But they don't work that hard down there. Trust me, if you got put on a desk at J.P. Morgan and started working those bonecrushing hours, you would begin to see how slow DC is. There's not even late night car service in DC. If you work late in DC, you take a cab home. If you work late in NYC, the firm has already got a car service lined up for you. And that's because the hours bankers and transactional lawyers (and I bring up lawyers because those are the "hard workers" in DC) put in are so much longer than the hours regulatory people put in.
Are we talking about NYC or Chicago? Is any city like NYC? Why are you comparing us to NYC pace of life? Did someone say DC was on NYC's level? Who said that lol?
Have you been to Shaw or Bloomingdale lately? Seems like a new restaurant opens every week. North Capitol of all streets has places opening now. The McMillian plan also is about to be approved so that is changing at lighting pace right now. NOMA is coming up from the south too and Brookland is closing in from the east.
Given that I have a financial stake in the neighborhood, yes. There are like 5 places to eat in Bloomingdale: Boundary Stone, Bacio, Rustik, Aroi, and maybe one or two others. And there's not much in the way of commercial period. Compare that to Fulton Street in Bed-Stuy.

The first screenshot has tons of stores and more pedestrian traffic than anywhere in DC. The second has almost no stores and has little if any pedestrian traffic.

LOL....you just posted ground zero for that neighborhood. There is a major apartment building coming to that corner. There are so many plans for that whole stretch it's not funny. The firehouse restaurant is open now with like 100 outdoor seats so that doesn't even look like that. That entire place is going to be booming in 3 years lol.....come on guy!
Keep in mind Downtown Chicago has ~20 EL stations compared to probably ~10 for DC, so there are more on/off options for Chicago.
Anyway you slice it, those numbers are pathetic for a city of 2.7 million people. Chicago should easily have over a million EL riders a day. New York has 6 million in a city of 8 million.
You should think about moving to Harlem. It's cheaper than DC and some parts are actually safer. And you'd have 8 restaurants just on your side of the block alone.

if you add in the regional rail they do - remember that METRO is sort of hybrid and functions part subway and part more like regional rail
