bookluvingbabe Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I need dining ideas! I need a baby-friendly lunch option in DC on Friday. It will be two plus BLBaby. We are going to Central for dinner without the baby that night. Other dining plans for the weekend include either Palena or RTC. Friend is game for most anything except Indian or mussels. I want to stay in town as she is going to the Holoacust Museum after lunch. I would have just gone to Corduroy but Tom Power didn't check my schedule before planning his move. Thanks!

Heather Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Jaleo or Zaytinya. Or Matchbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lackadaisi Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Beck. Changing tables in both bathrooms (which are at a strange, but usable height). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Beck. Changing tables in both bathrooms (which are at a strange, but usable height).That's another good option, although since they are going to Central that night I thought they might like something other than a bistro.

brettashley01 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Friend is game for most anything except Indian or mussels.Another strike against Beck...Jaleo, Zaytinya, Kinkead's spring to mind. Tabard Inn? Would Old Ebbitt be too much of a clusterf**k? (Plus the restrooms are downstairs...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mame11 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Why not the cafe at the National Museum of the American Indian? I have been with tons of friends and their kids, infants to toddlers. Seriously, they have the best chicken fingers in the city for future reference. Or even the new cafe at the American Art Museum... it is completely kid friendly as the atrium was designed to be an inside park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lackadaisi Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Another one may be the bar at PS7. It is separated from the restaurant and is rather dead during the day. Great lunch deals too. Or Oyamel, or Mitsisam at the Indian Museum. There's always Teaism. I'll keep thinking . . . And, I would love to hear any other ideas people have, for dinner as well. The Four Points was so convenient; alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocoarisotto Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The American Art and American Indian museums are excellent ideas. Also, Ella's on 9th is great for babies and children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookluvingbabe Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks for the ideas-- I passed them on to my friend and she is leaning toward Jaleo. My personal choice as well as the menu includes items that BLBaby has already tried so he can have table food. Other baby friendly dining: Central--though the sinks make a terrible changing pad. The staff never blinks when we arrive. More when my brain is functioning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malawry Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I need advice for where to take my 2-year-old on Saturday the 17th. We can eat dinner early, but not before 5:30pm, and it MUST be a place we can make a reservation. My son has about a 1 hour tolerance for being in a restaurant and I'm unwilling to squander it waiting for a table. I've done the Jose Andres restaurants too many times to count, and I've been to Central twice, so I'm looking for another option. Extra bonus points for places near Dupont Circle, places with parking, or places on OpenTable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Firefly? My kids like the tree, and they take reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookluvingbabe Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 The staff at Corduroy is great about small people. Haven't been to the new location yet. Dino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza man Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 2Amys would probably slip the kid some cookies or bread, if you are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
