Do they still have a jukebox that plays songs in Arabic? They did in the late 1960s, when Mama's was unique and the rage. I recall that you could park those huge cars that we had back then anywhere on Calvert Street with no problem.

How very nice of you to write that. Thank you. To the best of my knowledge, since I have no dead relatives that would qualify for the "Piper" name, I am assuming that the kids either had a wonderful champagne dinner in Lisbon nine months ago, or paused "The Hustler" in their condo at the appropriate moment.

We will be drinking very good whiskey in New York tomorrow to celebrate the arrival of my first grandchild, Piper. She is healthy, very vocal and, thankfully, doesn't look like me. This has been a wonderful journey.

A short cab ride away is My link, which is Latin American and Indian. We have been there twice, and would recommend it.

Crabcakes tonight with corn and sliced tomato from the farmers' market. Magruder's, through tomorrow, is selling a pound of North Carolina jumbo lump for $16.00. My beloved, who learned her way around crabmeat with family on the Eastern Shore, is already eyeballing the cast-iron skillet. If I knew how to use this new system to post a photo, I'd share the image. Alas.

Balducci's is again selling their New York strip steaks for #9.99 a pound through Sunday. They are sensational pieces of meat.

May his memory be a blessing.

You might telephone La Taberna del Alabardero and see what they might be able to cobble together for the group.

The Washington Post had an interesting recipe for a spicy Korean steak sauce about a month ago. It sounds interesting.

I thought that her attire was inappropriate, and a bit more than tawdry. I would have refused service.

They were wonderful, and an extraordinary bargain for the quality. Four minutes on each side over hardwood charcoal produced a lovely char and a lukewarm interior:

To add to your well-deserved reviews, we sat at the bar last weekend, and enjoyed six small plates and a few martinis. Your food is wonderful, and the sauces are especially exquisite. Your business partner stopped by at least three times to ask if all was well-- it is this type of gracious attention that separates the chains from the true independents, and we were delighted with the entire experience of dining with you. We'll be back, and will bring our friends and family. Thank you.

You're welcome. Forgive me if my geezer alert is making too much noise.

Oxford Tavern, if I recall correctly.

Is there a bar where you can sit and order small plates?

We were driving through downtown Rockville this morning and noticed that there was a "Grand Opening" for an Italian restaurant, on North Washington Street. It is not in the Town Center, and is located next to Chopstix where, previously, there was a rather tired kabob joint. What was surprising, when I found their website, was who was listed as the chef. Sounds like it's worth a visit.

Thanks for the information. For the four-year-old, and likely the eleven-year-old, too, it would appear as though their patience would end far sooner than the meal. While the rest of us would enjoy it, expecting the same of the kids seems to be the triumph of hope over experience. If there are any other suggestions, I would very much appreciate them.

My sister-in-law, in Frederick, is having one of those 'zero' birthdays, and we're looking for a downtown place that would be good for four adults and three children, ages four, eleven and sixteen. We would welcome any suggestions.

To John V. Conte, M.D. of Johns Hopkins. Many, many thanks.

Balducci's in Spring Valley or Dean & Deluca on M Street should carry it.

Oldest Restaurants in the Washington, DC Area
bioesq replied to DonRocks's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
It was originally the Toddle House, and the name changed sometime in the early 1980s. When my folks ate there in the 1940s, there was an "honor box" at the door, and you put your check and the amount you owed into it when you left.Parenthetically, people were still raising chickens in Tenleytown when that restaurant was built. -
For what it's worth, ZagatBuzz reports that it should open next week.

There was one in Adams Morgan, around 18th and S, south of Swann, and another that I remember on Georgia Avenue near Lamont. The radio announcer at the end of the jingle sounds a lot like Ed Walker to me.
