With the extended pay-for-parking hours in DC, I'm inclined to choose something in VA. We've done lots in Clarendon recently, how about something in Pentagon City? We could start at Zen Bistro and Wine Bar ($3 beer, $4 sangria and selected glasses of wine from 5pm to 7pm) and migrate to a restaurant -- Lebanese Taverna, Ristorante Murali, Noodles & Co., or Sine Irish Pub come to mind as possibilities -- if the mood strikes.

Monday is doable for me, though I will probably be a bit loopy from a red-eye.

I prefer not doing Sine just because my boss eats dinner there every night.

Both Monday and Wednesday work for me.

Mon or Wed is possible for me as well. I second the no Sine, and I'm not keen on Lebanese Taverna. They have lost their luster, IMO.

Those days don't work for me. I'm unavailable pretty much every night next week.

gvdIAD Jul 15, 2010 11:10 am

Monday it is.

I'll plan on being at Zen Bistro and Wine Bar around 6:00 pm. If you want to arrive earlier, Happy Hour prices ($3 beer and $4 for sangria and selected glasses of wine) are in effect beginning at 5:00 pm. Depending upon how hungry we are -- Zen Bistro has some very interesting appetizers to accompany Happy Hour -- we'll pick a place for dinner, probably heading to dinner a little after 7:00 pm.

Hope to see many of you there.

Please count me in. I'll try to arrive before 7pm at Zen to meet up before going to dinner.

Just a reminder: we'll be meeting for Happy Hour at Zen Bistro and Wine Bar at Pentagon Row (Pentagon City Metro Station on the Yellow and Blue lines) around 6:00 p.m. tonight. Even if you don't realize that you can attend until the last minute, please drop by and join us. Hope to see you tonight.

By the way, if someone is unfamiliar with Pentagon Row, you get there from the metro by walking through the food court level of the mall and outside the far end.

LOL! The boss is out of town so I'm stuck working overtime. He comes back on Thursday morning and I'm booked on a flight to PDX that afternoon!! :D

It looks like Alexandria will be having its Restaurant Week - with 3 course dinners for $35.00 - from August 20 to August 29. I've made a reservation for a party of 6 at the Grille at the Morrison House, site of a successful Restaurant Week meal a couple of years ago, for 7:00 pm on Sunday, August 22. FYI: Sunday is half-priced wine night, though it's possible that the promo will be suspended during Restaurant Week.

So, who's in?

1. gvdIAD
2. Condition One
3. EdisonCarter
4. EdisonCarter+1
5. uva185
6. Global_Hi_Flyer

I'm in (+1) for the Aug. 22 dinner at the Grille at the Morrison House.

uva185 Jul 19, 2010 12:41 pm

Count me in for Morrison House too.

Global_Hi_Flyer Jul 19, 2010 2:32 pm

COunt me as a probably for Morrison House, depending on specifics. A month out is pretty early to commit, but I am interested.
