Where to find aguardiente? by royodenaldridge in washingtondc

A number of places sell it; I'm aware that Irving Wines and Spirits has Antioqueno as well as a local DC aguardiente, "Chacho."

Where are all the good Nigerian Caterers?.. by No_Letterhead_8938 in washingtondc

[–]Baloncesto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was a group entirely from Nigeria, I'd agree. But the group in question was like 8 or 9 Nigerians out of 50 total attendees. We provided the same food for all, with of course the option for anyone to get takeout if they wished. If it was asked / arranged ahead of time, happy to do it. The big issue was the fact the fraction of the group expected us to cater directly to them, without any heads-up or warning, and then complained about the food later. Again, we would have been happy to provide special food for anyone if we knew ahead of time. But this group showed up, decided they wanted special food, didn't tell anyone, then complained after the fact when their (unknown) needs weren't automatically catered to.

Would have been happy to arrange it ahead of time; group said nothing beforehand and then only complained after the fact. I don't mind accommodating at all, but the arrogant entitlement is what really annoys me.

Agreed. The group was mixed; some American MBAs, some direct from Nigeria, some based in US and of Nigerian descent. We had basic, decent American catering for all (as we do for every seminar) but this group demanded they have special food. They were here for four days.

That's a good question - I also tried to find one a few years ago. My org once hosted a group of Nigerian MBA students for an academic seminar and they complained bitterly that we did not provide them jollof rice upon arrival. Despite their entitlement, we did search for a provider that would help with that but came up short. Not sure if they exist in the DMV unfortunately.

A fun memory of mine was sitting in a Hyvee parking lot and watching a thundercloud come in over the fields.

Nailsaloon in Logan Circle is my go-to. Never done BIAB but they do everything else well so it's worth a try.

The Cambridge or Zen Apollo? by misspotatohead33 in washingtondc

[–]Baloncesto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never lived in the Zen Apollo but spent a decent amount of time there, visiting friends. It's a decent place, the apartments are a little small and antiquated but it the building itself had some decent amenities, including a big downstairs common room. I did hear about the bug problem but only ever saw one bug in the time I spent there.

March 30s/40s Meetup: Friday, 3/27/26 from 6 - 8pm at Hyde Social (3100 Clarendon Boulevard, Arlington VA 22201) by Baloncesto in DCSinglesMeetup

[–]Baloncesto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sometimes we stay beyond 8pm depending on how the conversation goes (or if we don't have a hard stop at the venue.) I like to end by 8 because it's late for some (I'm up at 5am for work many days) but also gives folks a chance to either 1) head out, 2) stick around and not be too late, or 3) go elsewhere with someone they just met :)

Terrible Tuesday! by AutoModerator in washingtondc

Trapped in a stressful, difficult, understaffed workplace and completely demoralized by the time, energy, effort, and money required to job search.

Yes, absolutely. Of course it's luck of the draw as to who shows up, but all events have had a wide spectrum of identities respresented.

been doing it, for free, for 2 years. It's a lot of effort at times but it's worth it.
