If I'm in town, Wednesday works ... seems like a great way to start that 2008 thread *hint* *cough* *hint*

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Hint taken, but wasn't something about a tutorial mentioned?

Any particular restaurants anyone really wants to try (or avoid)? RW is always tricky -- some restaurants do it much better than others (I'm always annoyed when I go somewhere and find that there are only 2-3 entree choices). I see that there are a lot more DC choices than NoVA. From past RWs, I've been pleased with ps7's, Corduroy, Oceanaire, Acadiana, and TenPenh, though it's always possible that there are others that would be even better. If we're going to have decent choices, we should act sooner rather than later.

According to the Jan issue of Washingtonian, there are several venues which go beyond the special RW menu. Corduroy, Circle Bistro, Notti Bianche, Bistro Bis, Zola, Vidalia, etc are some choices. That issue also mentions that a few places have extended RW to 27-Jan. My only constraint is that I leave for SIN on Wed night from EWR. Mon or Tue are the only days that work for me.

Unfortunately, I'll have to miss BoyAreMyArmsTired as I'm not available on the 17th, since I leave for SIN on UA 803 early that afternoon.

Any other takers for Restaurant Week the 14th or 15th? (headinclouds has indicated that he's only available the 14th and 15th.) The earlier we get things firmed up, the better the choices that will be available to us.
