I have a reservation at Gibson, so no worries! Been to Bar Pilar before and loved it. Might be a good stop before Gibson if dinner is quick. The market was an excellent suggestion. Everything doesn't have to be fine dining, which is why I thought the Bistro might be good (and that I love country French fare). Agreed on Chantal being a wonderful treat. She hosted one of our Mixoloseum events a few weekends ago and it was delightful. Any other suggestions? The schedule is getting pretty packed, but I'll likely have time between Ace and Cafe Atlantico.

Here is my current plan. I'd love to include more gourmet food shops, perhaps another cocktail locale, and even a quick place to get a snack. I'm staying at the Topaz Hotel near Dupont Circle. I don't mind walking, metroing, or cabbing if the place is really good. Saturday: afternoonish - Ace Beverage to pick up order and chat with Joe 6pm - Cafe Atlantico 9pm - Gibson xpm - Julia's Empanadas Sunday 11:30am - Tabard Inn 4pmish - Bistrot du Coin 6pm - drive home Other places I've found that look fun: http://www.chocolatechocolatedc.com/ http://www.cowgirlcreamery.com/ http://www.bakedandwired.com/ Cheers! -Rick www.kaiserpenguin.com
