I have to do a summer project for my Spanish 3 class and one part of it is to find a restaurant that serves Latin/Spanish food. It can NOT be a chain restaurant like Taco Bell, Chipotle, etc. Any restaurant in DC, MD,or VA would be great. Thanks for all help!What are some Spanish/ Latin American restaurants?

Consider this one for what appears to be an authentic Spanish Restaurant located in Wash DC:
http://www.churreriamadrid.com
I googled "authentic Spanish Restaurant" and this one popped up. The menu is very much Spanish (cuisine typical of Spain)....(not to be confused with Mexican or Brazilian charruscarria type restuarants)
If it was in Los Angeles, this one is really good and as authentic as you can find. Here's the link if you want to look at this as FYI, and compare menus with the above link too:
www.restaurantspain.net
Typical Spanish cuisine are:
Paella (rice dish)
Tapas (various types of appetizer size dishes)
Spanish tortilla (similar to an Italian Frittata....and not to be confused with the Mexican style corn or flour tortilla. Google "spanish tortilla" to get some recipes and images)

Looking for interesting activities in DC. The weirder the better?
I am looking to make a checklist of things to do in the DC area while I am living here. I don't really want the ordinary stuff like museums or restaurants or whatever. I'd like to find some more interesting, obscure activities, sites, etc. So if you have any, feel free to share.Looking for interesting activities in DC. The weirder the better?
For starters, pick up a copy of the Mondo DC travel guide of wacky and bizarre sites in the area; some other off-the-beaten-track attractions/activities include:
* National Museum of Health and Medicine at Walter Reed Army Medical Center
* The Exorcist Steps in Georgetown
* National Cryptologic Museum
* The Roman catacombs under the Franciscan Monastery (Brookland)
* Dinosaur Land (Winchester, VA)
* The Great Stalacpipe Organ at Luray Caverns
* Local ghost tours
A few things I would check out are:
1. The Paddle Boats at the Tidal Basin, it's only 8 bucks for a 2 passenger boat and you get really cool views of the monuments.
2. Screen on the Green which project movies onto a huge screen on the National Mall and it's totally free. It happens during the summer on Monday nights.
3. The Commandants Own, since you are in DC I would really check this out. This is pretty much the only place you can see this happen. It goes on I think from May - August on Friday Evenings at the Marine Barracks and Tuesday evenings at the the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial.
4. DC Kite Festival, it's pretty cool to see a bunch of kites flying above the Mall. Always happens in March.
5. Folk Life Festival, which happens in the summer on the National Mall. It's pretty cool if you're into crafts and things.
I know I mentioned stuff that happens in the summer, but DC is just so cold!Looking for interesting activities in DC. The weirder the better?

Well,you could go next to the white house and there you would have a private tour and you and your fiance will see fireworks there and you would have the best New Year in your like and hey ,maybe you might see Obama.

Restaurants at Union Station in Washington DC?
thinking about taking a day trip to the MLK memorial at the National Mall. are there any restaurants in and around union station in dc that are open 24 hours a day?Restaurants at Union Station in Washington DC?
There are no 24-hour restaurants in that area; it's very quiet around there at night since the area is mostly offices. Some of the fast-food places in Union Station (like McDonalds) have pretty late hours (I think 5AM - midnight). If you're going to be arriving earlier (or later) than that I would bring some food along.
There Is A Pancake House Around That Area Enjoy Washington.Restaurants at Union Station in Washington DC?

When did subway start selling pizza?
I walked in a subway restaurant in dc a couple days ago and they sell pizza, when did they start that. Has anyone tasted it ?When did subway start selling pizza?
i never knew that...it's not like that where i live
I heard about that a few months ago. The store I was working at was signing up to sell them. I didn't think they'd sell very well in our area. Though I didn't get to try them, I left before we started selling them.When did subway start selling pizza?
all the subways in my area started selling pizzas about a month ago. though i have to say if i wanted pizza i would go to pizza hut. lol i go to subway for there great sandwiches not there pizza. lol
cuz they want to make more money!!!!!!!!!!!!
It might be just local to that area ...mine doesn't..I was just there.
Can't say I've seen pizza on the menu here in Cleveland.
They must have just started that. I'd say it's because they saw how popular their meatball subs have been. That's all my son eats there, but now he might eat the pizza too.
Like around January they started selling pizza
sorry but i didnt know that quiznos is way better mmmmmmm toasty
Not in any Subway I've every seen.
i think it depends on wich one you go to b/c some have salads and BuRGERS and some dont
havnt heard about that
Subway's a franchise so it just might be the only one that sells pizza.
i didnt know they did....i would guess they wouldnt be that good
they have been selling the breakfast pizzas at our subway for a few months. what a waste, i took one bite and fed the rest to my dog. and they are also very tiny, not much bigger than a slice of bread.
They started selling them around here and I tried the pepperoni and sausauge ones and it's not bad actually.I like it.I think it's pretty good.
But yea I think this is recent.
I'm in NY
Have not once seen a SUBWAY selling pizza!
The pizzas aren't at every Subway yet. Subway started selling the pizzas around Jan. of this at about 30 stores around the nation. In fact there isn't any nutrition information on the pizzas at the main Subway site. (In Idaho they don't sell pizzas yet). They are planning on selling pizzas to an additional 13,000 stores this summer. Pizzas should be 2.99 for a cheese pizza. Vegetables and extra cheese will be no additional cost, but meatballs or any meat topping will be extra.
I did not know that.
Oh my gawd they do? I pretty surprised i havent tasted it yet (yes i eat a lot bu surprisingly its hard for me to put on weight but im koo)hmmm pizza sounds good right now.haha.but they probably only sell it ther they dont sell it anywere near me!haha
They have pizza now?

What is the name of this restaurant...?
When I was younger, my dad took me to a Morrocan restaurant in DC. It was wonderful...you sat on the floor on pillows, ate with your hands and there was a belly dancer. I'm pretty sure it started with an "M." Does anyone know what I'm talking about and/or if it still exists? I'm travelling to DC in a few weeks and I'd love to take my husband there but I can't remember the name of it.
Thank you!What is the name of this restaurant...?
It is still there, located on New York Avenue.
It's called the Marrekesh restaurant.

Java Green, 1020 19th St NW
Amma Vegetarian Kitchen, 3291 M St., N.W.Are there any good veg restaurants in dc or md?
Plenty! I'm a huge fan of Sticky Fingers Bakery, which has become a darling vegan cafe since its move a few months ago.
Java Green in downtown DC is pretty cool and very green (wind powered). It's 90 percent vegan (a few sandwiches have cheese, and they offer organic milk).
There's Vegetate, the closest thing DC has to an upscale vegetarian restaurant.
In Adams Morgan, there is Amsterdam Falafelshop, which just serves falafel and fries so is de facto vegetarian.
In Maryland, I like Vegetable Garden (it's right near the White Flint Metro station) and Yuan Fu (about six blocks south of the Rockville Metro station). Out in College Park is a little cafe called Berwyn Cafe. It's not my favorite, but I'll eat there every once in a while.
Up in Clarksville is Great Sage, which has its ups and downs. There's a fantastic grocery store called Roots and a natural pet food store called Bark there. It's all part of "Conscious Corner." It's not accessible by public transit.

i highly recommend Yuan Fu in Rockville, MD. They have the best chinese vegetarian food. They substitute tofu like ingredients for the meats. The food is fresh and flavorful, I don't miss the meat!

Depending where you live, here is a great link to find the perfect restuarant for your special day! This is my favorite website to find a great restuarant.

