We are really going to try hard to go.
I will throw out Rosa Mexicana or Clyde's at Gallery Place as a suggestion.

Cap City Brewery Union Station?
How about the Cap City Brewery next to Union Station. Save our guests a schlep on the subway. Plus they DO have beer, which I understand some Aussies have a fondness for. 
Where ever, count me in.

Rosa Mexicano gets mixed reviews for food but good for margaritas and wine. ^
But no beer buzz for the Aussies.

The wimp passed out in LAX and missed his redeye flight and slept all night at the airport. Those 10% alcohol Belgium Dracula's Blood lagers were the ruin of him.
I mean for a nation weaned on Bud Light, Pepsi Lite, and Miller Lite, anything above 3% is getting to be heavy duty I'd guess?

Irish (fake or real!) is also fine with us - whatever you folks suggest.
If anyone reading this is subway savvy .. can you tell me if I can get a direct train from Union Station to Naval Medical Center station in MD? We need to go there Thurs June 1 for dinner with a friend, who does not have a clue about the rail system, so I figgered someone here would be more practical use! @:-)
Also as Margaret has never been to DC we should probably buy an Entertainment Book I think. What expirty date do the USA book coupons have? (i.e. Here they all expire June 30 annually).
