mame11 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I rely on a service in New York called menupages. I love it because I can research a place before making reservations or when looking for a particular dish. Happily, DCist has alerted me that http://www.menupix.com/dc/ has launched. Enjoy! Happy Saturday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrescentFresh Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Very cool. I wonder how frequently they update. But what really sucks are those banner ads. I can barely look at my monitor on that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaghan Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I think it's very cool that they have a menu posted for a place like Baked & Wired (even though it's hard to see) and ridiculous that they have the menus for all those Starbucks posted. Thanks for posting this, NCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) I think it's very cool that they have a menu posted for a place like Baked & Wired (even though it's hard to see) and ridiculous that they have the menus for all those Starbucks posted. Thanks for posting this, NCP. It's even more ridiculous that they seem to have menus posted for every location of every fast food chain known to man. Puff up the restaurant count I suppose. And the ads are excruciatingly annoying. But the site nevertheless is clearly useful. Is it better than what Amazon has on their site? I don't know.

Free Wilma Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 It's nice that they provide links to the restaurants' websites as well. It has the potential to be very useful! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mame11 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Yeah, I agree about the ads. I actually posted the link before I investigated. However, I love www.menupages.com for New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliveDC Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Is anyone out there using a Mac? I got a press release about this and keep checking the link and every time I get this: 403 forbidden Server configuration does not allow access to this page. Please go back and try again.

DonRocks Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Has anyone noticed that when you click on a menu, it comes up with the "X" concealed behind the scroll bar so you can't X out of it quickly? That's dirty pool. On the other hand, I would have never known about the "Big Buford" at Checkers Drive-In. Don Buford is the first-base coach for the Nationals and used to be a fine leadoff hitter for the Orioles. Also there's Buford Pusser. These are the only two people I can think of named Buford.

JLK Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Looking at the section called "Univ. of DC" (aka Van Ness) is truly depressing. This is not a commentary on the site, but on the neighborhood's dining options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skysplitter Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Is anyone out there using a Mac? I'm on OS 10.3.9 using Safari, and it loads fine for me. I clicked on the link in the above post. But seriously, only Starbucks, Chef Geoff's and McD's in the AU vicinity? It's as pathetic as Van Ness/UDC! And thought in campus dining options were pathetic. At least Ace Beverage is down the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilrus Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I haven't had a chance to play around on it very much yet, but I just read in The Hill about menupix. I can't vouch for its comprehensiveness or accuaracy, but I've always found menupages.com in New York a helpful tool in trying to research restaurants. This looks to be pretty similar.

shogun Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Crystal City ($$) Cuisine: American, Sandwiches, Burgers, Steak Neighborhood: Pentagon/Crystal (Arlington) Website: www.crystalcityrestaurant.com/ Delivery: This Restaurant Does Not Deliver. With the most expensive item on the menu being $14.99, you wonder where they get the $$ designation. ....ooooh, right. Pitty they don't deliver. Hi Stud....my name is Ferrari. Did you order a HOT roast beef platter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackers Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 There's another menu listing website now. Menu Pages, has finally come to DC and lists almost 1,900 menus in the area (don't look completeness or accuracy though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaghan Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Menupix saved the day last weekend when we ordered Mihn's takeout. I thought I had a menu in my stash, but didn't and with their site still "under construction" it was nice to come across this---->*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
