10 Etiquette Tips For D.C. Locals Not Trying To Get Ahead In Washington [View all]

1. Stand to the right on the Metro escalator!

2. It’s time to retire, “I would never cross the river for [insert person, thing, activity].”

3. D.C. isn’t just a place for fancy restaurants or business dinners.

4. When meeting someone new, avoid asking “What do you do for work?” right out the gate.

5. Limiting dogs in public spaces.

6. Trying to impress a first date? Try a fun walking tour and dinner off U Street rather than The Wharf with its prerequisite ‘waterfront tax’


2 is baffling to a daily border crosser like me. My range stretches from northern Virginia up to Baltimore. Having that wider range has helped me procure supplies during the COVID shortages. There is fun stuff to do everywhere but some folks choose to miss out.
