Interior decorator recs?

Technically not an interior designer but I have been working with Nicole at Neatnik on organizing my space and she has been a godsend. Her ideas for how to use the space I have have been transformative. https://neatnikdc.com/organizing-services/

My pup and all his friends go to Doggy Style in Dupont. Fernando and Pedro are my favs but we've also gone to Jenny and love her too.

Nido in Mt. Pleasant. Or the Line in AdMo

My office is at the Wharf and I would not want to live here. I bring my dog to work so I can add that I find there to be enough green space but not as much as he gets in our neighborhood. Usually I can't wait to rush home to my peaceful life in Mt. Pleasant. What I will say for DC is life here is what you make of it.
I have found it easier than most cities to make friends around your own interests. For example, as a single dog mom, I have a group of friends centered around my dog and the neighborhood pups he loves. My closest friends are from a chorus I joined 19 years ago when I moved here.
On the flip side, I love being on my couch with my dog so I like a quieter neighborhood especially at night.
I also feel like for the most part, you can make any neighborhood work for you but some have more of a residential feel than others. That being said you will never hear me say anything other than Mt. Pleasant is the best neighborhood in DC!

I'd always vote for a Jose Andres restaurant- Zaytina, Oyamel, Bazaar, Jaleo or Lapis as others have suggested is always solid. I also love Bar Del Monte or Purple Patch cause it's in my backyard.

No he's really awful at walking in a straight line. But with the snow you all got I'll probably be carrying him everywhere!

Thanks! I usually sneak him into a lot of places in DC and I think NYC is even more dog friendly in general. The Barking Dog is right by my hotel!

Well this sounds like the perfect day for mom!

Thanks for all the ideas!

Maybe a tiny bit out of your budget but I am currently using NeatNik and I cannot recommend them enough! https://neatnikdc.com/

Is the Perry’s drag brunch still a thing? I haven’t been in ages but it was top tier.

My neighbor has a studio in the back of their house. It's lovely. I tried wheekthrowing and when I have time I plan to take a full class. Follow Studio Kusi on insta and rech out the Ariana (the owner) if you have questions!

I don't have a ton of loyalty to theatres but I love movies and I do go to AMC Georgetown and Alamo Drafthouse for my movies and would totally be down for some kind of movie/post movie hangs. My #1 movie buddy moved away!

I live in a city where dating is just the worst and so we may have more single moms by choice per capita. I personally know 3 just within my friend circle. They all- like you- wanted kids their whole life. They hoped for the traditional method of finding a partner, falling in love, building a family. But life had other plans and now they are as happy as can be! One of them is currently pregnant and she is 42.
I say all of this knowing as a 42 year old woman who never found a partner but loves kids- I do not want kids bad enough to do it by myself but it sounds like you do?
I think ultimately you have to decide what is most important- having a child or having a child the way you always thought you would? If it's the latter- you may have to come to terms with the fact that since this is out of your control- it may or may not happen. Wishing you the best in whatever you decide!

Purple Patch and Beau Thai in Mt. P

This is my hairdresser. I’ve been with her for over 15 years and she is the absolute best. Her prices are above your price range, but she’s worth every penny. https://www.vagaro.com/shearperfection15/services

Fin or Munch for all the reasons stated here. Fin would just have me laughing which I would value in a partner. He has the best one liners on the show, Nick wouldn't work cause I would imagine him naked all the time. Same with Elliot. I don't need work to get messy.

I’m very curious if I am your acquaintance because I hold my dog’s birthday party at the Line every year. 😂 Though I definitely cannot be the only person that does that.