Has anyone dined at the 1789 Restaurant?
I'm looking to take my wife out for a romantic dinner while on vacation in Washington DC. Would this be a good choice? Any other ideas?Has anyone dined at the 1789 Restaurant?
Excellent choice. We go there to celebrate birthdays and the like. The service is extremely good, the several dining rooms are small and intimate, and the food is a little stodgy but well prepared. Not cheap but worth the money and a fine place for a romantic dinner.
1789 is good. I can also recommend Restaurant Eve in Old Town, Alexandria (just across 5 miles down the George Washington Parkway from 14th Street Bridge. This restaurant is owned by Cathal Armstrong, who won best new chef of 2006. They have a tasting menu, which is pricey but a wonderful way to try different foods in a more intimate setting in the restaurant. Suggest eating early or reserving in advance as this restaurant gets booked in advance for the Tasting Room. Suggest strolling to the Potomac after dinner for cocktails afterwards. See link below.Has anyone dined at the 1789 Restaurant?
1789 is a great choice! but just in case you need a plan B, I also recomment Cafe Milano or Al Tiramisu. both are also romantic spots for delicious italian. Cafe Milano is a little hipper (various celebrities have been spotted dining there when they're in town) and Al Tiramisu is a little cozier, so make your choice based on what kind of atmosphere you're looking for...

Is there some sort of pass or ticket I can buy that would cover some of the attractions in Washington DC?
Do I have to pay to get in to everything individually or is there some sort of ticket or something I can purchase. How about getting around in DC. Any tips about traveling and restaurants, would be great.Is there some sort of pass or ticket I can buy that would cover some of the attractions in Washington DC?
The good news is that most of the museums and monuments are free and they are within walking distance of the metro. The National Mall runs from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol, and in between you'll find the Viet Nam memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Washington Monument, most of the Smithsonian museums, and the Botanical Gardens. The White House, Jefferson Memorial, FDR Memorial, National Archives, and other memorials and museums (Holocaust Museum, Bureau of Printing and Engraving -- money is printed here) are just a couple of blocks north or south of the mall. Just east of the Capitol are the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court.
Nearby metro stops include the Smithsonian, L'Enfant Plaza, Navy Memorial, and Capitol South. (http://www.wmata.com/metrorail/systemmap鈥?/a>
For information on the Smithsonian, go to www.si.edu. Note that the Museum of American History is closed for renovation.
Tip: Most of the museums open at 10 am. However, the grounds of the National Zoo (part of Smithsonian and free) is open at 7 am, and many animals are outside by 8 and this is when they are most active (and fewest crowds -- great time to see the Giant Pandas at their best). Nearest Metro: Woodley Park/Zoo or Cleveland Park on the Red line.
For information on what do see and do, where to eat, nightlife, etc. I recommend you look at the Washingtonian Magazine (http://www.washingtonian.com/).
If you are flying into Dulles or Regan National Airport, I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of The Washington Flyer magazine. It's free, and it has some great maps of the area.
There's a lot to see and do and a visit can be very economical, but very exhausting. Lot's of walking. I recommend that you look into taking the Tourmobile. (http://www.tourmobile.com/) These buses provide guided tours along the mall, stopping at most of the sites along the mall, plus the Capitol, White House, Jefferson Memorial, etc. You can ride it all day, getting on and off as much as you want. It also goes to Arlington National Cemetery. A single day pass is $20, or $30 for a 2-day pass.
Another Tip: Go to the museums, Capitol, Library of Congress, etc., during the day, and many close at 5 or 5:30 during the winter months. The Lincoln, Jefferson, FDR, and other memorials are open until midnight, and some, such as the Viet Nam Memorial and Iwo Jima Memorial, are open 24 hours.
Also, the Kennedy Center, which is open at night, has the Millennium Stage -- free shows in the main lobby area at 6 pm each evening. No tickets or reservations required. http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/m鈥?/a> Nearest metro is Foggy Bottom, with free shuttles to the Kennedy Center.
Do a little research and plan your attack. Good luck, and have fun!
I worked in DC for over 30 years and visitors usually stayed in hotels in Crystal City or Old Town, Alexandria. They are usually cheaper and are near Metro stations. The advantage to Old Town Alexandria is that there are a lot of great restaurants along King Street, many with nightly entertainment. Often, they have free shuttles to Regan National Airport and the Metro Stations.
Normally, I would answer, "CityPass," but they don't cover Washington. However, maybe they will soon? It might be worth contacting them. It seems odd that they don't cover DC. Perhaps they're in the testing stage and want help?
Most major museums in the US and Canada have a membership that includes admission at other major museums. Check with your local museum.
Other than that, I always check out Lonely Planet. Their books are always pretty useful, but there is also a forum on their website.
Oh, and I found a tourism website advertising D.C. museums, including some free events.Is there some sort of pass or ticket I can buy that would cover some of the attractions in Washington DC?
The good thing about Washington is that most of the major attractions are free. All of the Smithsonian museums, all of the monuments, the Capitol and Supreme Court ... all free.

DC is a fairly easy town to get around in. The Metro system will get you to most places, although you will do a fair amount of walking on the Mall. The Metro is extremely clean and quite safe, but does have an occasional break-down. If you are going to be there several days, I would recommend getting a weekly pass.

