TheMatt Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 For Google Maps, at least, it looks like another good address for Hong Kong Palace is: 6387 Seven Corners Center, Falls Church, VA In fact, if you go to Street View, and spin around, I think it's right next to "Cleaners". ETA: This address also resolves on iPhones correctly. Just tested it. Not sure about GPS units, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericandblueboy Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 No +1 for me. She's working the closing shift at her bank and won't get out until after 7. More food for the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenB Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 We're now up to 15 for tonight, assuming everybody shows up. That includes my +1, the lovely Elliott. For those who haven't been to HKP before, if you're coming from DC, the easiest thing is to go out Rte 50 to Patrick Henry, turn left to the first light, then right and right again into the little mall, which is across the highway from Sears. Daniel suggests we double up on some of the items I've selected, which is exactly what we shall do. Otherwise, the menus are printed and ready for distribution. Is anybody hungry?

grover Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Dear Honey Pig dinner participants, I made a reservation March 10th 7:00 PM (Ask DR.com). The receptionist told me that they prefer everybody get in at the same time. I know it is a bit difficult but through my $20 Tuesday experience, Escoffier, me, StephenB, Thematt and DanielK are pretty prompt and I have no idea about others. If you can't come, please let me know so I can change the reservation. It is pretty busy hour on 7:00 PM at Honey Pig so please try to be prompt. I will PM you my cell number so call me if you are getting late. Don't forget bringing cash around $25 and wearing washable clothings (BBQ smell). Thank you very much, Grover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every member goes to every dinner... Of the two dates you had originally thrown out there, one was 2 days later (and nobody immediately chimed in to be interested), and the other was on the same date as an existing event. While there's no written rule against it, as a generality we try to avoid having two events the same week, much less the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel, this is your show, but from my perspective, I'd love it if there was a restaurant featured every single night, even if it was just a four-top.

Probably not practical given how much time goes into organizing these events, but I can always dream, n'est-ce pas? That sounds more like "On a Whim" than a "$20 Tuesday", as long as we're defining labels. As you say, big difference between "who wants to meet me at xxx tomorrow", vs. making a list, calling the restaurant, and possibly, depending on the size of the group and the place, planning a menu. And I am certainly not the gatekeeper for the $20 Tuesdays. Anybody, anytime, who is willing to be the coordinator, can throw out a destination and a date, and that's all the planning necessary. I'm happy to keep the running post in this topic that lists all of the upcoming events, which is really very little effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flavortown Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I head back home to NJ for the summer on May 7th, but I think it'd be great to meet some of the people on the boards over dinner at some point before then. I suppose that's not very much advanced notice, and I'm probably not up to the task of organizing a $20 dinner though. Perhaps burgers at Ray's are in order? I already intend to get over there and try one before I'm gone for three months, and company certainly wouldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
