Taste of DC
Taste of DC is this weekend, including Monday. There are 50ish participating restaurants and food trucks, plus beer and music. It's on Pennsylvania between 9th and 14th. 10 bucks to get in, which includes one drink, plus whatever you spend on tastings.
I am tied up on the weekend itself but thinking of heading down on Monday late afternoon (3ish). Anyone want to come along?

As long as it doesn't overlap with any potential Nats postseason games

It seems that the 18th is good for us and this morning I spoke to GoingAway who thinks that she also may be good for that evening.
The proposal has been for meeting at the Four Sisters on Strawberry Lane in Merrifield but that is, of course, subject to other suggestions.
Unfortunately I do not think we can expect to see much of DCA writer for the next few weeks.

I can try for the 18th, but Thursdays are almost always bad for me; I have a long-standing previous commitment that I already miss too often with travel.

I am fine with 4 Sisters. If you have not been in that area for a while, it may be unrecognizable with the new Target and the new Angelika Film Center. (I got 2 passes for the latter due to, uh, movie irrops.)

Four Sisters on Thursday 630PM is definitely on. I will make a reservation when we have a good fix on the size of the group.
This time we are staying at the new Hyatt House which opened this month somewhere behind the Strawberry Lane buildings. I have not looked back there for a while and have not yet even seen the hotel but have noticed that some marketer had creatively named it "The Mosaic District."
Also, there would be no problem doing a pickup at the Dunn Loring Station. Just PM.

I am not sure about the Hyatt House parking, but i think the best option for others is to park in the parking structure for the Target (which just opened within the past week).
I can also offer a ride if someone needs one, but not sure if I will drive to the West Falls Church metro in the morning or just go back home to Vienna to get my car at the end of the day.

The one that I am most interested is the restaurant promised by the operators of Black Salt from over the river on MacArthur Blvd. ^

Just a bump to let everyone know that we have a reservation tonight at Four Sisters for 630 and they said that they could handle any size group at that hour.
So if anyone else is in the area and wants to drop in, there will be a place at the table.
>>>Note to DCA writer: It ain't easy and you almost always need to have been there before in order to go on. Your time will come.
