The 8th is the only option that works for me.... I take off the 9th PM.

I was in Union Station last night-- finally checked out the America restaurant. For a very comparable timeframe as the one we're considering (i.e. Thurs evening) they had loads of seating available inside, upstairs, and in the station atrium area-- my suggestion because of the views. Prices were good, and so was the food. My biggest complaint about menu items from various places in the US:

The menu makers didn't quite realize that Tijuana is not in the US, as all of the other menu items were referenced.


So............ Thurs. evening May 8 in the atrium seating area of America in Union Station??? Time TBD based on the Golds' schedule. I'm hoping for 7ish myself.

This works for me - see you Thursday.

FYI - that restuarant name is AMERICA ... there is a North, South and Central America out there.

If it's Thursday, May 8 I'll make it. And I'll bring Freddie, Jr unless dhammer53 kidnaps him.

Oh yes, for sure.... only that the menu attributed each and every item to a location in the US, except for the Caesar Salad, which listed Tijuana. Incidentally, the salad is the very very first item, in the uppr left of the menu.

See you guys Thurs.

Wanting to keep this on the first page in hopes of meeting several FTers on Thursday!

Thursday works for me. See you all there. FYI... there are several decent Irish Pubs across the street from Union Station.

Perfect, 8 May is the only day I am in DC or free next week. Please someone confirm the time later.

I'll actually be going to Georgetown to meet my sister later that evening (May 8th).. if I am invited and someone can point me towards a reasonable place to park, I'd like to meet the DC crew (since I end up here it seems all the time!)

Old Gold called and said that they should be in DC on Thursday afternoon so they can make it Thursday night.

There is a garage at Union Station or there is street parking around if you are willing to walk a few blocks.

Alysia, glad to hear an update on the Golds' plans.

So, how about 7:00pm at America in Union Station? Let's plan to sit in the outside atrium area.

I'll try to wear by red Roots Canada cap so people can ID the group.

See you there!!

I'm relatively new to FT, but I'm going to try to make it for a few minutes, just to say hi if possible. I've got a dinner date with a friend already planned, but I'm going to try to join you all maybe for a drink or something.

I might just be able to make this one

Did you get a new car?

Wish I could make it Thurs and Fri are usually booked for me.
