perrik Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Sounds like a scenic trip. So when shall we go explore the menu? I'm fully booked most of next week, but am free this weekend. The +1 and I are hitting TemptAsian on Friday afternoon for an early dinner, but hey, I'd eat Chinese food every single day given the choice...

Meaghan Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) Oh, so you bought the mop at CVS today? Yes, but the mop isn't made out of bamboo like I wanted and field mice were injured in its manufacturing. Gotta take it back; no mopping after all. Gotta new cell phone battery, though. Woo Hoo.

shogun Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 In Ancient times, there was a fire alarm in Master Ittei's apartment building. Of this he said 'This is stupid. What the hell?' Lord Naoshige commented "Let's go to a bar or something, and not stand around here outside in the cold like chumps." It is so that they went to Oyamel for Margaritas with salt air. The Way of the Samurai is one of not doing things like chumps.

DanielK Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'm kinda thinking we should postpone Shanghai Cafe. Even if we only get 4-5" of snow Saturday, and not 10-12", there are a lot of narrow windy roads between the Beltway and west Potomac that will probably not be plowed by noon on Sunday.

dcfoodie Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Birreria sounds good. I'm not sure I can get there before 6:30 though. I've been meaning to try one of Paradiso's pizzas with the whole wheat crust and soy cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principia Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) I'll probably get there at about 5:15.  What's their HH specials? According to their website (http://www.eatyourpizza.com): $4.25 pizzas - One half of selected eight-inch pizzas Antipasto plates - Your choice of three of our altre cose, small plate $6.95 and large plate $12.95 $3 selected draft beers - Fordham Helles Lager, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Jever Pilsener $3 selected bottled beers - Corona, Moretti Lager, Moretti La Rossa, Amstel Light, Miller Lite Chimay on tap ----- I would imagine this may be slightly different in the Birreria - additional drinks specials or somethin'.

Yeah, I have no idea what the specials are, aside from clues in Principia's post. I'll probably barely make it for 6:30 anyway. It's kind of a walk from here (though there is that Dupont bus...)

jm chen Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 There's that cushy Circulator bus now, if you're anywhere near K Street. It picks up at many of the Metrobus stops along the way. Any of the 30 buses would also take you there from the Farragut Square area, I Street. (Or just plug in the address at wmata.com on the Ride Guide and it'll make suggestions. Cabs always seem expensive to me when there's a bus line so close by.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that may need a nice discussion between parties of the first part and parties of the second part to ensure that the downstairs populace is equally graced with deal worthy of our presence. $3 Corona, Amstel, Moretti and Miller is about as exciting as that thing guys are supposed to start having when they turn 40.
