flygirl Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi, A friend is coming into town for a memorial tomorrow night at the University Club at 1135 16th street. I'm trying to think of good restaurants within walking distance and it occurred to me - is there a map, or other resource (preferably online) which shows restaurants by block or 'hood? This is such a basic question I feel dumb asking it, for all I know the Post food section does a decent job of that - but I thought I'd ask anyway. thanks.

crackers Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Google Maps has a useful, but not infallible tool to locate restaurants: Go to Google Maps and type in a location...say...1700 Pennsylvania Ave., n.w., washington dc. Once the map appears, click on "find businesses" in the top toolbar, (or click on "search nearby" in the balloon box over the actual location) and type in "restaurants" in the box that opens, then click "search businesses" button. The restaurant locations will pop up along with links and reviews. Great for locating the nearest Quiznos, but usually pretty good at locating other established places too. Even BLT Steak is already there. Works for other kinds of businesses as well such as massage parlors. [eta: link to 1135 16th St., NW ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escoffier Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I followed your link and it shows me a Trader Vic's at 16th and K. Did it come back after all these years?Well, she did say "not infallible" (wonder if they ever found the sunglasses I lost there in the 90's?)

The Hersch Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Actually, when did Trader Vic's close? I used to live not so far from there, but for the last twelve years or so I've hardly ever passed that way. I never ate at that Trader Vic's anyway (I ate at one in Boston when I was just a lad).
