Last time I was in DC (Thanksgiving for two weeks in '97) my friend and I were
in an area near a college (we went on the metro) where there were little delis,
tatoo and piercing places, used music shops, and a big (and interesting) gay
and lesbian book store. We ate at a place that was about 1/2 vegan and most or
all vegetarian. There was live music, but you could sit far enough away that
it wasn't intrusive (IIRC there were two floors and the music was upstairs).
And it seemed to be staffed largely by lesbians. Do you know what that was
called? I ate like a pig, didn't spend a whole lot, and left many appealing
dishes untried...I'd like to go back.

Do you hike? I'm trying to figure how to hike the AT in the next couple years,
but scheduling that much time off once you've started a family is a real
problem.

Well I just picked that as one example. I buy processed sugar (Jack Frost)
that doesn't use bone charcoal as well as sugar in the raw. And sugar cane,
too. But I was really just pointing that out as one of the many nitpicky
examples that some people dwell on.
