Walrus Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I usually beg Tripewriter to take me down to the bar at Eve. It's not terribly convenient for us, especially as he drives from Arlington to Bethesda and back every day, but there's nothing that soothes my soul more than an Eve cocktail and some of Chef Armstrong's soup. Where do you all go to become human again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettashley01 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 A dirty vodka martini (yes I know most of you don't believe in them, but I do) at a quiet bar. And if I had to pick the bar, it would be Vidalia's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Ah, the pouty lunch: - Any one of the seasonal cocktails at Poste that features gin (oh my Hendricks! How I love thee!), plus mussels. - A masonic and a bruschetta from Liberty Tavern - A massive pitcher of cheap margaritas and queso at Mexicali, consumed outdoors, watching people Beezy, big lush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLK Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Delivery from Heritage India accompanied by whatever beer is in my fridge. Lots and lots of cheese at Dino accompanied by whatever Chris pours me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lackadaisi Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Typically, to the bar at Corduroy. If I want to bail from work early (which doesn't happen nearly often enough), Citronelle lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverbbrad Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 When I was slogging through some long, soul-sucking days in Tysons Corner, the short ribs at Colvin Run Tavern and a nice scotch would always make me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookluvingbabe Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Cocktail, gnocchi, burger and something decadent by Ann for dessert at the bar at Palena. With a damn good book in front of me. Haven't done it in ages.... Damn suburbs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPW Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 A couple of beers, a hangar steak, and a discussion comparing the relative (de)merits of Bukowski and Serge Gainsbourg at RTC did me well last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Beers, oysters, and wings at the bar at Johnny's Half Shell. Or beers and oysters at the bar at Corduroy. Hmm...I see a theme developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive-by Critic Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Pho, pho, and more pho. Better than chicken soup. Magic food. Always makes us feel better. Especially (or only) if the pho comes from Pho VN1 on Rte 1 in Beltsville. ' Ellen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexC Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 For me, a bad day at work makes me unwilling to deal with the aggravation of travelling more than two or three blocks from my house. Depending on the defcon level I'm operating at, I'll go with: - Fried oysters at Hank's, eat-in. I'm generally eating about twenty minutes after I leave. - Bacon Cheeseburger at Stoney's, takeout. Twenty minutes, from phone call to back home with food. - Mala tofu at Great Wall, delivered. It's at my door in ten minutes. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leaver Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 To Old Europe in Glover Park for the Schnitzel Old Europe and a tankard or 2 of Paulaner. Then down the street to Bourbon for a small-batch dessert. Yum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkduggins Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Last night after "one of those days" I had my favorite gin cocktail: an icy cold White Lady in honor of the highly unpleasant woman I had a meeting with. Soaked up the booze with steamed kim chee and mushroom dumplings. Then bed before 9:30. Sleep is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't by any chance in the banking industry, are you? She is a highly unpleasant white haired woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a highly unpleasant white haired woman. Nope, my unpleasant white lady was a brunette. My very plesant cocktail was formulated with Plymouth gin, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice and sugar.
