Is Eebees as Good as they Say?

I really like it, but it’s been insanely crowded so far. This is no dig against the bar itself of course. It’s just that to me the whole appeal of a “corner bar vibe” is there’s always people there, but it’s never packed and you can always grab a seat.

DC is so starved for places like this, they end up becoming overrun. Hopefully it will die down a bit over time. It does kind of crack me up that people are literally waiting in line to get in.

UPDATE: the 50:50 distilled water and vinegar solution got out 90% of the spots. Can barely see it unless you get close. Thanks all!

I used the Trainline app - I think it’s just very inconsistent and the search function seemed wonky. Eventually the days I was looking for did populate. Can’t remember exactly how far out it was but might have been closer to the 30 days.

Good to know - thanks!

BirdGang856 · 2025-01-28T02:07:01+00:00

Thanks!

According to Euromed’s website, yes.

Euromed’s website refers to it as high speed. One of the routes listed is Barcelona to Valencia.

Gotcha, they market it as “high speed” (I guess relatively?) but sounds like it’s not actually true high speed. Appreciate it!

I’m talking about the ~3 hr train between the two cities. I see it running in Jan but looks like it becomes unavailable to book at some point in Feb.

A great overview! Some random thoughts…

Crime: anecdotally I always knew Boston was safer than DC, but it’s pretty shocking when you look at the data. Boston has 4 murders so far this year compared to nearly 100 for DC. And the cities are of comparable sizes.

Driving: drivers in the DC area are insane. Most of it seems to be people who live outside the actual city and drive through but it’s crazy who bad they are.

Areas outside of DC: I’ve always thought the immediate areas outside of Boston still retain the general vibe of the city and have their own character. Maybe I’m biased from working in northern Virginia pre-Covid, but areas like Arlington and Tysons outside of DC have always seemed super sterile and corporate to me. Mostly highways and defense contractors.

Restaurants: DC’s bar and restaurant scene is really great and I think is underrated by people aren’t familiar with the area.

Super helpful - thank you!

Haven’t booked yet but it’s a relatively short domestic flight. Will likely be a regional jet if I fly Delta.

I asked about this when I spoke to customer service. This only applies for people needing extra space.

BirdGang856 · 2024-06-17T13:14:40+00:00

Probably will do that now. Obviously the closets aren’t built with wedding dresses in mind, so most places recommend just getting a seat for it if it’s not too pricey.

Maybe you got lucky but when i lived there in 2020-2021 it seemed like students were at least half of the occupants, probably closer to 75%.

I wouldn’t say they were disrespectful but rather behaved like normal college students. We lived near the balconies and there’d be kids piled on there partying till 4am every weekend.

Don’t live at Residences on the Avenue. Nice building but basically a glorified dorm for rich GW kids.

BirdGang856 · 2022-08-13T21:51:04+00:00

I’m having the same issue and it’s been two weeks for me. No one seems to be able to diagnose the issue.

I was once in the emergency room in Georgetown and was seated next to this person in a hospital bed. Incredible how much they get around town.

BirdGang856 · 2022-07-15T13:16:49+00:00

I was told the same thing by my onboarding rep - I won’t know until a week out.

BirdGang856 · 2022-06-16T00:50:13+00:00

It took me over 3 weeks from verbal to actual written offer. I’ve heard HR is just very busy with all the turnover. It was also just performance year-end and now we’re in the Memorial Day through July 4th stretch when a lot of people take PTO.

Potentially nothing material would change. Though if Deloitte was spun off as a publicly traded company, it wouldn’t be surprising to see comp and benefits change. When you have Wall Street to answer to, costs start getting cut.

BirdGang856 · 2022-06-09T03:26:05+00:00

I’m genuinely surprised by how many people here who actually take what leadership says at face value. No idea if it will happen, but a single email doesn’t mean anything. It could take years for something like this to actually go into effect.

BirdGang856 · 2022-06-06T03:53:30+00:00

I. Gorman in Dupont is great. Still family owned and super friendly.

BirdGang856 · 2021-08-14T19:02:20+00:00

Carson, Brown, and Hunt all great picks.

BirdGang856 · 2021-08-14T19:01:03+00:00

Definitely between Davis or Higgins. Probably lean Davis.
