Work dinner help
I need to find a place for around 20 people coming to Boston for a meeting. We'll be meeting near the Museum of Science. The majority are pretty adventurous eaters, so I'd like to do something more interesting than say, Legal Seafood. We've been to Helmand a number of times before, and everyone's enjoyed it, but I'd like something new. I was thinking of Myers +Chang, which I love, but was wondering if there was something closer. We've also enjoyed the Blue Room before, and that's probably close to the upper limit for us for price. Any suggestions?
Aujourd'hui or L'Espalier?
I liked both Aujourd'hui and L'Espalier, but not as much as I like No. 9 Park. I'd also second the recommendation to look at Clio, which was quite good (again, I like No. 9 Park best). My memory is that I liked Aujourd'hui better, but it's hard to tell.
I went to L'Espalier before they moved, and it was very intimate (small rooms with just a few tables) with somewhat fussy decorations. Aujourd'hui had a very large dining room with large windows onto the Park. Both were lovely and very Fancy Restaurant in a way that No. 9 Park isn't, but they were very different in character.
Where to buy spelt and farro in DC?
Hi all, thanks for the tips. Sorry if I was unclear, I definitely don't think they're the same thing, I'm looking for both.
Where to buy spelt and farro in DC?
I recently moved to DC (I live near Cleveland Park) and have been trying to find spelt and farro. I've been to three Whole Foods and two Yes! Organic Markets, as well as a few misc. stores that seemed promising. Not one has had either (I'm looking for the whole grains, not spelt flour). I tried ordering it online and the package was never delivered. Does anyone have any suggestions?
