    I thought this was an interesting article. The owner of Thai Ghang Waan is quoted. "The Surprising Reason that There Are So Many Thai Restaurants in America," by Myles Karp, in Munchies/Vice.

    Are the crowds still crazy? I heard about lines of people around the block waiting to get in when they first reopened.

    I'd never heard of Baltimore's The Block, but it kind of sounds like Hamsterdam from "The Wire."

    I only got a handshake at the end of my meal the other night. Now I feel cheated.

    Frasca in Boulder is supposed to be very good. --- [Do a search in this thread for Frasca - there are eleven entries. DR]

    That's the one! Enjoy your trip!

    I have to check the spelling of so many words before I post! I used to know how to spell all (or almost all) commonly used words.

    I think many of us will be joining you as bad spellers. I used to be an excellent speller, but I blame spellcheck for my gradual decline in spelling ability.

    I appreciate that. I should print out these instructions, swallow my pride, and practice. I have poor depth perception, so that doesn't help my cause. I also get freaked when people are waiting for me or zooming by me as I'm trying to back in.

    When I was getting my license in Rhode Island a million years ago they didn't require it. I'm therefore a terrible parallel parker. I lived in Dupont Circle with a car for 13 years but always had a parking space so never got any good at it. That being said, even I could have parked in the space in Al Dente's video.

    My parents were recently in town for a college basketball tournament. My father especially isn't an adventurous eater. At all. They were staying by the convention center, and they were all over Cap City for dinner. They said it was mobbed on a Thursday night. Funny enough we'd eaten at the location near Union Station when I was in town looking at law schools 20 years ago.

    Wow. I never heard of this place. As I started reading the thread I thought admission must be $20-30, but it's free. Wow. I'll check it out one of these days.

    I never heard of those but I must try one. My mouth is watering looking at that photo. Omg.

    The Ambar Capitol Hill website references an unlimited dinner offer for $35 per person and also the Balkan Experience for $49. I assume the $35 offer doesn't include drinks. When I did the Balkan Experience our table had countless refills of a Bulgarian (I think) red wine. Maybe it would have repulsed those with a more sophisticated wine palate, but I enjoyed it!

    Clyde's and other not groundbreaking just decent places are often good options for when I'm with my mostly unadventurous husband, my eccentric father-in-law, and my 4-year-old. :-) In fact, I'd classify the place we ended up, River Hill Grill, as not groundbreaking just decent.
  17. dracisk
    Yes, we've been to that Clyde's a few times. That was our fallback in case we couldn't find something else to try.

    I'm familiar with him, but I wouldn't have recognized him ... so thank you. :-)

    I know Dudamel!

    Funny, I realized after reading your response that I wasn't clear in my original post. For some reason my husband didn't want beer that night, but we both wanted a place with a bar. I had wine and my husband had a margarita IIRC. We ended up at a place I'd never heard of before: River Hill Grill in Clarksville. It was nothing special but just what we were looking for that night. They had a bunch of different burger options (various toppings). It was casual and not too crowded, so my 4-year-old and eccentric father-in-law fit in fine. :-)

    I noticed on their website that they now have a Foggy Bottom location. There's also a link on their website indicating that franchising is beginning soon.

    Love and miss those joints.

    It seems like it SHOULD be spelled "Capital," but what're you gonna do?
  24. dracisk
    There is a thread in the multiple locations guide. The last post from 2011 says they're closing their location across from Union Station and opening inside Union Station, but that never happened.

    Oh my goodness. I always have so many overripe bananas and I love Nutella. I'm going to try this.
