i know that we all think of ourselves as an affable and approachable lot, however, i have heard from more than a few people that one’s first post can be a little intimidating to write. i think that it would come easier after an introduction.

since i have a few friends who have recently joined the board, i have been thinking about this a bit recently. therefore, i am nominating this thread as the place to say hello. all of you lurkers, members without a post, etc, feel free to drop a line or two here. say hello. i swear it gets easier after your first one.

still not sure? ok, i'll start...

good day to everyone. i am new to the board. i am danny, i manage a little italian restaurant in foggy bottom. i found this board after a friend mentioned it to me, and am very happy to be here. i hope to be an active part of this community.

thanks, don and everyone else for letting me play in your sandbox.

Hi, all!

I'm Sean, and I've been in DC for almost two years. I'm always looking for new places to dine and embibe, especially as I am now fully transitioned from the college/early 20's drinking scene. I'm particularly interested in exploring new places in emerging neighborhoods in and around DC, as well as 'emerged' neighborhoods in which I have not spent much time. I have visitors from back home and elsewhere on a regular basis, and I love giving them a unique experience when they visit.

I hope to gain some insight into these things through this board.

As my handle states, I reside in SW, but I am particularly fond of the U Street area (being from KC, I love the jazz connection), and I very much enjoy a relaxed, laid-back experience when I go out. No noisy crowds of drunkards, please!

Any recommendations that might fit that (admittedly broad) description would be great.

Thanks!

Sean
