You know that we are always for that if we are in town but July is pretty much done for this year. Our next time in seems likely to be something like Aug 8-9, or maybe the 6th. I will know about that middle of next week and let you know.

We like Arties and once did a fairly good-sized (nine or ten) group there. We were unimpressed with a Copper Canyon when they first opened it in Boca Raton. Maybe they just were not yet ready for prime time (definition: My Visit ) and that was not representative of what they can do.

Put me down for the Prime Rib.

I am also interested in Artie's if it works with my schedule.

Thanks , both of you. I am up for whenever we can get a few together. Venue choice is not very important as I am a vegetarian....as long as I can find something.....

Count me in for Arties @ Fairfax! I normally go bowling at the opposite end of the building where Arties is located in, but I definitely will join this instead!

Although normally Thursdays don't work for me, I am available this coming Thursday. Would 6:30pm for drinks and 7:00pm for dinner work for you?

What's your pleasure? Something in Alexandria or Arlington? Anyone have some suggestions? A place you've been wanting to try?

C'mon people -- help me out here.

That works perfectly & let's shoot for Alexandria. I'd even be cool with cheese & crackers at the RCC.

Alexandria it will be -- and we can definitely do better than the cheese and crackers at the United Club.

Any suggestions for something in Old Town? Somewhere casual would be my preference. Does anyone know of someplace with decent happy hour specials on Thursdays?

We're talking Thursday the Twoth? I think I'll be in town,
so count me in, tentatively.

Don't know anything about happy hours in Alexandria, tho.
