Waitman Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm thinking maybe to the Hitchin' Post Monday night. But I wonder if anybody else can think of something a cut or two above the Styrofoam clamshell ethnic places that won't be overrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillvalley Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Moroni Brothers Meets all the criteria and you don't have to choose between 2 Amy's and any Latino restaurant in your neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent thought. I actually prefer their pizza to 2 Amy's, and the vibe is way cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericandblueboy Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So when do the crowds descend upon DC and when will they leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good way to answer this is to check a few major hotels' room prices for the two-week period beginning now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For inauguration, most hotels have a 4 or 5 night minimum stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktmoomau Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So... you can only bring a clear plastic bag of snacks to the women's march. We will eat a good breakfast, but I assume then we will want to eat afterwards, I understand we will probably just be going for somewhere not mobbed by crowds, but ideas on a good place for snack/drink, that might be overlooked? We would head back to Virginia, but it might take us a while, so I expect we will be hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino's in shaw has some promotions going on that support the cause: http://dinoinshaw.com/event/inauguration-day-womens-march/ I visit rarely but always watch his offers because he does good marketing on twitter with lots of details on the promotions and usually they are bundled so they look like a good offering. Also not food but Wooly Mammoth Theater 641 D St NW is open for bathrooms and heat and they are within walking distance of the mall. Also Kabob Palace is always a good option once you have metroed back to pickup the cars in crystal city. My wife and I always get the weekend beef curry to go and eat it over a few days. http://kabobpalaceusa.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Some community organizations will be open to support people this weekend. Woolly Mammoth (as noted above and per Facebook): For those who are planning to attend the Women's March on Washington on January 21: Woolly Mammoth is going to open its doors that day from 8:30 am until 4 pm to serve as a meeting place, organizing space, and rest stop for the general public. Our theater is only a 15-minute walk or so from the March, so we hope to be a convenient gathering spot for the community. We'll have cheap hot drinks and snacks for those who need them and a welcoming, wide open lobby to share with whoever needs it. National Museum of Women in the Arts: Free community weekend on Saturday and Sunday. They will be closed on Friday due to being inside the security perimeter. Church of the Reformation (E. Capitol Street on Capitol Hill): Inauguration Day Prayer Service and Women's March Breakfast and Prayer Service Transformer Art Gallery (14th and P NW) Saturday, January 21, 9am-11:30am Stop by Transformer on the morning of the Women's March on Washington for coffee, courtesy of Slipstream DC, and free artist-made multi-lingual posters made by Miami artists in collaboration with EXILE Books.Transformer will serve as a local resource for attendees, open all day as a safe space to get off the mall and stay warm. Please post others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracisk Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Here's an article from Washingtonian mentioning Woolly Mammoth and many others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks for those resources! It is likely going to be a long day of standing, especially for my Mom. I am glad places are doing this. Dino's Grotto is always a favorite. I haven't been there as much since they moved to Shaw as the location just isn't quite as easy for us, so that is a good idea. Mom might be exhausted, so we might just be figuring out the best way back to Ballston and then keep it local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracisk Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 And WMATA is opening early and running extra trains after all: https://www.wmata.com/about/news/Womens-March-Service.cfm I'm still staying home. :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