Here is the DC tourism home page:
http://www.washington.org/index.cfm?blnN鈥?/a>
1. Visit the Smithsonian Institution
Start at the Smithsonian Institution Building where you can pick up a map and information on all of the museums. These national treasures cover a wide range of subjects from art to space exploration. Plan to explore those you are most interested in, but don鈥檛 try to see everything at once. Be sure to save time to see an IMAX movie at the Natural History Museum or the National Air and Space Museum.
2. Tour the Monuments
Our national monuments are truly spectacular. The best time to see them is at night when they are illuminated, less crowded and parking is easier. During daytime visits, take a tour bus. Listen to informative park ranger talks and you won鈥檛 have to negotiate congested city traffic.
3. Tour the Three Houses of Government
Explore the U. S. Capitol Building, the White House and the U. S. Supreme Court and you will gain a fuller understanding of the division of power within our democratic government. Plan ahead and note that some tours must be scheduled in advance through your Congressional Representative.
4. Take a walk through Georgetown
Georgetown is the capital鈥檚 historic waterfront that today is bustling with activity. The area is a shopper鈥檚 paradise and the streets are lined with restaurants of every nationality. Take a tour of historic sites, do some shopping and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant.
5. Ride a bike along the C %26amp; O Canal
The Washington DC region is lucky to have wonderful bike trails. Jump on a bicycle and you鈥檒l quickly feel a relief from hectic city life. Take the whole family and explore the historic C %26amp; O Canal.
6. See a show or concert at the Kennedy Center
Live theatre productions at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts are entertainment at its finest. Purchase tickets in advance for performances ranging from musicals to concerts by the National Symphony.
7. Attend a concert at Wolftrap Farm Park
Listen to all types of music at this national park dedicated to the performing arts. Outdoor concerts are featured in the summer and indoor performances are held the rest of the year. The park is located in Vienna, Virginia, just 20 minutes from Washington, D.C.
8. Take a hike at Great Falls Park
Take a picnic and enjoy spectacular views of the Potomac River at this 800 acre park, located just 14 miles from Washington D.C.
9. Explore Mount Vernon
With the recent addition of the new museum and education center, Mount Vernon is now a full day excursion. Explore the state of the art galleries and theaters, visit the 500-acre estate of George Washington and his family, tour the 14-room mansion that is beautifully restored and furnished with original objects dating back to the 1740's. Be sure to plan enough time to tour the outbuildings, including the kitchen, slave quarters, smokehouse, coach house and stables. The estate is located in Northern Virginia, just minutes from Washington, DC.
10. Take a walking tour of Old Town, Alexandria
Explore a quaint historic town just over the Potomac River from Washington, DC. Visit colonial houses, churches, and museums and shop for antiques.
Most things in DC are free (well, not all..but alot..such as the smithsonian, the holocaust museum, all of the monuments at the national mall, and the national zoo..which is fantastic by the way!) A good thing for you to do would be to go to their website. www.washington.org From there you can find SO many resources to plan your trip. You can get maps and information on tours, getting around town, etc.
There is alot to do in D.C, and you need to plan your trip accordingly. Spend as many days there as possible, as you will likely not be able to get into alot of the museums/attractions in one day. Most museums give out tickets for tour times, and sometimes you have to go early in the day to get them. Once they are gone, they're gone, and you have to come back the next day.
Plan on doing ALOT of walking. Driving there is hectic and parking is horrible. Your best bet would be to take the Metro. You can get day passes on the metro for a set fee..which will let you get on the metro (subway) at any time and for as many rides as you need. You will learn that the metro will be your best friend when you don't feel like hiking all over the place.
A good idea would also to be to stay outside of D.C its self. I visited two summers ago and we stayed in Rockville, MD. It's not far out of D.C and the metro lines run all the way out there. All we had to do was drive to the metro station, park the car, and take the metro to D.C. It saved us ALOT of trouble...alot of gas...and alot of money. Going to DC can get pricey, but you can save yourself alot if you plan ahead.
Get a map of d.c and all of it's attractions and plan out your day according to how much you want to do, and where you want to go. Like I said, ALOT of walking is involved!
Good luck and have fun. Don't forget a camera!
Most of the museums in DC are free as everyone has stated. I know there is a charge for the National Aquarium, but I can't think of anything else that there is a fee for.
The Metro is the way to go, but you will still do a lot of walking. It makes getting around easier and it is reasonably priced. The Metro Escalator is the second longest in the USA and worth seeing. And there are lots of shops and places to eat at the Metro's Union Station.
If you are interested in doing a little planning, you can obtain a tour of the White House if you write the elected officials of your state. And to go up into the Washington Monument visit: http://reservations.nps.gov One person can get up to six tickets per reservation. There may be a small service fee for this. It was only $1.50 a ticket when we scheduled two years ago.
The good news is that most of the museums and monuments are free and they are within walking distance of the metro. The National Mall runs from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol, and in between you'll find the Viet Nam memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Washington Monument, most of the Smithsonian museums, and the Botanical Gardens. The White House, Jefferson Memorial, FDR Memorial, National Archives, and other memorials and museums (Holocaust Museum, Bureau of Printing and Engraving -- money is printed here) are just a couple of blocks north or south of the mall. Just east of the Capitol are the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court.
Nearby metro stops include the Smithsonian, L'Enfant Plaza, Navy Memorial, and Capitol South. (http://www.wmata.com/metrorail/systemmap鈥?/a>
For information on the Smithsonian, go to www.si.edu. Note that the Museum of American History is closed for renovation.
Tip: Most of the museums open at 10 am. However, the grounds of the National Zoo (part of Smithsonian and free) is open at 7 am, and many animals are outside by 8 and this is when they are most active (and fewest crowds -- great time to see the Giant Pandas at their best). Nearest Metro: Woodley Park/Zoo or Cleveland Park on the Red line.
For information on what do see and do, where to eat, nightlife, etc. I recommend you look at the Washingtonian Magazine (http://www.washingtonian.com/).
If you are flying into Dulles or Regan National Airport, I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of The Washington Flyer magazine. It's free, and it has some great maps of the area.
There's a lot to see and do and a visit can be very economical, but very exhausting. Lot's of walking. I recommend that you look into taking the Tourmobile. (http://www.tourmobile.com/) These buses provide guided tours along the mall, stopping at most of the sites along the mall, plus the Capitol, White House, Jefferson Memorial, etc. You can ride it all day, getting on and off as much as you want. It also goes to Arlington National Cemetery. A single day pass is $20, or $30 for a 2-day pass.
Another Tip: Go to the museums, Capitol, Library of Congress, etc., during the day, and many close at 5 or 5:30 during the winter months. The Lincoln, Jefferson, FDR, and other memorials are open until midnight, and some, such as the Viet Nam Memorial and Iwo Jima Memorial, are open 24 hours.
Also, the Kennedy Center, which is open at night, has the Millennium Stage -- free shows in the main lobby area at 6 pm each evening. No tickets or reservations required. http://www.kennedy-center.org/programs/m鈥?/a> Nearest metro is Foggy Bottom, with free shuttles to the Kennedy Center.
Do a little research and plan your attack. Good luck, and have fun!
I worked in DC for over 30 years and visitors usually stayed in hotels in Crystal City or Old Town, Alexandria. They are usually cheaper and are near Metro stations. The advantage to Old Town Alexandria is that there are a lot of great restaurants along King Street, many with nightly entertainment. Often, they have free shuttles to Regan National Airport and the Metro Stations.

Restaurants choices in DC?
My girlfriend and i have a anniversary coming up in April and since we both are slightly into Baseball and we don't get to spend much time out together, as we go to two different colleges about 2 hours apart and only see each other on weekend, I thought it would be nice to go catch the Washington National's game on our anniversary. It is an afternoon game, so I was looking for a restaurant in the DC area with good food that is good for a date night out, without a strict dress code, as we will be coming from the game. What are some of your favorite places in DC that would fit that criteria. Thanks for sharing your opinions.Restaurants choices in DC?
pf changs, ruth chris' steakhouse, or the melting pot. melting pot is amazing.. casual wear as well.
La Reve in Georgetown!Restaurants choices in DC?
melting pot is really great but expensive about $80 to $90 for the two of u not including drinks and tip.
The Source by Wolfgang Puck - at Newseum. There is casual dining in the bar/lounge downstairs and folks who've been at Newseum all day dine there so the dress code is very flexible and jeans and a polo would be fine: http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/restaurants/鈥?/a> (This restaurant was ranked #3 in the DC area by Washingtonian Magazine and features Asian Fusion cuisine.)
Palena Cafe - this is upscale food in a casual atmosphere - Italian way beyond your typical spaghetti and meatballs - James Beard award winning chef Frank Ruta offers his incredible dishes in the cafe as opposed to only in the fine dining restaurant Palena. They have a wood-burning oven and grill and everything is delicious! http://www.palenarestaurant.com/cafe.htm鈥?/a> (#18 by Washingtonian)
If you guys are into wine... try Proof: http://www.proofdc.com/index.php You can do all small plates or whatever... and they encourage you to share dishes which is always a bonus plan when you want to try a bit of everything :) (#27 by Washingtonian)
2Amys if you want wine, small plates and the best pizza known to man: http://2amyspizza.com/ (#28 Washingtonian but best pizza in the world no doubt!)
Jaleo http://www.jaleo.com/ This is Jose Andres Spanish Tapas and he's a magician in the kitchen - has several restaurants in the DC area - smart casual dress - lots of fun and great food. (#32 Washingtonian)
If you like Southern flavors, try upscale comfort food at Art and Soul: http://www.artandsouldc.com/ A James Beard award winner (twice) Chef-Owner Art Smith is a loving creator of southern classic flavors into upscale food. He also does Happy Hour wine/small plate pairings and the vibe here is warm and comfy. (#88 to Washingtonian, but should be ranked higher in my personal opinion)
Some of my personal favorite places are Lebanese Taverna: http://www.lebanesetaverna.com/ (I love the food and if you go once, you're family there!)
Also for seafood Tony and Joe's: http://www.tonyandjoes.com/ where everything is fresh, fresh, fresh and they're on the water so you have a great view...
Tony Cibel (of Tony and Joe's) also owns Nick's Riverside Grille: http://www.nicksriversidegrille.com/ and The Dancing Crab: http://www.thedancingcrab.com/ The Dancing Crab has been featured on Food Network and is probably the most casual of all of the restaurants but you can't go wrong with any of them if you're a seafood lover like me.
Enjoy your anniversary!

Locals, what are the best restaurants in Washington DC?
I'm making my first trip ever to Washington DC soon and have been doing some research on the restaurants around town.
Just wondering, whats your favorite?
I'm looking for a moderate price range, about $30 a person I'd say for dinner. Or if you've got good cheap eats, that's helpful too, but it's vacation so I'll probably live a little. I love all kinds of food so variety is good too!
By the way, I've heard these restaurants are good:
Et Voila
Filomena Restaurante
Hudson
Mezza Luna
any feedback on those?Locals, what are the best restaurants in Washington DC?
In the Shaw neighborhood, there's Vegetate (but they're closed Sunday and Monday). If you go between 6 and 7, they have a $25 deal where you get a Small Plate, a Large Plate and a Dessert for $25. Your drink, of course, is additional. When they're good, they're really, really good, but when they're not so good, well...it really is a bad experience.
This is far cheaper than $30 a person--in fact, two people can get out of there for between $25 and $35--but I love Nirvana Indian Restaurant on K Street NW near 18th. The food can be a bit spicy, but it is plentiful.
For really cheap, but good, eats, there's a great Ethiopian restaurant in Adams Morgan called Meskerem. It's not the nicest ambiance, but it will be an interesting experience--you eat with your hands from a communal dish and pick up the food with a bread called injera.
If you're in town for a couple days, definitely go to Ben's Chili Bowl (1213 U Street NW) one day or evening. It's cheap and also a local institution, like pizza in NY or cheesesteak in Philly. You can also wander around the U Street neighborhood, too.

