I'm currently overseas but hope to be home by early-Nov. I'm free Nov 08-10 and would be interested in Metro-accessible meet-up.

Thanks for the quick reply guys, glad to see the availability for that week.

So far seems like Thurs Nov. 9 looks likes the best date.
Some of you lucky FTs probably have Friday the 10th off since veterans day is the 11. Jump start your 3 day weekend.

On that note it's still a couple weeks out, hope more FTs have availability.


Anybody feel free to start throwing out ideas of places since I'm not familiar with the area.

I don't think Supra (a highly anticipated Georgian restaurant) is open yet, alas.

I am still hearing good things about the all-you-can-eat mezze at Ambar, a Balkan place in Clarendon. The other place high up on my to-try list is Salt Line, a seafood place near Nats Park.

But why don't you give us some ideas about any particular cuisines you like or don't like and we can use that to inform our suggestions?

I'm a foodie so I have super diverse palette / will eat everything. I just don't do Italian. Trying to watch my carbs and dairy.

Pref no Spanish/Sushi I get a lot of that in FL.
Does that help narrow it down?

Here's the menu for Ambar. Unlimited small plates for $35 a person. Does this work for everyone?

I've made a reservation for 4 people for Ambar for 7 p.m. on the 9th. I can adjust if we get more people committing.

I have been monitoring this thread for some time now hoping for one of these that lined up with my schedule. Looks like this one does. Do you all mind if I join you?
