legant Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 You know what’s missing from this thread? A compendium of $20 Tuesday restaurants. I’ve scanned through pages 17-37; however, I initially focused on $20 Tuesdays that I attended... I’ve overlooked several places. Here’s my list, arranged by state. I’ve listed the restaurant, cuisine, address and phone number. DC Dino, Rustic Italian, 3435 Connecticut Avenue NW, Cleveland Park, 202-686-2966 Hitching Post, American classics and soul food, 200 Upshur St. NW, 202-726-1511 Spices, Asian Fusion, 3333A Connecticut Avenue, NW, Cleveland Park, 202-686-3833 Oohs and Aahs, soul food, 1005 U St. NW, U Street Corridor, 202-667-7142 Etete, Ethiopian, 1942 9th Street NW, U Street Corridor, 202-232-7600 Birreria Paradiso,??, 3282 M Street NW, Georgetown, 202-337-1245 [i'll post MD and VA later this week.] Help me fill in the blanks. PM me with any additions or corrections; it will be much easier to have edits collected in one place. I’ll then update the list, post it, and update it every four-six weeks.

Scott Johnston Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 New $20 Dollar Tuesday Post: JOE"S NOODLE HOUSE on TUESDAY AUGUST 21st In case it is not "hot" enough for you...or the summer has you "numb" with the heat, it's time for a DR get together! I am organizing a summer return to Joe's Noodle House on Tuesday August 21st at 7 PM. Joe's has a amazing array of both spicy and non spicy dishes. The best way to experience the food is with a large group so that everyone can share! Joe's Website: http://www.joesnoodlehouse.com/ Joe's thread: http://www.donrockwell.com/index.php?showtopic=747&hl=joe's+noodle Washingtonian Review: http://www.washingtonian.com/restaurantreviews/492.html Washington Post Review: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?node=cityguide/profile&id=883676 Joe's is about 4 blocks from the Twinbrook metro. The station is on Chapman between Bouic and Halpine. Exit on the West side of the station, and turn North on Chapman. Make a left on Halpine, go 1 block to a right on Rockville Pike, and walk 2.5 blocks to Joe's on the right. Joe's is in the same shopping center as On the Border, in the back around the corner (facing North). I can pick up and return a group to the metro station. Please PM or leave a post if you would like to come. I will make a reservation and as always please bring cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielK Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 UPCOMING $20 TUESDAYS: Anyone who wants to join is always welcome! Post here or PM me for updates. After a quiet summer, event-wise, Labor Day approaches, and it's time to start up the $20 Tuesday thread again! We have one on the docket so far, but looking in the archives, in the Spring we cancelled 3 events that need owners to restart: Tiffin, Addis Ababa, and Da Rae Won. Any volunteers? All you need to do is propose a date, and (if necessary) make a reservation. The topic (and my mailbox) take care of the rest! Joe's Noodle House, Rockville, Tuesday August 21st, 7pm Home of "extra spicy" AND "numbing". Bring on the endorphins!