Zorba's on Dupont Circle. It's a wonderful little Greek cafe with all sorts of tasty exotic dishes, as well as a wonderful Philly cheesesteak for less adventurous people :). Prices are affordable - under $10, so it's ideal for lunch.

austins grill by the verizon center is way good if you like mexican,

The National Mall is the center of most visits to Washington, DC, but finding places to eat in this area of the city is not so obvious.
You can bring a picnic and eat on the grassy areas when the weather is nice. For just a few dollars you can buy a hotdog and a soda from a street vendor. The National Park Service operates a few refreshment stands, located in front of the Natural History Museum, near the National Mall Carousel, near the Lincoln Memorial and on the Tidal Basin near the paddle boat rentals.
The museum cafe's are expensive and often crowded, but are the most convenient place to eat lunch. Most of Washington, DC鈥檚 museum cafes are open the same hours as the museums themselves.

Look up GrilleFish...short cab ride from the mall, great food, cool atmosphere, and very reasonably priced. I've been there many times and never had a bad experience.
Check out Zaytinya at 701 9th Street NW (a few blocks from the Verizon Center), which features Greek mezza (i.e., tapas). Delicious!
I recommend Bertucci's. Or Harry's in NW D.C. on E. Street.

DC Restaurants?
Please list some fancy DC restaurants that would require suit and tie kinda attire and their websitesDC Restaurants?
definately try Citysearch.com as well as zagats. If you want to travel a bit farther travel over the bridge to VA....L'auberge Chez Francois has repeatedly been one of the top restaurants in the country...it's in a beautiful town, Great Falls and isn't very far from DC at all...You WONT be dissapointed.

There are some very fine DC Restaurants. Here are some of the Best that I know of.
1789/American Cuisine
Asia Nora/New Asian Cuisine
Citronelle/American Cuisine
Occidental/Very Historic Restaurant with very fine cuisine
Jaleo/Elegant Spanish Food
Palena/Great Italian Cuisine
Tabard Inn/American Cuisine
The Willard Room/French and very elegant.
Another restaurant that requires a coat for gentleman is the Prime Rib.
The answers above should be helpful, but note that Jaleo - while a fine restaurant - is not particularly elegant. It's loud and a touch chaotic, and many people dress casually. Tabard Inn is a bit nicer, but does not require dressing up. 1789 does require a jacket, as does the Prime Rib. I don't think the other places mentioned require a jacket, but most patrons dress up.

Does anyone know of any teen-friendly sports bars in the DC area?
I'm looking for something similar to the ESPN Zone -- I'd just take the boys there, but it's booked! Do you know of anything similar, with lots of tvs that might be showing a bball game or two BUT that isn't a true bar where teens wouldn't fit in? A restaurant with games similar to ESPN Zone would be fantastic! Thanks so much!Does anyone know of any teen-friendly sports bars in the DC area?
that's an oxymoron. you can't have a bar for teens cause a bar denotes alcohol and you need to be 21 to enter any bar
There's a chain called jillians. Kid friendly restaurant w/an arcarde kind of like Chuck-E-Cheese w/out well, all that cheese or cheesiness I should say. Not sure if it's in DC but check it out.Does anyone know of any teen-friendly sports bars in the DC area?
You are too young to drink. You will not get into a bar. You can just go to Cheesecake Factory or Hard Rock Cafe!

Family restaurant near The Mall for a Sunday night?
We will be 6 adults and a 2yr old visiting The Mall in DC on a Sunday next month. What is close by that is open for an early dinner, willing to handle a 2 year old, and not too expensive? We can take the Metro if necessary however we will need to get back to Alexandria by 8:00p.Family restaurant near The Mall for a Sunday night?
I'd suggest going over to Union Station, which is filled with restaurants and has a huge food court. The restaurants range from up-scale to family style (such as Pizzeria Uno). A nice choice, that is still appropriate for kids, is America restaurant, which has a huge menu full of American specialties.
Still, if the kids are fussy after a full day downtown (which is quite possible), the food court, found on the lower level of Union Station, is a good choice.
Oh--and there's a Metro station right beneath Union Station, plus a large parking garage. Plus, there are many interesting stores to look at. If your kids are into trains, you can look down at a very active train station from the rear of the parking garage, watching Amtrak and commuter trains pull in and out.
Here's a link:
http://www.unionstationdc.com/Family restaurant near The Mall for a Sunday night?
Your best selection (cuisine and cost) will be Penn Quarter to Chinatown/Gallery Place, 7th Street NW north of the National Mall.

Go to the vegetarian restaurant on the main street in Vienna. It's across from the Giant grocery store. Also, go to Amphora's in Herndon, not Vienna. And there are some good Asian restaurants in 7 Corners/ Falls Church to try dim-sum or Vietnamese food at.

Tabard Inn on N street just East of Conneticut is a great place to try!
In Georgetown Mendocino on M st between 29th and 30th is good. Near the Georgetown campus is 1789 very nice coat and tie kind of place. It is a landmark of DC dinning.
I'm a big fan of Old Ebbitt Grill. www.ebbitt.com
Good food, not too expensive. If you'd like it to be somewhat quiet, ask to sit in the atrium...it's fantastic. If you want to be around people and liveliness, ask for the main room. I'd get a reservation.Must Try Restaurants in DC?
If you're staying at L'Enfant, check out Teaism -- across the National Mall just past the National Archives and Navy Memorial -- and Zaytinya, near the Smithsonian's American Art Museum / National Portrait Gallery (located a few blocks from the Gallery Place / Chinatown station from the L'Enfant Plaza station, both on the Yellow/Green Metro line).
Also check out Nirvana (1810 K Street NW) for vegetarian Indian cuisine.
If you're up for something very different, the District has one of the largest Ethiopian communities in the states and many good Ethiopian restaurants along the U Street NW corridor.

Are there any great vegan restaurants in the Washington DC area?
Check out www.vegdc.com. Many of the restaurants listed are not 100 percent vegetarian but have veg*an options.
Some great all vegetarian restaurants:
Vegetable Garden--it's right across the street from the White Flint Metro station in Rockville, MD. I believe it's all vegan.
Yuan Fu--it's just up the road from Vegetable Garden. Not as easily Metro accessible; you have to walk about six blocks from the Rockville Metro station. I think they're also all-vegan.
Java Green--it's a few blocks from the Farragut West and Farragut North stations in downtown DC. Except for cheese on a few sandwiches and organic milk for coffee, everything is vegan.
Nirvana--an Indian restaurant on K Street, just around the corner from Java Green. Many items are vegan or can be made vegan, and these are clearly marked.
Sticky Fingers Bakery--it's a block and a half from the Columbia Heights Metro station. They're a cute little vegan bakery and cafe.
Sunflower Restaurant--they have two locations in Virginia, one in Vienna and one in Falls Church near Seven Corners. Neither is near a Metro station, but if you take a "4" bus from Rosslyn, it's about a 20-minute ride to Seven Corners. The original Vienna location is a lot smaller and not very close to any bus line.
One of my favorite veg-friendly places is Harmony Cafe in Georgetown. Almost anything on the menu can be made vegetarian. It's about a 20-minute walk from the Rosslyn Metro--you have to walk across the bridge from Virginia into DC.
Happy eating!Are there any great vegan restaurants in the Washington DC area?

