JLK Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I have been for drinks, but not food. Was quite surprised to learn that the place even has food. It's decidedly clubby - not to mention super-snooty- in there, or at least it was when I went (maybe six months ago?). Anyone been to Blue Gin in G-town.

squidsdc Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 It's quiet. Too quiet. How 'bout Nats tickets for tonite? My company has 2 tickets, good seats I'm told, and the person who "won" them cannot go...nor can anyone else in my office. I hate to just let them go to waste so Al or anyone, PM me if interested and I can arrange to get them to you. (I work downtown) Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this isn't a case of "a day late and a dollar short", I don't know what is. I was busy putting tonight's dinner together when you posted this. After last night's game (we got home from HH at Firefly and some more comestibles at Bistro du Coin--hey! it's on the way home and we were on foot) we arrived home in time to check into the eighth inning. Got to see the great comeback. WHAT A GAME!!! I would have risked the weather to go tonight. Oh, well. All I can say is, the next time somebody's got tickets they can't use, CALL ME (202-483-1792).

Al Dente Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I may have up to 3 extra tickets for tomorrow (Tuesday) night's FIRST PLACE Nats game. If anyone is interested in meeting at Eastern Market metro at 6:30 and heading to the game with me, let me know. Price of ticket= 1 beer for me. I have decent seats looking up the 3rd base line from the 3rd row of the upper deck. They're playing Oakland at 7:05. I should know later today exactly what the leftover ticket situation is. I'm waiting to hear if my brother, Derrick Dente, can make it to the game. Apologies in advance should this offer have to be rescinded due to family priorities.

Meaghan Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) According to the official DR.com calendar, the festivities are this evening: click here. A 5,000 gallon tanker hit a donkey on I-66 this morning and flipped. The driver is reportedly okay, but authorities said most of the unspecified booze spilled onto the roadway and evaporated. What a tragedy! The truck was bound for a delivery on Connecticuit Avenue, but no one was able to confirm where.

Also, what kind of infraction would one have to commit in order to get kicked out? Al, they are open till 2 am or whenever, but fear not - the festivities thereafter typically migrate next door to Timberlakes where more naughtiness ensues until 3 am or so. And I don't think you get kicked out of BdC. Unless you insist on them cooking the rice you brought with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For future reference, Trattoria e Pizzeria da Enrico in Kings Contrivance Village Center (Guilford Road) is worth the 2-3-mile detour off of Route 29. A divey strip-mall southern Italian place with food better than you'd expect, rumor has it they opened a second location in Dorsey's Search Village Center, and if that's the case, I suspect it won't be as good as the first.

bookluvingbabe Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Dithering between trying to find parking near Gailo and making my first Grill stop for lunch or sticking with 2 Amy's. Choices, choices... I'm also going to stop at the USDA Farmer's Market if it's not pouring around noon. I figure I need good provisions before I had up to WVA.

Nadya Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 If you get takeout from the Grill, you can park illegally at the entrance and quickly nip in and out. That's what I usually do. I'd be all over the Grill today, but stayed up really late over sushi last night...have to detox. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
