Moochers!
I traveled to downtown DC to attend a street festivity called Taste of DC sponsored by many small and big name restaurants. There you could pay $15 to buy 10 tickets to be spent at any of the 60 kiosks. An egg roll was $3, a chicken shiskebob was $9. After several hours and a visit to the port-a-pottie row, I decided to check out the adjacent Freedom Plaza event sponsored by October 2011, one of 2 economic protest groups currently camped in DC. Feeling hungry again, I went to the food tent and had a very tasty bowl of brown rice with chile on one side and vegetable stew on the other. Not being a moocher I gave them $5, it was a much better value.