yesAre there any great vegan restaurants in the Washington DC area?
you received a list from the first person to answer the question but may I say that having been in DC for conferences...most restaurants will serve vegetarian fare...Try Georges...it is a great place and you might see a Senator or Congress person there
Georges Restaurant - (202) 342-0444 - 2800 Pennsylvania Ave Nw, Washington, DC - 1.12mi - map
this is very near the White House
Some great all vegetarian restaurants:
Vegetable Garden--it's right across the street from the White Flint Metro station in Rockville, MD. I believe it's all vegan.
Yuan Fu--it's just up the road from Vegetable Garden. Not as easily Metro accessible; you have to walk about six blocks from the Rockville Metro station. I think they're also all-vegan.
Java Green--it's a few blocks from the Farragut West and Farragut North stations in downtown DC. Except for cheese on a few sandwiches and organic milk for coffee, everything is vegan.
Nirvana--an Indian restaurant on K Street, just around the corner from Java Green. Many items are vegan or can be made vegan, and these are clearly marked.
Sticky Fingers Bakery--it's a block and a half from the Columbia Heights Metro station. They're a cute little vegan bakery and cafe.
Sunflower Restaurant--they have two locations in Virginia, one in Vienna and one in Falls Church near Seven Corners. Neither is near a Metro station, but if you take a "4" bus from Rosslyn, it's about a 20-minute ride to Seven Corners. The original Vienna location is a lot smaller and not very close to any bus line.
One of my favorite veg-friendly places is Harmony Cafe in Georgetown. Almost anything on the menu can be made vegetarian. It's about a 20-minute walk from the Rosslyn Metro--you have to walk across the bridge from Virginia into DC.
Happy eating!Are there any great vegan restaurants in the Washington DC area?
Yes, Wait a secdond

Where are the Asian markets in the Washington DC area?
I just moved to DC, and really want to buy some Asian spicies and food, anybody know where are the Asian markets in the DC? I checked Chinatown, but they only have restaurants there.
Thank you!!Where are the Asian markets in the Washington DC area?
The big marketplace in Chinatown closed a while back but there is a small gift/novelties shop on 7th Street just north of H Street that still carries some pre-packaged items (they carry medicinal herbs as well). Sorry that I cannot recall the name.
Your best bet at locating markets are in the Virginia and Maryland suburbs. We shop at Thai Market (902 Thayer Avenue, Silver Spring) and the Indian markets along University Boulevard in Langley Park, Maryland.

I'm travelling to New York and Washington DC for 3 weeks. What should I do and see?
I'm going over in October, Halloween - Yay - I'm 32, from Australia and have only ever seen 1 group of trick or treaters, but want to know the out of the way, must see, not included in guide books things to do, national parks to see and great bars and restaurants to go to that aren't touristy. What are other states to visit in the area that would be worth a quick trip.
Also should I fly into DC and travel to NY or vice versa.
Thanks.I'm travelling to New York and Washington DC for 3 weeks. What should I do and see?
My friend may I recommend, the Bear Mountain State Park, located in Bear Mountain, NY. Bear Mountain State Park is a 5,067 acres (2,050.5 hectare) state park about 50 to 60 miles (80 to 100 km) from New York City, and the perfect place to camp out for the day.
The park is accessible by train from Grand Central. Take the Metro-North Hudson Line from GCT to the town of Manitou and then take a cab or bus from there train station to the park. If you opt to rent a car, you can get there by car via the New York State Thruway.
Since you're coming in the fall, you will be able to see the best foliage in the region at Bear Mountain State Park.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck and enjoy you trip.

might i recommend Ellis Island? It has a lot of tourists but its a great thing to see (NEW YORK)
for DC might i recommend the white house to take out our current president yeah that might be helpfulI'm travelling to New York and Washington DC for 3 weeks. What should I do and see?
For New York- go to the typical tourist spots and chill at the more posh neighborhoods where you'll meet great people.
For D.C.- Definitely go to the Historical Sites downtown, you can also chill at "The Mall". You wont have any time for Museums though.
here are some suggestions and tips from our personal experience:
we went to NY for a week and stayed at the Hilton Embassy Suites.
we had a blast!!!
you should visit Serendipity for dessert :)
http://jotan23.blogspot.com/2008/03/day-鈥?/a>
there's a book called Lonely Planet (NYC)
it is a really really helpful book for tourists like us because it includes walking tours, etc, and places to eat.
by the way, instead of waiting for hours in line to get to the statue of liberty, you may opt to have the NY waterway tour instead. This way, you will save enough time to tour other parts of the city :)
http://jotan23.blogspot.com/2008/03/tour鈥?/a>
there's also the famous BULL at the financial district :)
you should also try the yummiest Pizza Margherita at 'Lil Frankie in East Village ^,^
if you have more time, try walking the stretch of Brooklyn Bridge.
http://jotan23.blogspot.com/2008/03/trav鈥?/a>
this serves as an exercise too.. hihihi
also, do visit Saint Patricks's Cathedral at 5th avenue.
don't miss to go inside.
it's wonderful!!!
we also went to Top of the Rock instead of the Empire State Building to avoid the long line hihihi because we were afraid we won't have enough time to see other parts of NYC :)
for shopping, you may want to visit Century 21, just across the former WTC.
http://jotan23.blogspot.com/2008/03/livi鈥?/a>
you should have lunch/brunch at Cafe lalo!!! or at Sarabeth's :)
we chose Cafe Lalo hihihi because of the ambiance and because it's famous.
To relax, try having a picnic at Central Park.
http://jotan23.blogspot.com/2008/03/labo鈥?/a>
we chose to eat at the top of one huge rock there to have e good view of the whole central park :)
then, we went to MET (entrance is by donation only, you don't have to give 20 USD)
if you're a techie like my friends, you may want to visit the MAC store. it is now a tourist spot because of its unique architecture :p
DON'T MISS eating at PARADOU!!!
it's a MUST!!!
trust me on this!
you also gotta watch a broadway show! definitely!
there's WICKED and SPAMALOT :)

What are some cool, unique restaurants in Washington, DC?
I love Marrakesh restaurant it's expensive though but the food is great. They have a belly dancing show during dinner where they turn off the lights. You sit on pillows w/a low Morroccan table. Here's the link
(New York Ave)
www.marrakesh.us
Bucca de Pepe in Dupont-Make a reservation to eat/be seated in their kitchen and watch your meal being cooked! This is so fun Order dessert and they sing!
I also liked Rosa Mexicano-you can get your host to make homemade guacomole at your table
American City Diner-watch black and white movie while eating American food (Connecticut Avenue)
Vegetate (9th St) Vegeterian
Jaleo or Zantinya -tapas
Blair Mansion-it's on the DC/Silver Spring line
Murder Mystery Dinner
www.blairmansion.com
Georgia Brown's Brunch
Low Country Cuisine (Must make reservations)
www.gbrowns.com
They have a live band (sometimes jazz, sometimes other acts)
Brunch is broken up in 3 parts--open brunch, pick a entree, dessert
Jackie's in Silver Spring would also be fun-it's modern american but the place is funky.What are some cool, unique restaurants in Washington, DC?
These are all restaurants I've been to and recommend:
Indebleu - Indian / French fusion with a very hip dining room. Call ahead if you want to reserve a table in the ultra hip lounge which always seems to be packed when I go.
Vidalia - think Southern chic. Many dishes feature vidalia onions, grits, and ham in delightfully inventive, fresh recipes.
Corduroy - the dining room is a little underwhelming but the food delights.
Rosa Mexicano - gorgeous dining room and the best guacamole in DC. I also like the pomegranate Margarita.
Zola - next to the Spy Museum, it captures a little of the museum's playfully secretive style
Citronelle - a buzzing open kitchen, sleek decor, food that is to DIE for (with a matching price tag) and the color-changing wall. Check out the "breakfast" dessert!
Well, my all time favorite place to eat in D.C. is Jaleo! It鈥檚 this tapas place downtown as well as in Bethesda Maryland. The atmosphere is fun and if you are in to tapas and sangria then this place is amazing.
But if your not really looking to eat fancy there are multiple diners that are also delicious. There is Steak and Egg on Wisconsin Ave in Tenly Town. It鈥檚 open 24 hours a day but it gets shut down for health code violations a few times a year. But don鈥檛 be put off because the chocolate chip pancakes are to die for.
There is one more place called Marvin on 14th street which i have never been to but I hear is super cool. It鈥檚 got outdoor seating on the upstairs deck. it looked really unique.
i hope this helped.What are some cool, unique restaurants in Washington, DC?
my absolute favorite restaurant in DC is Nooshi: Oodles Noodles.
it's a japanese food and sushi restaurant and it's ah-mazing! the decor is gorgeous and of course the food is fantastic. for drinks, i'd highly recommend the frozen mango lemonade! (i get it every time, no exceptions!)

