Hard call
ok figure this one. My brother's 50th birthday. I had thought Bucks, Cashions, maybe Birch and Barley. He does not eat anything from the sea. Now he says maybe something with an asian flavor with perhaps a bit of heat. My sister in law does not like South Asian food. It should probably be downtown, but at least bus/taxi from downtown. I thought Zengo, but the mixed metaphor there does not work for me. (I find it too, well, something, but this is not about Zengo).
Anyone have any thoughts? Elyssa?

There is a negril right by Howard University. Not a sitdown place though.
open monday ight
In for a conference, going out with a couple of folks I never see. I am looking for a styley type room, not too bright, interesting food, not off the chart expensive...within taxi of the Hynes center..
I went to someplace a couple of years ago that had a fab sit-down bar with great seafood. I think it was in South Boston. Be grateful for any recs.
Help...Heading to Washington DC for one day (tomorrow)...need inexpensive meals around Smithsonian.
I have to say that Breadline is my go-toplace near the American History museum A bit of a walk but delish.
Black's restaurant group? which one to try?
I go to Addie's regulary for lunch, it is a 15 dollar lunch (no booze) if that helps. Agree about Black Salt. The other thing about Black Salt is that they have an outstanding happy hour, there are usually tables if you get there before 6.
Seeking locavore simple regional fare
I was going to say Nora's but you have been. ? Nora's asian? It is very good.
All this FEAR is making me HUNGRY!
I like the Maine Ave wharf-mostly for crabbie things though
Help me figure out what to do in 3 hours between North Bethesda/Rockville and Dulles?
How about Addies in North Bethesda? I have taken my kids there for lunch.
Good eats near the Washington Convention Center
surprised no one has mentioned corduroy. very close to the convention center. Not a fan of Againn-I think the food is ordinary...
What's good for dinner these days? Anything in the Union Station/Capitol Hill area?
Johnny's half shell is good-close walking distance to Union station
One dinner in DC - Woodley Park, Cleveland Park, Adams Morgan areas
I agreee with Alyssa. Palena is fab.

Tomato dishes
I wouldn't know about a blight-I put up 75 lbs of mostly heirloom toms.....
PYO picking accident: blackberries, raspberries and apples
Thanks. everyone. I had washed the blackberries, but the raspberries, I just put in the bag. Some of the blackberries got frozen in light syrup. We will see....

What about Rays the Steaks?
PYO picking accident: blackberries, raspberries and apples
Any thoughts on preserving? I would like the most versatility. I have 20+ lbs of apples, 5 lbs of blackberries, and 2+ pounds of raspberries. I thought about making freezer jam, but I would prefer something I could put into a pie or use for cobblers or could even make brambles with in dead of winter....
I was thinking about just freezing most of the blackberries, then making an apple blackberry compote. Any thoughts?
arroz con pollo
Rincon is surprisingly good. Plenty of friends get their Paella and serve it to guests.
What's the 2nd best sandwich place in DC?
Duh. read too quickly. I thought Litteri's not listrani's. I think the listrani's on macarthur blvd is mediocre, and their eggplant parm isnt particularly good.
What's the 2nd best sandwich place in DC?
I didnt know that there was more than one-the 4th and Morse-by the farmer's market.
What's the 2nd best sandwich place in DC?
The meatball parm is to die for. Eggplant is ok, but the eggplant wasnt 'sturdy" enough and was abit greasy.

Cant believe you missed Stella's!! it is fab.
Recently moved to NOVA - Lunch & Dinner in Eden Center?
Kojo did a piece on this last month-it was very interesting.

Birthday dinner Sat
For a variety of reasons have to take the kids along. They are restaurant savvy, well behaved, and we go early but probably a bar with small plates is not ideal-particularly since my 13 year old is capable of eating 2 adult meals. Having said that, don't want to miss checking out someplace good. There are 3 restaurants that I have been wanting to try on the 14th st corridor-Posto, Masa 14 and Birch and Barley. Anyone have thoughts?
Where to buy salt cod (baccala)?
I got some on Christmas eve at the Maine ave fish markets-the one on the right is where I got it. They had a lot of it.
You could also call Balducci's on Old Georgetown. You will pay $$$ but they might have it.
There is also an Italian deli in downtown bethesda.
What are you making?
? Best steak in DC proper?
I had forgotten about Charlie Palmer-we went there. Thanks all!
