I would be interested in an early week meetup. I am in town most Mon-Wed nights for the near future.

I'll be at the London DO this weekend and one last TK IST G fare run next weekend so Mondays are out. Where in Arlington? Closer to a metro stop is much better for adult beverages. Other than that, I'm in.

Cheers

I typically stay at the Key Bridge Marriott, walking distance to Rosslyn Metro. Anything in that area, Courthouse/Clarendon, or even Georgetown would be convenient for me.

I could do Tuesday night.

As for venue, Fuega Cocina has been getting good buzz and has a surprisingly plausible menu (lengua tacos) for a Mexican restaurant in Clarendon. Or there is American Tap Room or EatBar, both of which are more along the snack and drink lines than actual dinners (which might work).

Tuesday works for me. If we go for dinner, I vote for tapas or the Lebanese place near Courthouse.

Ballston resident here. I vote for any establishment with a nice Mileage Plus Dining bonus!

Probably can't do dinner Tuesday, but if people will be around Clarendon or Courthouse later on I'd be glad to meet up then.

I live in Courthouse and hope to be able to join a dinner or HH in the near future depending on travel schedule. Will try to follow this thread a more closely.

I vote for American Tap Room in Clarendon at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, with drinks at the bar starting at 6:30 for early arrivals.

I've eaten at both ATR and Fuega Cocina in the last few weeks, and both were good but Fuega Cocina was a bit pricy for what it is (and what we're after).

So far, it looks like potentially interested parties are:

Sounds good to me. Do you think we need a reservation? I have no idea how busy they get on a Tuesday night in February, but I recall a previous get-together that deteriorated fairly quickly due to a long wait for tables.

I'll try to make it to dinner on Tuesday, but it'll depend on how much sleep I get on the SAA flight from JNB tonight.
