CrescentFresh Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 [A little quiet here this afternoon...]Anyone want to have lunch at China Gourmet tomorrow? We can't let the Rockville Pikers have all the fun. Since The Grill is not open, I'm thinking crabcakes from somewhere to take to RFK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Would anyone care to meet at Corduroy after work this evening (that is if anyone other than I is at work today) for a happy hour. Yesterday was the 1st anniversery of DR.com and a Corduroy happy hour gathering was the first time that Don went public with its existence. It only seems fitting to return to the scene of the crime, so to speak. Is anyone else game? Lent officially ends today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at work But I could probably be persuaded to make the trek across the river - at least for a little while. May as well end the week right - not that I need to go out AGAIN! I'll aim to be there around 5:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Make it walking distance from L'Acad and I might drop by.

ustreetguy Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Don't know if it's a happy hour as such, but Jaleo is close by and they make a decent (not good) caipirinha when not slammed. In addition to the places Chris already mentioned, if people are just looking for a place to drink and don't care about food options (and why should we since dinner is already set), there's always Daily Grill (yuppies & tourists staying at the hotel) at the Bethesda Metro Center, Union Jack's (large pub-type place) on St. Elmo's Ave which is just a block away from L'Academie, Willie Reed's (sports bar) on Norfolk Ave, or Rock Bottom Brewery.A little further away are Divino Lounge on Wisconsin Avenue, Old Homestead's bar in the Chevy Chase Bank building or Tommy Joe's - all of which are about a block away from the Metro Center but in the opposite direction of L'Academie. Jaleo might be a bit further than some people may want to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a new place called Taste of Jerusalem about which I posted a few days ago. It just soft opened and is ramping up its preparations; needs work but I think it may have some potential. Stop by and give them some tips. Across from the new fire station. Then there are always the old reliables, the Half Moon BBQ and Quarry House, for down and dirty burgers and such. Now if Michael would ever get the new Ray's open............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