Morton's is really great. It is affordable I think and the food is excellent.

I want to take my mother out for her b-day, but I am not sure where exactly to take her. Preferrably spanish cuisine.Where are good restaurants in the MD, VA, and mainly DC area?
Jaleo - They have three locations: http://www.jaleo.com/
if you're around waldorf, md it would be la tolteca. if you are in the eastern part of va it would be plaza azteca. their food is delicious!!!!!!!!Where are good restaurants in the MD, VA, and mainly DC area?
For Spanish cuisine, I'd suggest Mar de Plata at 1410 14th Street NW (Logan Circle area/north of Thomas Circle). An Argentinean friend first recommended it to us as his favorite restaurant in D.C. and we've now added it to our list of dining favorites. They've opened a second location at 1827 Jefferson Place (Dupont Circle, South).

Where can I find fresh monkfish in Maryland, close to DC?
I've only seen it once at my local Harris Teeter, and they don't carry it regularly. The Whole Foods doesn't list it on their website, not that it would mean they never have it.
If I can't find monkfish, is there something very similar? I just had it at a French restaurant and loved it. Thanks!Where can I find fresh monkfish in Maryland, close to DC?

What are fun things to do and good places to eat in Lafayette Square - Washington, DC?
I'm particularly interested in restaurant recommendations. We're a busy couple with kids and don't get away often. Any other ideas welcome too! Thanks.What are fun things to do and good places to eat in Lafayette Square - Washington, DC?
Lafayette Square is a park, so there are no restaurants or nightspots there, and I hesitate to suggest a walk, as there are sometimes protests there (it's the north side of the White House, ya know). It's not really a place you go to have a good time.
But head a couple blocks up 16th Street NW, and there's Olives, just south of K.
On K Street NW, between 18th and 19th, there's Nirvana, an Indian restaurant.
As it's one of the business districts, there really isn't much to do for fun around there. You could catch the Circulator bus to 9th Street NW and K, walk down to H and two blocks over to 7th (or ride Metro to the Gallery Place Chinatown stop), where there's a movie theatre and bowling and a number of shops. If there's an event at the Verizon Center nearby, though, the streets will be crowded.
Ella's Wood-Fired Pizza is on 9th Street NW, just south of G, and Zaytinya's is cater-corner to Ella's.
Go to the Old Ebbitt Grill it is on 15 near F st. Great Oysters and fabulous martinis!What are fun things to do and good places to eat in Lafayette Square - Washington, DC?
check with yahoo! local. they may be able to locate some things for you.

Where can I get koshari in Washington DC?
Any place? Lived in Egypt for a bit and I'd be interested in a restaurant that serves it.
I've made it myself but its kind of a pain.Where can I get koshari in Washington DC?
Mr. Koshari on Garden Street.
And someone also told me that Revolution Records (4215 Conn. Ave. NW) Has koshari, but??? Seems like an odd venue for Egyptian food! I can't guarantee that one since i haven't checked it out myself.
Bon Apetit!

How to get Closed CIrcuit TV for a Restaurant?
Greetings,
Thank you for taking your time to read my questions.
I just recently bought a bar and im about to open it, i was wondering how i could get the close circuit tv thing for my bar. That way i can have soccer games that dont show in regular cable.
Is there a website?
i tried to google it but i dont seem to be able to find anything
if anyone knows anything I'll appreciate it
My bar is located in the MD/DC/VA area
Thanks a bunch!How to get Closed CIrcuit TV for a Restaurant?
You need commercial satellite tv installation. To find a local Dish Network or Direct TV Company, go here:
http://www.sathookup.com/satellite-netwo鈥?/a>
I would guess that it's some sort of satellite system. See if you can find out anything about MUZAK and see if they can tell you.
One thing is for certain, it won't be cheap.How to get Closed CIrcuit TV for a Restaurant?
By close circuit tv you mean surveillance camera right? Im not sure about your question since you also mentioned watching soccer games. what is it that you want? is it security cameras to protect your bar and patrons or some sort of cable tv to watch soccer? You question is a little confusing.

I would guess that it's some sort of satellite system. See if you can find out anything about MUZAK and see if they can tell you.
One thing is for certain, it won't be cheap.How to get Closed CIrcuit TV for a Restaurant?
By close circuit tv you mean surveillance camera right? Im not sure about your question since you also mentioned watching soccer games. what is it that you want? is it security cameras to protect your bar and patrons or some sort of cable tv to watch soccer? You question is a little confusing.
What are some good ethiopian restaurants and hookah places in washington dc??
If you know of any places in maryland as well please let me know. Also tell me what you thought of the restaurant / hookah place. what was good about it? bad? would you recommend the place etc. thanks.What are some good ethiopian restaurants and hookah places in washington dc??
There's one on New York Ave called Marrakhesh
theres one in d.c. squareWhat are some good ethiopian restaurants and hookah places in washington dc??

Abi Ti Ethiopian Restaurant
1909 9th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001
(202) 328-2223 here you can order your own hookah pipe
http://ypng.areaconnect.com/_1_2SEMT8J02鈥?/a> here there are all
It's actually Moroccan, but definitely try Marakesh on New York Ave, NW (a block away from where 395 hits NY Ave). Also, there's an Ethiopian place on M Street in Georgetown.
this is supposed to list the best places
Chi Cha Lounge isn't bad and there are a bunch of Prince Cafe's around.
Try U St between 13th and 10th NW. There are a couple of good ethiopian restaurants, specially Dukem which sometimes has shows (ethiopian dances and so on). Right next to Dukem there is another Ethiopian restaurant that my ethiopian friends claim is the best in town (i cant remember the name, though). This is definitively the ethiopian restaurant area! (including 9th St)
For hookah, Chi-Cha (down the street on U and 17th) is good and Tabaq (a little closer, on U between 13th and 14th) is a little fancier and it has a great basement lounge where you can smoke hookah (great mojitos too!)
As for Ethiopian restaurants in DC, most of the good ones are in Adams Morgan, mostly around the 18th and Columbia Streets. A recommendation of mine are Meskerem and Fasika's both at 18th street, NW.
And, as for a hookah bar, there are a couple of places in Georgetown that I recommend, and I think I know one in Adams Morgan so that it would be cool that you would be able to have both in the same area.
For hookah bars in Georgetown:
- Prince Cafe of Georgetown at 1042 Wisconsin Avenue. You can also check it at www.cafeprince.com
- Shalimar Restaurant at 3263 M Street, NW
I think Chi-Cha's Hookah Lounge is at 1624 U street, NW, which is in the Adam's Morgan area as well.
I hope this will help out. If you need more information, you can go to www.washingtonian.com

Anyone know any cool bars and lounges in DC?
Hi, my best friend and I are going to Washington DC next week (Weds - Sat). I was wondering if someone could recommend some cool hangouts for us. I prefer upscale martini lounges and house music. My friend likes upscale places too but only listens to hip-hop and top 40 music. Any cool hangouts that you think we would both would like? Also, any restaurant suggestions are appreciated as well. Thanks!!Anyone know any cool bars and lounges in DC?
I like the Adams Mill bar and grill on Adams Morgan. Great place. It's not a martini bar, it's just a bar, but it's a nice place. If you don't like it there though, you'll be at the top of the main drinking strip, so just walk down the road haha.
"Tryst" in Adams Morgan is a chic and spacious coffee shop and bar. It's as high-brow as a place like this can come.
For just plain ol' good food and atmosphere, "Utopia" on U Street is a great restaurant.Anyone know any cool bars and lounges in DC?
Adam's Morgan is probably where you want to hang. Near Dupont is Fire Fly which is great for Martini's but not so much house.
The Mad Hatter in DC is really good. So is Sign of the Whale.

