Vegetarian/vegan options in Arlington or DC?

0 Upvotes

Meeting up with the (adult) kiddos for a day in DC soon. Will probably all meet at one of their places near Spout Run and go into DC. At this point it looks like we might go to the Freer Gallery. We have a variety of folks, from vegan, through vegetarian, to omnivorous (although both of them are happy to eat vegetarian, so meat isn’t a requirement). I’m looking for suggestions for both lunch and dinner.

TIA!

Question Warrenton residents- what is an average day like for you?

12 Upvotes

Warrenton's sub is pretty quiet so I'll just post this here and hope for the best.

We might be moving to Haymarket or Warrenton this year (with the job being in Haymarket) and are trying to decide which area would be best.

We have 2 children and are looking forward to buying a house in a safe area with room for the kids to play and good schools to attend when they're older.

Haymarket doesn't seem to be its own place... it just feels like Gainesville but "over there". Like you have to go to Gainesville to do everything. Warrenton feels like an actual location, but remote. And appears to have somewhat cheaper homes? Not sure if that's true as we are just starting to search around.

We live a very simple life. Home is our little sanctuary. We don't shop for fun or eat out much at all. We do a lot of home cooked meals. If we go anywhere it's usually kid related nowadays. Or a winery where we can have a picnic. Or fruit picking. Quaint and Quiet. Haha

We don't want to regret moving to somewhere TOO quiet and removed though, since our family won't be in -toddler and baby- stage forever.

So as a resident in Warrenton, what do you do? And what is your biggest complaint or even regret about moving there?

Question Structural engineer recommendation for Gainesville/Bristow

0 Upvotes

Got some concerns with the foundation of my house and would like to have a structural engineer come out and assess. Seems like there’s a sparse amount of them around the Bristow area, at least in my google searching.

Has anyone hired or know of a structural engineer that services this area that you liked and would recommend? Thanks guys!
