The 2011 DC Area Happy Hour Thread
Welcome all to the new 2011 DC Metro Area Happy Hour Thread!
Our Happy Hours aren't necessarily restricted to just Happy Hours - they can, and usually do, include lunch or dinner. One handy tip: Do go to an ATM and carry cash with you - its always easier to settle a bill if everyone has cash - rather than having 10 credit cards on the table. And we can let the host/hostess (organizer) use a credit card if they prefer. --------------------------------------------------------------- We do not have any currently scheduled events. The winter edition of DC Restaurant Week will occur from January 9 through January 15. If you're interested in making a reservation during that time period, please post to the thread; I suspect several of our members would be interested in joining you. We welcome all suggestions on locations, dates and times. We do make an effort to spread things out geographically, recognizing the dining diversity in the DC region. Generally, we try to have an event every four to six weeks. Out-of-town visitors are welcome at all of our events and are encouraged to post to the thread when they'll be in the DC area. We often try to schedule Happy Hours for dates when we know that visitors will be in town.

Did my spot on the waitlist carry over from the 2010 thread?
You are a real trooper to take on this job for the 3rd(?) year in a row, especially after your apt move last month. |
Pls don't remind him of how long he's been doing this - he may want to bail, and then where would we be? :eek: ;). Besides, I think he's up to four or so! ^

Ok, I keep hearing about how I've been missing out on Morrison Clark. I'll be there!

Hi everyone,
I'm a local WashingtonDC FTer - been a member for a year and a day now, but looking to get more involved in the local Washington DC area. I couldn't see a 2011 Thread yet, so I figured I'd post in here before in case anyone else had plans to start one. |
I will be in DC Jan 22 thru 27. If space opens up I would like to attend and bring a friend with.

Broms- Severna Park here, let me know if you ever want to meet up for a few cocktails on our side of the beltway. I've had little luck trying to get other BWI'ers to get out.
Happy Traveling! |

I was successful in expanding the Sunday Morrison Clark reservation to 8, so aviationkiwi+1 have cleared the waitlist.
Please let me know -- by posting to the thread or pm or email -- if you need to cancel your attendance for either event so I can clear the waitlist and, if necessary, advise the restaurant. Thanks. |
I won't be able to make it...going to a DO in Philly this weekend but I am available for drinks anytime here in DC so give me a holler.
