Wed 16th at Lauriol Plaza in Dupont Circle? Free validated parking in back. Metro accessible. Great chips and salsa, margaritas and food in general.
Or my usual other recommendation: Jaleo in Crystal City. Free parking after 5:00 pm in adjacent parking garage. Happy hour pricing on food and drinks until 7:00 pm.

I love Lauriol Plaza but, unless I find a job before next Wednesday, I won't be able to make it. 
Good news is, the job I am hoping for is located in Bethesda so I will be able to make it to more happy hours if I get it ... keep your fingers crossed for me

Next week is Restaurant Week so my dining out budget is spent (and then some). I'll have to pass.

I second GA's suggestion for nice meal during Restaurant Week. But is it not a DC event? I thought we were going to try for N VA again.

and another one link2 Lastly, a blog of dc foodies so that one can read what others are saying here
I suggest that any group over 8 - 10 may be difficult for this event. Hope I did not go over the top

As far as restaurant week goes, I agree to limit it to a group of 8 people. First come, first served
There can be more than one group if there is sufficient interest.

I jumped on the restaurant idea without checking my calendar -- I'm still interested but am booked the entire week already and don't have a free evening until Friday the 18th. If the folks interested in doing the Rest-Week thing are interested then, let me know otherwise have a great time

Update on DC resturant week. I called about 6 places and seating times are early (before 6:30) or late (after 8:30). I think that it is a combination of checking too late or very popular resturants. Perhaps back to the first suggestion. I vote for Jaleo in Crystal City, Tue or Wed is ok with me.
