Gastro888 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hi all: I don't know this section of town very well, I'm afraid and was curious to know what good eats are nearby. I know Chinatown is about 4 blocks away (correct?) and I can find decent eats there but I'd like to know what late-night dining options are near the cinema. Forgive my ignorance but what section of town is this - is this near Penn Quarter? What are the reasonably priced good eats near the cinema? Thanks in advance for your help!

nyani Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) I work in the E Street building- I'd also add to the suggestions Ortanique, Ella's and Acadiana is less than a 10 minute walk. And a little closer to China Town are Ginger Cove, Poste, Zola, Cafe Atlantico- etc. (all still in the less than 10 minute range). Ella's is probably the most reasonable unless you're looking just to order apps. Edited October 7, 2005 by nyani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in DC Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I have never done this, but I understand that there is a late-night "happy hour" (with 1/2 price raw oysters) at Old Ebbitt Grill. A bit of a hike from E street, but not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a hike from E street, but not too bad. It is only 4 blocks west and 1 block north, not much of a hike considering what is available. Take the relaxing walk and enjoy!

Gastro888 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Go to Tosca and have half-orders of pasta at the bar! Oooh, pasta. YUM. Well, we'll probably be eating 'round 9:30-10ish. Carbs late at night are deadly. The 1/2 priced oysters sounds yummy, too. Wow, thanks y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Oooh, pasta. YUM.Well, we'll probably be eating 'round 9:30-10ish. Carbs late at night are deadly. The 1/2 priced oysters sounds yummy, too. Wow, thanks y'all! Keep in mind Ebbitt's oysters are half price only Monday through Thursday, 3-6 and 11 til 1 am. Also Monday being Columbus Day, I don't think they'll have them then. But Tosca gets my vote too. You know, checking out their menu, I never realized how expensive their normal menu is. When you do the pre-theater menu, it's $32 for three courses, and many of the entrees themselves are around 30 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
