There are 200 restaurants within a 2 block radius of my office, including two malaysian places and two “House of Kabobs”.

Food in general is quite expensive, but there are several places where it’s fairly cheap, if you hunt around a bit.

This is definitely a “Who do you know” kind of town.  Unfortunately most of the interesting people I know in person are all on the west coast or down south.   I know a few interesting bloggers in the DC area, and I am looking forward to meeting them.

Given the time it takes to get to the airport, get through security and get the plane off the ground, I’m not sure that a 2 hour and 45 minute train ride is meaningfully shorter.

Plus, it’s a big adventure, since I’ve never taken a non-commuting train ride before.

I hope they have power outlets
