RFK Stadium Neighborhood Guide
June 25th, 2006 | by jg3 |I’ve been to a few (or more) games at RFK stadium and done my share of waiting in the sea of sweaty fans at the Stadium/Armory Metro station escalators after the game. Invariably I have these two thoughts while waiting there just before I begin to make mooing sounds. First I start to wonder what would happen if some nutjob with a backpack full of bombs and/or keys were to be setting off his payload right about now… and then I quash the thought like a good American. The next thought I have goes something like, “I’m so done with this crowd, why the heck isn’t there a watering hole around here to wait in while these good people go home?”
So once I sought out Trusty’s Full-Serve but found that it was still a healthy walk from the park and walking there there alone (well, with about five new dodger-fan friends) I found that it wasn’t a bad place or experience, just not quite close enough.
And since the new stadium isn’t quite ready yet we, Nationals fans, need a place to whet our whistle, drown our sorrows, or celebrate the on-field successes all while staying away from the obvious target masses of sweaty bodies. To that end, NationalsPride.com has been so kind as to provide us all with The Unofficial Bar Guide for Nats Fans
Filed under: baseballWalking through these streets may be off-putting for some, but they are much safer than most fear, and can give a taste of DC like many have never seen. This is where the “real DC” lives and there is not a Starbucks, Austin Grill or Cheesecake Factory to be found.
