CrescentFresh Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Anyone up for a pre-holiday HH? I am thinking Corduroy or Eve, depending on where I am around that time. I was going to suggest an Anti-Holiday Happy Hour tomorrow night. Why not both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsdc Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 On a spur of the moment impulse, boss is taking us to Black Rooster for a holiday drink--hey, at least it's close! AND it's getting us out early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ustreetguy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Taking my sister out to dinner for her birthday (which she so kindly reminded me of earlier this week since I had forgotten - bad brother! bad bad brother!)

DonRocks Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Taking my sister out to dinner for her birthday (which she so kindly reminded me of earlier this week since I had forgotten - bad brother! bad bad brother!) She wants to go for sushi at a place in Mclean called Tachibana. Anyone know anything about it? Yep. Whatcha wanna know? Nab a seat at the tiny sushi bar in back if you can. This place also offers shabu-shabu which is uncommon for the area. Good but not earth-shattering quality. Pleasant atmosphere. They have a "sashimi lunch special" which is worth ordering carryout if you're in the area - they load you down with fish and it's only about $12 (get the osuimono soup rather than the miso for a change of pace with your lunch special (both are powdered)).

MelGold Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Firefly or Corduroy are the obvious first two choices unless someone wants to throw out someplace different. If I may suggest a New Year's Resolution for 2006, perhaps we could all agree to whim it at a new location for HH at least once a month or every other. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a regular haunt as much as the next Rockweiller (are we really calling ourselves dogs????), but there are tons of restaurants/bars to be explored in and around this city. Just a thought. Happy Holidays to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I would like to make a suggestion for someplace different this afternoon. The upstairs lounge at District Chophouse. A variety of beers, a nice selection of booze (so Heather can get her gin fix!), and decent bar snacks, all in a comfy lounge atmosphere with pool tables. They usually have a couple of beer styles on special from 3-7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfoodie Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Thinking ahead a little here, but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway. Is anyone thinking they're going to Galileo next week for their half-price dinner special?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke can be hit or miss. I'm not a huge fan of overly smoky places, but I've had no problems at Chophouse. Parking, I'm unsure about as I take the subway there usually. I know they have valet parking. I'll probably be there not later than 5. Earlier if I can swing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrescentFresh Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Chophouse valet parking starts at 5:00pm. They are at 509 7th Street, between E and F on the "ventworm nut" side of the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Mr. P, ol_ironstomach, and I are dining at Ray's the Steaks tonight. Our fourth member had to drop out, and no one else we know is free to take the spot. Hate to see that chair empty. Any Rockwellians care to join us? We're pretty laid back and friendly, but we do tend to go on about cars and driving and racing. But we can converse on other topics, too. ol_ironstomach is pretty cosmopolitan, actually.

crackers Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) With Han Sung and Joung Kak under our belts, a half dozen of us in eastern Rockwellopolis are headed Friday evening at 8:15pm, to check out a Korean place in Glen Burnie that has no name. Well, it has a sign with Korean letters, but no translation or transliteration. Loosely translated, I'm told its name is "Shaking Duck Butt" and there's a neon sign that has...yes...a shaking duck butt. Cute! I hope some of you will join us. PM if you need info. It's close to BWI airport at 7523 Ritchie Highway. Just south of where 648 (Baltimore Annapolis Blvd.) crosses Ritchie Highway, on the east side of the street. Cafe Amore is in the strip mall across the street. Edited January 5, 2006 by crackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