What is there to do in Cabin John, Maryland (near DC) that is inexpensive or free to do? Non-touristy please:)
Visiting the in-laws from Christmas to New Year's day in Cabin John, Maryland. We have gone into DC so many times and we are looking for some inexpensive or free fun things to do or places to go. We love funky, unusual, artsy places. Any good restaurants or bars would be welocome too!What is there to do in Cabin John, Maryland (near DC) that is inexpensive or free to do? Non-touristy please:)
Cabin John Regional Park
C%26amp;O Canal Trail
Potomac, MD is a few miles away via River Rd.
/ The Old Angler's Inn is a wonderfully relaxing restaurant. You are close to Westfield Mall (aka Mongtomery Mall).
Cabin John Regional Park has Ice Skating, Pick-Up Hockey, and a nice outdoor playground with long slides for the kids, as well as a small running train for them to ride.
Down River Road, families can canoe on the C%26amp;O canal.
Take the Wooton Parkway toward Rt, 28 (toward Darnestown), and check out the Kentlands for evening dining, movies, or shopping. The same for the Rio Complex in Gaithersburg by the lake. Lots of people, and upscale family entertainment.
White Flint (Rockville Pike) has Dave and Busters.What is there to do in Cabin John, Maryland (near DC) that is inexpensive or free to do? Non-touristy please:)
Glen Echo Park is right down the street from Cabin John--- it's an old amusement park that has been renovated and reopened as an arts center. There's artist barns and glassblowing studios plus the beautiful Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo where you can go swing-dancing most Saturday nights (not expensive either!). For dining and drinks, try the Irish Inn at Glen Echo which is moderately priced, good food and a lively bar crowd especially on the weekends. Old Anglers Inn (as suggested by another poster) is also a nice place to dine although a little on the pricey side for what you get. Or go down MacArthur Blvd just over the DC line (maybe 3 miles) to the Palisades neighborhood where there are a number of great neighborhood restaurants and bars. My favorite there is Starland Cafe.
Sorry I can't help you........BUT........had to let you know I am on the upside of age 50 and never heard of Cabin John til now! Thanks!!

Best vegetarian food in the Washington, DC area?
I wanted to get my sister a gift certificate for the best vegetarian meal that she could have in the Washington, DC area. Price is not an issue. Any suggestions? It does not have to be a vegetarian only restaurant, she just needs to be able to order something off of the menu.Best vegetarian food in the Washington, DC area?
Sunflower in Vienna and Falls Church is top notch!
The Vegetable Garden in Rockville is pretty good, and so is Yuan Fu, just a couple miles north of there. I like Vegetable Garden because 1) it's across the street from a Metro station and 2) it has a great $16.99 meal deal. I like Yuan Fu because 1) the menu is far more extensive and creative and 2) they have a wonderful sizzling rice soup. Both are all vegetarian restaurants.
There's also a fairly new place in Arlington called Toscana Green, which is not all veg, but does have vegan options, which are clearly marked on the menu. I just ate there today with my boyfriend, and it's the sort of place where I would want to have a special meal. It's right near the Court House Metro station.
Sunflower (in Falls Church and in Vienna) is also a good place.
In DC, there's an Indian place called Nirvana near the Farragut North and West stations. It's an all-veg place.
It's not at all fancy, but there's a vegan bakery/cafe called Sticky Fingers near Columbia Heights. They have some really good cupcakes, and it's good for a really casual meal. I wouldn't call it the best, but it is pretty good for what it is.
Hope this helps.Best vegetarian food in the Washington, DC area?
Along with the very good suggestions above, do check out Upudi Palace in Takoma Park, Maryland for vegetarian Indian cuisine and Java Green (1020 19th Street NW and who will reported be opening a second restaurant on 17th Street NW). Sadly, the high-end Vegetate (1414 9th Street NW) is closing.
For dedicated vegan restaurants, Crystal Vegetarian is the best in the Washington, DC area. It's located by Seven Corners in Falls Church, VA, just off Route 50.

What are good restaurants in downtown DC?
Im talking about like around the tourist areas not like the neiborghood parts.What are good restaurants in downtown DC?
Here's just one idea from our Washington, DC travelogue:
"It had been suggested that a visit to Union Station would be enjoyable and indeed it was. Constitution Avenue brought us to the Capitol, where we turned north on Louisiana Avenue to the station. The grand exterior and incredibly designed interior are magnificent to behold but the way they have marketed the space is extraordinary. It is a multi-level enclosed mall with top-notch shops and restaurants. Sure you can catch a train and you'll have a lot of fun doing it but be sure to include a stop at the food court, the largest we have ever seen with an incredible range of choices. This is a great place for lunch or a snack."
Lots more to read at the Source URL below. Enjoy!
I recommend Old Ebbitt Grill on 15th Street near the White House. Also McCormick %26amp; Schmick's Seafood Restaurant near 16th and K street or the M%26amp;S Grill on 13th street. There are also a lot of great restaurants in Georgetown, down M Street.What are good restaurants in downtown DC?
I'll give you some of my favorite restaurants and you can make up your own mind. These are all downtown area near where the most tourists hang out.
It all depends on what type of food you like.
If you want steak.. you can't go wrong with Capital Grille. It's on Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street, a skip and a hop from the Capitol building. Dry aged steak with impeccable service... don't forget to bring your credit card...the quality food and service comes with a high price tag but well worth it.. far better than Ruth Chris, Morton's.. other steak joints..
Right on Penn Avenue, for Thai food, there is Ten Penh.. always highly rated by magazines and news papers.. 10th and Penn Ave.. outdoor seating too.
Chef Geoff's restaurant is new to my list.. I tried it out during Restaurant week and the food was fabulous. The name of the restaurant sounded funny at first but it was excellent all around.. They have two locations, one in Georgetown and the downtown location is on 13th street between Penn and E street... right near Warner Theatre and National Theatre... You won't be disappointed.

Washington DC ethnic restaurants?
In Washington DC they had an Ethopian cuisine restaurant, I was wondering, is that unique ways to prepare UN food rations?Washington DC ethnic restaurants?
No, Ethiopian cooking has nothing to do with preparing UN Rations. There are many Ethiopian restaurants in DC. If you want to try one find an African cabbie and ask to go to his favorite. There are several around U St. and a couple in Adam's Morgan.
Really good Ethopian down in Adams Morgan.Washington DC ethnic restaurants?
Because Ethiopa is known for the famines that have occurred there, I have a hard time grabbing your apparent attempt at humor. That said, there are some good Ethopian restaurants in DC and in Clarendon as well.

These are great sites. If you can't find anything you like there, try a place in Olde Town (about 15 min. away). It has restaurants EVERYWHERE. You won't even need a website to find a restaurant in that place!

What are some suggestions for a romantic date day and night in Washington DC?
I already have restaurant reservations, but I'm looking for things to do... This is a VERY special person and unfortunately I'm not from the area.What are some suggestions for a romantic date day and night in Washington DC?
Everyone is advocating the mall and tidal basin, but under full sun, you might get a little warm/sweaty out paddling around depending on the temperature. In the Spring, that would be great, but lately, anywhere between 78 - 95 degrees.
When it is not too crowded, the US Botanic Garden (free) at 100 Maryland Ave SW (Federal Center SW or Capital South metro stations) is usually quite beautiful inside and the US Post Office (free) Tower has a great view esp in the evenings at 1200 Penn Ave (Federal Triangle Metro). These are lesser known spots and thus less crowded by tourists.
Walk around the mall, see the museums, there is a carosel outside the museums, how romantic is that.What are some suggestions for a romantic date day and night in Washington DC?
Go to a few of the museams for the day (try the Natural History museam and an art museam) There is also a sculpture garden which i hear is really beauitful. Go to dinner, then walk around the monuments at night.
I would recommend paddle boating in the tidal basin, its not expensive, easy to do and you get a good look at the monuments etc. After dinner I would recommend you go to Georgetown and walk up the main street. There is a place called cafe Leopold's that has great coffee/after dinner drinks/cakes http://kafeleopolds.com/. Its like behind the street and threes little tables etc. its a great place to sit and relax. You can also go down the the Georgetown waterfront.
My other suggestion is to take a Potomac dinner cruise. Its awesome to sit in the huge boat and enjoy a good dinner (done that once).

