Best advice in DC if you're getting an uber near a busy/surge area.

It's a walkable city so just walk like a half mile away and call your uber there instead. Often will save you $10 and quite a few minutes.

Agree, however Echostage is not in a great location for a single woman to be walking around at 3AM.

The immediate vicinity has a (classy) strip club, gas station and questionable motel. The surrounding area is somewhat industrial bordered by low density residential which is not particularly high income.

I wouldnt walk .5 mile in that hood to save $20 personally. Not worth it. It's not dupont circle.

This is the best advice, but Echostage is a different beast. I would only recommend doing it in a group, but the best place to easily catch an Echostage uber is to walk north on Queens Chapel into the residential parts of Langdon around Evarts/Franklin Street. And I’d also suggest to NEVER request a ride on the southside at Bladensburg or New York Avenue after a show because you’re gonna wait a while and pay big $$$ for it.
