Hello,

Any recommendations for a rehearsal dinner location in/near Penn Quarter and/or Chinatown for ~40 people? Our first choice was Brasserie Beck, but the private room isn't big enough. Our reception will be at the Hotel Monaco, so Poste is out as well.

Any leads/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

PS7's is a great choice. We have our Main Dining Room which is perfect for a group of 40. Please feel free to contact me at hyonkim@ps7restaurant.com.

What else is good around here for lunch, happy hour, inexpensive dining?

PS7's has a daily 3-course lunch prix-fixe for $20 and on Monday and Tuesday nights, a 3-course dinner prix-fixe for $40 with ALL bottled wine 50% off. Not a bad deal and as you mentioned the HH specials can't be beat with a stick!! Kanylaya Thai is good for pad thai!!

May I suggest PS7's? The space is fabulous and images can be seen at www.imagesbycarrie.smugmug.com

Hello,

Well, I've done it again. I've waited until the absolute last minute to begin my party planning duties. I am in charge of throwing a baby shower for my sister the second weekend of December. Which means I need to get the invitations out ASAP.

I can always throw it at home, but was hoping to get some ideas for a restaurant (or another venue, doesn't have to be a restaurant) to host it at.

I have inquires in to Buzz Bakery, La Strada, and Talulla/EatBar.

I need a space that can hold 20-25 - I'm thinking of doing an early afternoon event, so it doesn't need to be a seated meal - can be snack and drinks and some sweets. If I could bring my own cake, that would be great.

It can be in DC, but Alexandria or Arlington would be especially convenient.

I do need it to be affordable - since this is the first of 3 (yes, three) I will be hosting this season. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

I appreciate any thoughts!

Thanks,

Noel
