As a fellow Texan, agreed on most of your points but I have 2 disagreements:

  1. I’m wondering which city you’re from if you think the food is good in DC. There’s some nice spots but they’re more difficult to find, away from the tourist areas, and the other good ones are very very expensive.

  2. People are a lot less friendly here than in Texas, it’s a pretty stark contrast actually.

Hey bud,

  1. Houston. It’s not that it beats Texas (I was missing Mexican food), but rather we were very happy with the food. You kinda expect crappy touristy food in a lot of places. Maybe we’re easy to please.
  2. I found them to not be as overtly friendly (more minding their own business and not looking to start conversations) but anyone we interacted with was wonderful.

I’m from Houston and yea the food from dc is pretty good. Some of the best Chinese food I’ve had.

I spent 3 days in dc and 3 days in Philly and took the Amtrak from Philly to dc. Man how I wish we had that here. Being able to go to Austin or Dallas would be awesome.

The subways in dc and Philly are pretty sweet. I only had to use Uber a few times when I got lost but google maps is pretty good at telling you what train to get on.

From what I experienced the people there where very friendly. I would be on a park bench eating a hot dog and people would just come up and talk to me, it was nice. And I didn’t know how to use the subway when I got to dc and a nice lady saw that I didn’t know what the hell I was doing and went over and explained to me how it works.
