Tuesday May 6 works for me.

We can eat in the Gallery Place area or take the green line two 2 stops up to U street and go to Ben's Chilli Bowl.

I am fine with either one.

If we are meeting at Gallery Place, what kind of food does everyone like?

I'm fine with any option! I must say Ben's Chili Bowl sounds very tempting though (hard to find such a place where I live in France!)

Especially when the preferred destinations usually have some Michelin Stars.

Unfortunately, we do not get in to town until the 8th and sadly will miss seeing fredsxb this time. Maybe this summer if we get out to the West Coast.

True story, when I first moved to DC a friend asked if I wanted to go get "a chili half-smoke" and I said "I don't do drugs."

FYI, a chili-half smoke is a sausage with chili sauce on the top. Tasy!

Another option is "Shady Chinese Food," which is my favorite type of chinese food. I think our European friends will be surprised to know that for $3.50 then can have a sit down meal with an entree, rice, and tea...

I should be able to do lunch, so long as I'm not randomly closing on a new house or something. Just gotta be back to DCA in time for my 3:45 flight...

That's too bad. I do hope we'll be able to see each other this summer though!

Whats the deal?

Do we have a location and day yet?

I think Ben's would be a good option if eveyone likes chili and hot dogs. They also have good milk shakes as well as some other non hot dog options.

If people do not want to go to Ben's Chili Bowl I have some other options in the Gallery Place area.

Ben

Tuesday May 6th at Ben's Chili Bowl sounds great to me!

How about everyone else?

So how many are we so far?

I'll probably come with a friend.

On a different note, any advice on where I could go have a drink after dinner tonight?
