What bars/restaurants can we watch UFC 107 in MD/DC/VA area?
Why go out to the bar to watch this? The bars that show the UFC fights get way too crowded with too many drunken people with no manners. The last UFC fight I went to see at a bar, I missed about half of it from the distractions around me.

Washington DC Downtown waterfront?
I am going to DC in a few week and was wonder does any one know where downtown DC waterfront is located? I been there many years ago but don't remember the address. I remember walking down a long street with shops and restaurant and ending up by the water. There were boats at the small dock and street performers. Any info is helpful. Thanks!Washington DC Downtown waterfront?
Could also be Georgetown.Washington DC Downtown waterfront?
You're thinking of Maine Avenue, Southwest. It's located more or less behind L'Enfant Plaza, and walking distance from the National Mall. There are several restaurants, including a Phillips Seafood, a live fish market, a marina, and at the end of the row is Arena Stage. I've never seen street performers there myself, but it's the type of place you could indeed see them.
UPDATE
I agree with Jessica--the description could also apply to Georgetown, particularly Washington Harbor along the Potomac. If this video shows the place you're thinking of, it's indeed Washington Harbor.

DC place with Good food, Great Atmosphere?
I wanna have a birthday outing soon and was wondering where in DC to go?? im thinking an eatery/ restaurant with great music and a cool atmosphere. I would even go for a super fancy restaurant, but the point is I want good food and a great atmosphere which is great for a group. Where to?!DC place with Good food, Great Atmosphere?
There are a bunch of restaurants by the Penn Quarter area (around the Verizon Center). I would reccomend Zengo, Zatyina, Cafe Atlantico, Rosa Mexicana, or Matchbox. I have always been partial to Matchbox.DC place with Good food, Great Atmosphere?
There are two Indian restaurants with yummy food and good atmosphere. We ate at both, so either is good!

I'm going to Washington DC for the weekend. Any suggestions for must see places and places to eat?
I have already been there once before and saw all the monuments and museums...I'm looking for different places to go/see/eat.
For example:
Restaurants
Bars
Clubs
little know treasures :)I'm going to Washington DC for the weekend. Any suggestions for must see places and places to eat?
Georgetown/M St is one area, but not handy by public transit. The U st area (on the green line) is on the younger side, more trendy and cheaper than the Georgetown area. Plenty of good spots.
Also as far as restaurants. If you're looking for something a little nice try Art %26amp; Soul, Art used to be Oprah's personal chef and he has appeared on Top Chef as a guest judge a few times. It's elegant homey food if that makes sense. If you like Italian and you do go to Georgetown try Filomena's.
Georgetown has great restaurants and bars. try Wisemiller's on 36th street for lunch. Then go to M street for shopping, bars, and lots of restaurants. Rhino's and Third Edition are good bars.I'm going to Washington DC for the weekend. Any suggestions for must see places and places to eat?

Check out a place called 'Prince Cafe'.

They are quite popular, especially later in the evening.What is the best Hookah/Shisha place in DC?

Dont the cherry blossoms come out pretty soon? Walk along and check them out, stop and buy a couple hot dogs and a coke.
What about a park. And bring a great picnic blanket (and if you don't have a picnic basket, get a brown bag) and a picnic blanket with some great cheese and wine, and grapes, and small sandwiches, I think that would be really romanic. You could do all that for under 50.00 easy.

Does anybody know any restaurants in DC where servers make great money?
When I say great money, I mean 80-100 per shift on weekdays, and maybe 150+ on weekends. I've tried several restaurants and they all have been disappointments. I don't want anything too fancy and upscale, but I do want something that has consistent high volume and a decent tipping clientele. I need to pay off some credit card bills(not alot) so I figure serving part time would help me achieve this goal.Does anybody know any restaurants in DC where servers make great money?

Yeah. Dick's Hang out. It is a gay eatery.

If you're still in the DC area, there's a winery in Maryland called Linganore which carries Tej (I don't believe they make it, just carry it.).
http://www.linganore-wine.com/
In the website, they also list area retailers that carry their wines, so you may not have to trek all the way out to the winery...although they have free tastings so it could be worth the trip.
Ironically, if I recall correctly, I think that at the winery they mispronounce the wine "tezh"Where can I purchase tej wine (honey wine) online?

