Welcome to the bagel. Stop what you’re doing and send this to a friend 🙏 It helps me out a lot!

🍗 Raising Canes - Seven Corners - October Another Falls Church opening. But who doesn’t love Canes? Just in time for football season!
🌮 El Mercat - National Landing - Early 2025 Keep an eye for this Rockville staple’s new location near HQ2. They serve Spanish tapas.

Weigh in on new bridge The Long Bridge Drive Multimodal Connection is planned to connect Crystal City, Pentagon City and DC. You can learn about and comment on the project here.

Arlington has seafood gems in Quarterdeck (Rosslyn) and Seamore’s (Clarendon). Quarterdeck has some of the best (and biggest) blue crabs I’ve ever had. Seamore’s buffalo shrimp alone makes the meal worth it.

I cannot overstate how good Quarterdeck’s blue crabs are