Is going to bartending school necessary to be a bartender in DC?
Because I don't have enough money to pay for school, I'm pursuing bartending for this semester! I have no prior experience serving drinks so I wanted to know is it worth paying $600 for bartending school to work at a club or restaurant! Serious opinions and answers please!!
Thank You!Is going to bartending school necessary to be a bartender in DC?
Bartending school anywhere is not a good idea and not worth the money.
Think about it:
WITHOUT bartending school, you start off as a bar back (basically a bartender's assistant), and you'll learn everything about being a bartender from that.
WITH bartending school, you still start off as a bar back (they won't hire you straight off as a bartender), and everything you just spent $600 learning, will be thrown out the window, because you're basically learning everything all over again.Is going to bartending school necessary to be a bartender in DC?
no, generally schools are a waste of money
its generally considered wiser either hosting a few parties, getting real-world experience
or start as a server/bar back, which is what most people get hired as to begin with anyway, with our without going to bar tending school... you then start getting handed more and more responsibilites when they see you able to handle them.

Best Thai and Chinese cuisine in DC area?
I am visiting friends in downtown DC and the Fairfax County, VA area over the weekend and would like suggestions on the best Thai restaurant (sit down or take out) and Chinese restaurant (sit down only). Hong Kong style Chinese preferred but not mandatory... good dim sum a plus! Thanks!Best Thai and Chinese cuisine in DC area?
For downtown DC (Chinatown), Tony Cheng's has a popular dim sum - 621 H Street NW (upstairs). In Virginia, Fortune - 6249 Arlington Blvd Falls Church, VA 22044.
Thai restaurants are plentiful (and of an overall consistent quality) throughout the District, but IMHO the better fare is out in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs. Rice on 14th Street NW provides an interesting contemporary spin on the cuisine. When we're up to travel to Virginia, we'll head to Po Siam in Alexandria.
If you're open to traveling a bit outside the District, a truly excellent Burmese restaurant is Mandalay in Silver Spring, Maryland - one of our favorite dining experiences. Worth the drive!Best Thai and Chinese cuisine in DC area?
China King
Check the yellow pages theres lots of Chinese restaurants there

What should I do when I go to Washington DC?
My boyfriend and I are doing a little road trip to Maine at the end of this month.
We are making a pit stop in DC for 2 or 3 days. I've been looking up things to do while we are there but I'd like to plan my intinerary based off of peoples experiences rather than what I can read on travel websites.
What are some good bars and restaurants we can check out?
Segway tours?
Parks?
Museums?
Any suggestions would be great!What should I do when I go to Washington DC?
Some random pointers here.
Get a hotel in Northern Virginia or in Maryland that is NORTH of Washington DC. Places like Alexandria and Arlington Virginia and Bethesda and Rockville Maryland are best. Stay out of the areas that are South and East of Washington DC, because those are generally "ghettos".
Don't try to drive into DC. The driving is slow and there is not enough public parking spaces. Your best bet is to take the Metro (subway) into DC and then just walk.
Be sure to bring some very comfortable walking shoes and some comfortable clothing. Right now it's about 97 F in DC with 97 % humidity. In other words it's HOT. It will stay this way until mid-September and then start to cool a bit.
You can see all the sights by either walking or taking the Metro. The monuments and memorials are all free, as are the Smithsonian Museums.
I think that the Museums are the best part of Wash DC. So plan to see them all if you can.
This is a link to Washingtonian 100 Best Restaurants in the DC area for this year:
It will tell you location, contact information, reviews, price, where they rank in top 100, etc.
I would suggest Zaytinya, Jaleo (several locations), Cork, Bar Pilar, Brabo Tasting Room
Turkish, Greek Mediterranean
Spanish Tapas
resthome.html Small plates and wine pairings
Eclectic, casual, small plates and wine pairings
Upscale small plates and wine pairings
And now... I will share with you my secret place if you want to go out of DC as far as Manassas.
They have Italian and American cuisine, they have stellar service, are not typically too crowded because not that many people know they're there yet - this is truly a "hidden gem." The outside of the place looks unimpressive but inside are beautiful stone floors and a feeling that you've stepped into another dimension. There's an acoustic guitarist/singer who plays there sometimes named David Davol. He's very good and lovely to listen to. He has a huge playlist and if you have a special song, he frequently does requests. He does James Taylor for my husband and me :)What should I do when I go to Washington DC?
From experience, I recommend going to see all the war memorials and the president memorials. Another must is to visit Arlington Cemetery. In terms of museums, all of the Smithsonains are great but the one museum you must go to is the Holocaust Museum. Taking their tour is really life-changing. Also swing by the court house and Capital Hill and say hi to your congressman if you get the chance. I hope this was helpful and I hope you and your boyfriend have a great time.
Go to Jinx proof in Georgetown and get a tattoo.Go to the National Arboretum or Botanical garden, go down and hang out at the wharf. Navy yard Park is really cool. check out the sight. National Cathedral is cool, great architecture so its the shrine of the immaculate conception. Yes, there are segway tours, I've never been because I hate tours, I like to explore on my own. There are tons of things you can do. check out this list of free or nearly free thing to do in DC. http://washington.org/visiting/browse-dc/attractions/100-free-things-to-do
I still think you should go to jinx proof.
Segway tours are fun, but QUITE expensive--I'd say to avoid them.
You may want to purchase a pass for the Tourmobile, which circles the National Mall, allowing you on-off privileges for a day (I believe they also throw in a second day free of charge).
http://www.tourmobile.com
The major tourist attractions are the Smithsonian Air %26amp; Space Museum, the Smithsonian American History Museum, the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, the US Capitol, the Washington Monument, the National Archives, the Lincoln Memorial and walking by the White House (you can only get inside if you arrange for passes several months ahead through your US Congressman's office).
A "hot spot" for dining these days is the "Penn Quarter" section of 7th Street, NW, which is only a few blocks from the National Mall. If you prefer drinking, try the spots on Capitol Hil, Georgetown, or the Adams-Morgan neighborhood.
You could visit the Washington Monument, it has grass surrounding if you wanted to buy sandwiches and just eat there like a picnic. It is like a light house you travel up to the very top and there are windows so you could see all of Washington D.C. I suggest making this your first stop to get a feel for where everything is in D.C
http://www.nps.gov/wamo/index.htm
I don't know if your into the monuments and everything but you could visit the white house. There is a gate so you must stand a distance way. Bring a camera take photos. You could also visit the Lincoln Memorial. A statue of Lincoln sitting in his chair. I would say both these things are boring to visit but its history and thats what makes it fresh!
Smithsonian museums are the best!
http://www.si.edu/
You could visit the zoo, go to the AIr and Space Museum, African Art Museum, or even Natural History Museum!
I have never been on a Segway Tour and can't give you info on that. I also haven't been to many park either and can't inform you about that. Sorry!
= Go visit:
National Cathedral
Holocaust Memorial Museum
The Memorials (Korean, Vietnam, WW1, WWII, Great Depression, Jefferson, Lincoln, etc.)
Arlington National Cemetery (Graves of the Kennedys, Changing of the guards, Grave of the Unknown Soldier)
Georgetown
Ford Theatre
Chinatown has nice restaurants. There's a little place called space bar that's very casual and fun.
For museums and such check out the Smithsonian.
Gatecrash into Barack Obama's banquet hall and come out a celebrity.
Get drunk on U Street.
have a coffee with president obama in the white house =)kens5 medical city dallas
