D.C. has too many restaurants. It's time for some to go.
The debate about the elimination of the special minimum tipped wage, as was noted in Marc Fisher's May 23 op-ed, 'In D.C.'s new world of eating out, when is a service fee a tip?,' ignores an inconvenient truth: D.C. has too many restaurants. I live in the Palisades. In my neighborhood, within three blocks of my house, there are six restaurants. If I extend that range to a still-doable 15-minute walk, there are four more. But I don't have a drugstore within that three-block radius, or a hardware store, or a bookstore, or a full-service grocery store. Restaurants make so much money that they can afford to pay higher rents than other kinds of stores, and the result is less variety in the local commercial market.

Picture them with a spring nap dress, a pair of dark denim or a sleek trouser. Marc Fisher Murphy Flat Sandals If want to wear sandals sans toe thong, consider these effortlessly chic Marc Fisher slides. They have a cushioned sole, are slim enough to throw in a weekender bag and are a great alternative to uncomfortable heels.

Whether taking them on a vacation or wearing them on a hike they always effortlessly blend functionality and affordability. This on-trend strappy pair is almost 40% off in the classic black finish. Tkees Square Toe Liri Sandals For something a bit more elevated than a rubber sandal try reaching for a pair of Tkees. They are ultra-lightweight, have a durable rubber outsole and will become your new favorite summer shoe. Today, they are a rare 53% off in this simple white color. Dolce Vita Lorali Heels We've all seen the resurgence of the tried and true kitten heel. Dolce Vita is changing the game with this slightly higher raffia pair. They're most definitely summer ready with its tan finish and buckle straps and are suited for a date night or brunch in the Hamptons.

Cole Haan Grandpro Crossover Sneakers For every casual dress occasion you have on the books, wear these shoes.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Top Sneakers If your wardrobe needs a more colorful sneaker element, you can't go wrong with these classic canvas Chucks. The hi-top sneakers lend a vintage touch to ensembles. Saucony Originals Ride Millennium Sneakers The dad shoe wave doesn't seem to be dying down. If you still haven't participated in the trend now is the time to do so. Saucony has made reliable kicks since the 1800s and our editors are big fans of the brand's trainers for running. Dr. Martens Ramsey Creepers From our perspective, Dr. Marten's shoes are something you can wear all year round. We love the thick sole on these lace-ups and adore the added white design at the tips. Dress them up with a suit or down with a pair of Dickies. Johnston & Murphy Collection Jared Lace to Toe Sneakers Casual leather kicks are a must-have in your shoe lineup.

They are made for hitting the trails and getting tons of steps in on walking-heavy vacations.
