General Discussion

There are a few spots in Arlington VA.

Such as "restaurant row" in Crystal City (generally 500 block of 23rd Street S.), the area around the county courthouse, etc.

These are propped up by not-going-away factors such as the Pentagon (and to a lesser extent Amazon's HQ2) sort-of-near 23rd St., the courthouse around the Wilson Blvd/Clarendon Blvd intersection, etc. These are to some degree less subject to customer shock as prices rise due to restaurant food and labor cost increases.

But restaurants there have worse problems if they aren't in a "captive audience" location. As office occupancy rates decrease, those who depended on such customers often are hurting. And I suspect some who might have gone out (or ordered delivery) are instead eating groceries at home.
