Washington, DC @lemmy.ml JoYo @lemmy.ml dining fees in DC
www.washingtonian.com The Battle Between DC Diners and RestaurantsThe relationship between restaurants and diners is more fraught than ever.
I'm totally fine paying for quality at restaurants but lately I haven't been all that inspired.
A single meal goes from $20 to $30 at a minimum and it's all been mediocre even from known goods.

Washington, DC @lemmy.ml nmill11b @lemmy.ml Accessible evnts in DC
Wow -- first post in here!?
My folks are coming to town, but unfortunately one of them will be wheelchair bound mostly.
The smithsonian museums are great, but will be challenging to navigate (have done before with wheelchair)
Any more accessible things to do? Also, bonus if they are toddler enjoyable envents. Im thinking maybe Brookside gardens.
Also, a side note: if you have younger kids-- the Dr. Suess event at Tysons Galleria is great!!