Does anyone know of any good restaurants near Hotel Washington in DC?
Old Ebbitt's Grill is just a block or two north of there!Does anyone know of any good restaurants near Hotel Washington in DC?
You're very lucky - Hotel Washington is right near the White House, at 15th and Pennsylvania, and also very much near the Penn quarter with great restaurants.
There are a number of good restaurants right near freedom plaza. Although mostly known as a great place to have a cocktail while you watch the sun set, the Sky Terrace Restaurant in your hotel is good, if not stellar. As is the Willard Room and Occidental Grill in the Willard Hotel, practically next door. Before I leave the general area of your hotel, I'll point out there is an excellent national chain (Cosi) and local chain (Potbelly's) for lunch sandwiches, just on the other side of Lafayette square.
On Freedom Plaza (about a block and a half east of you) are several options. On the south side of the plaza is the Reagan International Trade Center. While I don't know the sit down restaurant at all, you can not miss with the food court in the basement for breakfast or lunch. There is some security to get into the buidling - don't bring a penknife with you to the Reagan Center.
On the north is the Shops at National Place, which also has a food court, but there are a couple of great restaurants, too.
Les Halles des Paris is a good french restaurant. Not the best, but solidly good.
But you are very close to even better restaurant areas if you walk about 9 or 10 blocks or take metro one stop to Gallery place. If you go there, you can choose from three of Jose Andres, one of Washington's most accomplished chefs. Jaleo is a wonderful spanish tapas restaurant, usually full, so make a reservation if you can. Cafe Atlantico, started by Andres, but kitchen now run by Katsuya Fukushima, is Caribbean/Nuevo Latino, with a great tasting option. My favorite is Zaytinya, a mediterranean mezze place which is very hot, with a great list of wines by the glass.
Also in this area, check out H street between 6th and 7th, and 7 street from Jaleo (at F and I) is Chinatown, which has not just chinese food but food from all over the place. Some of my favorite places here include Eat First, a little hole in the wall, as well as the Lei Garden, which has an excellent lunch buffet. Also Tony Cheng's Mongolian Barbecue is very good, although it is traditional Mongolian Barbecue, not one of these trendy chains. On 7th street are a few chain restaurants, but also La Tasca, another tapas restaurant, less renowned and more traditional than Jaleo, but also less expensive, and more likely to have a table. :-)
Also in this area, at 400 8th street is Teaism - a great place to pick up a good breakfast or lunch, with fast dinner options also. I really like Teaism - they have a great selection of tea-inspired cuisine, and they are local.
If you're willing to go a little further, you can go to Woodley Park- Zoo station on Metro's red line (get on at Metro Center) and walk over the Duke Ellington bridge to Columbia road and 18th street, the center of cuisine in Washington's Adams-Morgan neighborhood. While for me, the highlight of this neighborhood is the Ethiopian restaurants, especially Fasika's and Meskerem, there are many restaurants here, including Lauriol Plaza, known as the best Mexican Restaurant. Nearby DuPont Circle also has a lot of restaurants, including near by Nora, one of the best restaurants in DC and the late night spot Kramerbooks and afterwords Cafe.
In the other direction from your hotel, in the next 10 to 12 blocks are other restaurants. My favorite, and one of the best restaurants in DC is Vidalia, at 1990 M Street. Run by another of DC's top chef's Jeff Buben, it's really wonderful southern inspired cuisine. Another in this area ix Kaz Sushi Bistro.
ruby tuesday and friday's downtown on 7th and h st nw chinatown there's hotel on the corner of 11th and h st nw
wash dc here is a link http://www.washingtonplazahotel.com/dining/Does anyone know of any good restaurants near Hotel Washington in DC?
Wow! I can't match Julie's thoroughness. However, I'd recommend TenPenh. Right at 10th and Penn (5 blocks away.) Very good Asian Fusion.

Wow! I can't match Julie's thoroughness. However, I'd recommend TenPenh. Right at 10th and Penn (5 blocks away.) Very good Asian Fusion.
