Reply to fresh tortillas? by Captain_Canada3325
Savemart Riverdale has a small bakery in the back of their store that sells freshly made, hot corn tortillas. I learned about it from a previous Reddit post and they’re great. Make sure to bring cash - I’m not sure if they take card. Savemart Riverdale (301) 699-5550 https://maps.app.goo.gl/AKrAEB8CYmWcyTyX6?g_st=ic

Reply to CM Pinto introduces legislation to reduce vehicle noise, pilot noise cameras by A_Swell_Gaytheist
I take the point that the enforcement mechanism for this kind of thing is broken in DC, but I do think that reducing vehicle noise is a worthwhile goal, so it’d be cool if something could be figured out. In an ideal world, it would affect the ATV’s and dirt bikes too, which are loud as hell!

Reply to Best places to go walking in DC? by jolygoestoschool
+1 for Hains Point, walking from DuPont into Georgetown is nice, and it’s nice to walk by the Spanish steps in DuPont.

Reply to Things DC does really well by erichinnw
Obviously the metro can and should be improved, but compared to most other cities’ public transit infrastructure it’s really good. Lots of stops, relatively clean stations and cars, and well integrated with an enormous bus system that, together, will help you get anywhere.
Also, if you include the larger metropolitan area, DC has an enormous variety of immigrant food. Beyond the well known classics like Ethiopian (everywhere) and Vietnamese in Eden Center, you can find SO many cuisines to explore - Pakistani, Caribbean, Korean, West African, Central American of all sorts, Malaysian, Laotian, Filipino, the list goes on and on.
And if you’re a cook or home chef in DC, you can find almost any ingredient or specialty kitchen tool you could possibly imagine. There are soooo many good, local farmers and ranchers in MD, VA, WV, and PA who sell in the city, meaning you can get produce and proteins that are as good as the best stuff used in Michelin-starred restaurants. Just go to the DuPont farmer’s market in the Spring if you want to see for yourself. Foraged mushrooms, incredible salad greens, 40-month aged ham that’s as good as the best ham you could import from Spain, pasture-raised duck and chicken, and award-winning bloomy rind cheeses, just to name a few. For instance, the chef at The Dabney (Michelin-started and named Washingtonian’s top restaurant in the city) and I can get produce and local meat from the same local vendors who sell at Dupont. He’s better at cooking it, but we both get to use the same amazing, high quality ingredients.
