Pet peeve of DC #bikedc Twitter is posting photos of cars blocking bike lanes that aren’t even complete. Brings out the outrage because many people don’t get the context

I don’t love the car parking in the new Pennsylvania Avenue bike lane, but I respect the parallel parking skills. Bravo, scofflaw.

Doing a Thursday train day trip to Manhattan later this month - inviting friends to meet me but have to be 5-10 min walk from Penn Station. Any suggestions for a bar for happy hour with solid food in that area? Already got some good suggestions from

Here’s the building coming to the current-unfair-advantage-to-Union-Market-over-other-DC-food-halls surface parking lot. Union Market building is on the lower right. I believe new building will still have free underground parking, in part funded by DC government

dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blog/ The buildings are quite nice! I’m looking forward to saying bye-bye to more surface parking.

$$ - ppl know the market is in there somewhere. Can’t find the plans for the building going on the main lot - anyone have a link? Also anyone know if they’re still planning to build an office building over the market?

Why would they build a condo in that lot? You gonna sandwich the Market in between two big ass condos so it can’t be seen? DC Real Estate Development companies are so unserious twitter.com/barredindc/sta…

recently launched their daily HH 4-6p which is pretty solid - $4 off their cocktails is a nice deal. More capacity and a bar on their rooftop should be coming soon

This used to be Rebellion, now it’s @VagabondDining - pretty impressive transformation. Great cocktails at a great price point for DC ($13). Beachy vibes twitter.com/BarredinDC/sta…

Invited (via a $70 gift card) to try Spacebird - the delivery/takeout only Malaysian-roast chicken menu at Makan/Thirsty Crow in Columbia Heights. Some of best roast chicken in DC with some awesome sides like the 🌶️ Thai basil fried rice, tumeric cabbage, cold sesame noodles.

Cheap food is actually *really* expensive. You can get processed food off the dollar menu or w/ a low price tag. But it causes: 💰diseases that burden our healthcare system 💰environmental damage we need to fix Taxpayers are paying for this cheap food, we just don’t know it

Wow - NBC paying an extra $110 million to move the game they already have paid for to instead show on Peacock streaming in prime time first day of playoffs. Game will still be free on local broadcast (and this local cable) for markets participating in game.

What the Mayor put forth was a much tighter budget than recent years. I think if you add up what we’ve managed to do, we were able to find considerable resources for the city's needs. My press release: bit.ly/MendelsonFY24 Full budget proposal: ChairmanMendelson.com/2023/05/15/mar
