I just moved to DC from Brooklyn and rather than spending several years trying to figure out where to ride, what to eat, and all the rest, I figured I'd ask you friendly folks. I posted in this forum since I've noticed quite a few DC people here.

Anway, just wondering where y'all like to ride, in and out of the city. Any other suggestions - veggie restaurants (thai, mexican, in particular), interesting sights, places to get good stuff cheap, would be helpful too. You know, the places that you wish you knew about when you first got here. By all means keep your favorites to yourself if you don't want the world to know about them - just tell me what's second best.

Oh, and I'm all for exploring, I just don't know where to begin here. It's a whole nuther world. Quite different from NY.

Thanks!

P.S. I'm in Takoma Park, if it helps, but I'll be in the city plenty so anywhere is fair game.
