shogun Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 It's my birthday, so wherever we go needs to have good cocktails. Well, 2 Amys is near Cafe Deluxe, which I know to have good cocktails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfoodie Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Parking near 2 Amy's sucks ventworm nut. First, Happy Birthday! Second, you might want to try parking in the Giant lot behind 2Amys. There are usually spots there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 What about Hanks? Although it's tough to do HH without a bar. We're still thinking of Firefly - I'd suggest Dino but mdt was just there last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yeah, aren't you on your honeymoon or something? Me and the missus might be up for stopping off at Firefly. Though I am in jeans and a t-shirt-- a swanky designer t-shirt however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Trouble is recognizing people. I was at Dino last night and I knew mdt was there too, but I had no clue what mdt looked like. I've actually been contemplating this dilemma ever since our first outing (which was then an eGullet thing). We were all supposed to meet at Firefly and someone claimed that he would grab the round table in the bar in the window. Unfortunately some non-eGullet people got there first and were subjected to several people asking them some incomprehensible questions. My solution is this: whenever Rockwellians agree to meet wherever, they should raise their glasses every 15 minutes or so with a toast "TO ROCKS." That oughta do it.

Heather Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 The Happy Hour deals, particularly the wine(s) by the glass are a good deal + the HH bar food. On Fridays they are usually slammed, but the HH deals are available on any night. Tuesdays HH lasts 'til 10 pm!

Al Dente Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Heading to Palena tonight with a co-worker who doesn't get out much. I took him to 2Amys a while back (which he was crazy about) and then we had a cocktail at Palena where his mouth watered over the menu despite us being stuffed with pizzas, prosciutto, and various other Pastan treats. I may have to spring for a multi-course meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
