Thanks to FlyerBeek for pulling this together. (And neither the service nor my absurdly long wait for the Orange Line at EFC afterwards are his fault.)

+1. The service might have been abysmal, but the food was good and the company even better! Thanks to those who braved the icy sidewalks to make it out on Thursday evening.

Only if they do not want me to take them to Metro or any destination.

We are staying in Arlington

Fireworks Pizza turned out to be a surprisingly good choice since it is a for-real bona fide restaurant with quite good food. Blindfolded, the pizza could have been mistaken for NY or Philly although it looked sort of different.

I believe I am free both of those evenings.

It has been a while since we have done anything in the city itself, so I would propose somewhere downtown-ish (i.e. Penn Quarter or thereabouts).

24th may work ... I favor Ballston/Clarendon/Rosslyn/Crystal City/Pentagon City, but certainly have some flexibility

Would the new(ish) DC incarnation of Tadich Grill (a classic San Francisco joint) work for folks? It's around Pennsylvania and 10th, about a 5 minute walk from Metro Center.

Works for me. Assuming my flight arrives DCA on time (4pm) I should arrive between 6-6:30pm.

I'm out-of-town this week, so I'm unable to make it this time. Tadich Grill looks like a good venue, though.
