Great idea, but unlikely I could make it in to really enjoy it ... . I am considering trying for the waterfront movies on a Thursday night, similar idea but it doesn't start until later in the evening allowing time to get there, picnic, etc

Alexandria Restaurant Week -- featuring $35 three-course dinners -- will take place this year from August 19 through August 28.

Given our successful outings there in the past, I've made a reservation at The Grille at the Morrison House for Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 7:00 pm for a party of 6. Who's interested?

We do like The Grille a whole lot and, although we never make hard plans for VA so far in advance, for various reasons August 23 seems to be quite likely.

Put us down as probable and let me know when you need to know "definite."

No go on Fri's for me till end of Aug. 16th annual Hong Kong film festival at the Freer gallery and always try to see each film. I'm interested in the DC resturant week more than Alexandria's.

Your company is paying for you to stay at a hotel in CC? Have you moved?

Nope (on moved)

they know I just don't do inside the beltway for pretty much anything and if they wanted me to go (I didn't want to attend) I wanted to stay at the property.
