I don't think they are Metro-accessible, but in the past, when something's been scheduled that's not on the Metro, someone who's driving to the event has offered to pick people up (and after the event is over, drop people off) at a Metro stop on the way.

I should be there around 6:30 pm as well.

The best laid plans --- I got guilted by a neighhbor into attending my coop's budget meeting tonight.
Sorry I'll miss the Hamlet -- kind of liked the one in Pasadena when I lived out there.

No go for me either day. I'll be using my 1/month trip beyond the VA beltway for a wine importer tasting event this Sat afternoon in a lovely Reston strip mall.;)

Directions: Take I66 to Route 123 South, Turn left onto Route 50 and then left into the shopping center. Minerva's is in the center of the strip mall there.

I've updated the date on p1 of the thread.

I'm fine with either dining option. The only reason I wrote in favor of Minerva Indian Cuisine was that I couldn't (and still can't) find online menus for Bistro Pasargad. If anyone has a strong preference one way or the other, I'll happily defer.

Ah, looks like I won't be able to make it this month! I'll be in the process of moving apartments this coming week...boo!

WINNER: Minerva Indian Cuisine, 10364 Lee Hwy, Fairfax, VA
Runner-Up: Bistro Pasargad, 11725 Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA

Took a little trip to see where these places were actually located and to be fair to our DC and inside the beltway friends, I'm going to stick with Minerva due to its location.

"Posted now" :)

I believe that's the same strip mall as Hooters, no? :)

Yes it is - no comment on your chosen frame of reference :p

Sigh.

And after all that, I'm out :(

Thanks to something that came up Friday. I have to go to NY tomorrow for a 4:30 PM meeting and dinner. Even if I were taking the shuttle, and it were on-time, I couldn't make it out to Minerva in time. Rest assured, I'd much rather be dining with y'all than spending $400+ a night for a hotel in NY.

Y'all have fun. And thanks for thinking of me in setting the new date.

Sorry GHF - next time.

Please speak up now if going back to WEDNESDAY for dinner is an issue for anyone. Since GHF can't make Tuesday (and he was the reason we flipped it), I know of a couple people for whom Wednesday is likely easier so would prefer to switch to wednesday.

Will update the posts above.

HH this week is now on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25th @ 7pm

MINERVA's Indian Cuisine near the 50/123 intersection (and in the Hooters shopping center for folks who use the same landmarks as bhatnasx ;) )

I'm out. Sorry!

I'll be coming from the downtown area (near Farragut West). I can take the metro out to Vienna (or wherever) and meet someone there. Just suggest a time.
