Last week I spent a few hours in Bethesda, MD. I hadn’t been there since I moved away from DC over 5 years ago and was curious to check out the various developments that have sprung up since then (including Marriott’s new headquarters). It was a beautiful day to be out and about! I also just found out this week that I will likely be relocating back to the DC area in a couple months for a job opportunity, so now I’ll be able to keep a closer eye on future developments in the region (including the under-construction Purple Line light rail). Of note, the photos in the restaurant areas were mostly taken a little before and a little after the core lunch hours, plus it was a Monday, so it looks a little quieter than is typical (though certainly changes related to Covid and increased telework have impacted the area as well). Also, these photos are mostly in random order.

And that’s all from Bethesda. Hope you enjoyed this glimpse of what I consider to be the best of Maryland’s DC suburbs.
