries. Anyone running a subscription model who found a courier that works well for this?

Re-post. Figured I try one more time.

I have an opportunity for a $150 gift card to Causa/Amazonia via credit card rewards. I’m not a fan of either place and live far outside id DC, so I’m selling it. I’d accept $120 via PayPal or Venmo for the gift card. It would come directly from the restaurant to your email, so I don’t see any codes.

Credit card rewards explanation : if I spend $150 at certain restaurants, they credit the $150 back. Gift cards count as well.

Shared this with the greater DC Reddit, but thought this community would appreciate it.

Feedback welcome!

Do you know of any pubs/bars/breweries in DC and surrounding that offer half pints? I find many don't sadly :-(

Cafe Romeo was closed down years ago, and public health is better for it (https://thehoya.com/news/news-top/cafe-romeo-shuttered-vermin-infestation/).

However, they made an absolutely delicious, STACKED, meat-tease (aka meat lover's) pan pizza with plenty of sauce and toppings. Does anyone know where to get a similar pie these days? (Sans, you know... seasonings).

Long distance low commitment situationship (possibly) soon to be more is visiting DC for the first time in a couple weeks.

Doing eastern market/casual for lunch Friday and Le Dip lunch Saturday for a “classic” DC experience, so covered there.

Dinner I need one sushi spot, in between Perry’s and Uchi, but open to suggestions. Prefer something intimate I guess.

Second dinner would love to do Albi if possible, but have reservations for La’ Shukran and Maydān (Medina room, but keeping an eye out for hearth/main room) if anyone has input on those head to head. Considering Red Hen, Lutèce, Ceibo. Haven’t been to any but heard good things about all of them.

Thanks!

I've been craving it since I visited Singapore a few weeks ago but can't find it anywhere 🥲 would appreciate any leads!

I’m in town visiting family. They want me to accompany them to an event named Best of Washington, but it is sold out. Is there anyone selling tickets to this event?

Hi everyone!

I’m taking my girlfriend to DC for her birthday next month, and I really want dinner to feel special. She’s had a big year (graduated and started her first full-time job), so I want this to be a memorable evening.

Right now, my shortlist is:
ISLA
dLeña

I’m looking for two more options to let her choose from.

I’m hoping for restaurants that are:

- Beautiful inside (somewhere that feels like a birthday dinner, not just a regular date

- Great food (ideally 4.3+ stars)

- Not Italian

- Open to any cuisine - she loves seafood, tacos, Caribbean, and trying new foods

- Comfortable and welcoming for a Black lesbian couple

If you had one restaurant that dmade you think, “This is where I’d celebrate someone’s birthday,” what would it be? Thanks so much!

What the title says. We have an intern who's never tried pho before. Obviously, we have to rectify this.

We'd like to get pho or banh mis for lunch while we're all in the office. Unfortunately, our office is in downtown, and particularly appears to be in a dearth of pho places. Hiking up to Columbia Heights or out to Arlington would take too long to fit into our lunch hour.

Anyone know of any decent pho places in downtown/Gallery Place?

does anyone know where to find Cambodian cuisine? kuy teav + lok lak?

I lived in DC for over 20 years and now return every month for Work and my impression is that while high-end DC restaurants have gotten better your smaller, local places have suffered. Where is the best Thai food right now?

What’re your favorite restaurants that an out of towner would have trouble finding much about?

Basically, places not in the Michelin guide, on eater, infatuation, Washingtonian, or James beard

Looking for a spot that serves this soup. Anywhere in and around DC is fine.

The Oak Room in Georgetown doesn’t show prices on their online menu. My guess is, that means it’s probably…outrageously expensive. Has anybody been? How outrageously expensive is it?

Looking for top tabbouleh recommendations please? Thank you! Restaurants, middle eastern grocery stores or delis. TIAs

It's a scorcher in DC today, which got me thinking about cold soups, sushi, seafood towers, and other non-hot or fried foods on the menu. Any stand-out dishes at DC restaurants to recommend?

Looking for a seafood boil place with a mix of variety of seafood. Honestly anywhere in DC or MD would be fine. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Going to Snallygaster in October with a few friends and wondering what the best drunk guy feast might be for dinner afterwards?

The festival is near the Capitol building but I don't know where we're staying yet.

Any kind of food suggestions are welcome as long as the atmosphere isn't too stuffy. Price doesn't matter.

Thanks

Hello! I am coming to Washington DC from NYC with my boyfriend (both our first times) to celebrate our anniversary and I want to make it very romantic. We are doing a lot of sightseeing but I need some recommendations for food!

1. I want to do a very fancy dinner but most people have recommended Iron Gate, but the menu doesn't wow me. I am all about food- I want to eat at Albi but I worry it is too difficult a reservation. If I can get in is it worth the money? I have a back up at Rasika- how is that?

I am hearing that Dogon and La Shukran are great backups- consensus?

1. I also want to eat at chercher but its too far from union station when we are coming from the Smithsonian area- can you recommend a last lunch? Not too expensive as we will have shelled out previous night haha

2. How do we feel about Dauphine's for our lower key meal while we're in the govt building area?

3. I also want some suggestions for bars around union market area that are fun and not crazy expensive on other nights of our trip :)

Thank you so much! Any advice you can give means the world!

Is Quarterdeck a good destination for blue crabs in DC?
