if the Vidalia lunch special isn't permanent it's at least running indefinitely.

Where to take visiting Britishers gay friend for best bits of DC scene on a weekend? bar-wise rather than dancing?

I guess you winged it, or got the answer elsewhere.
Is this just taking cheaper food and marking it up in price, asks cheapskate me?
from GOGs washpost blog:
Three years after he sold his popular Breadline downtown, Washington baker Mark Furstenberg is getting back into the retail business, this time with a 70-seat restaurant devoted to his current passion: street food from around the world
― curmudgeon, Monday, 27 April 2009 18:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Yep, winged it especially as it was thundering and raining - went into the first bar we saw on 17th - no idea what it was called but it was ok, with huge white leather posing sofas.
― ljubljana, Monday, 27 April 2009 23:16 (fifteen years ago) link
(xpost) it's taking cheaper food and using better ingredients and paying downtown rent so the prices are higher.

i can recommend he check out minibar (though it wouldn't be good for the optics). pretty amazing.
― W i l l, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 14:18 (fourteen years ago) link
somehow i'm going to that $$$ cocktail party at proof tonight. dropping more dough on food/drinks in one week's time than i usually do in like four months.
excited, though. 10 cocktails on a monday night. yeah.
― W i l l, Monday, 11 May 2009 13:59 (fourteen years ago) link
see you there
― ^ THIS IS WHY (I DIED), Monday, 11 May 2009 15:44 (fourteen years ago) link
lol my username may be very accurate in this case - I lost my phone after the dinner last year, although it certainly didn't help that I went out for drinks afterward, too.

hey guys, i am playing at comet ping pong next month, is it cool?
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Monday, 11 May 2009 15:55 (fourteen years ago) link
It is! It's in a kind of residential part of town but it's a neat pizza place with a backroom they've been using to do really great shows & DJs in the past few months.
― ^ THIS IS WHY (I DIED), Monday, 11 May 2009 16:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I've really enjoyed myself the few times I've been. Nice, intimate little venue.
― lou, Monday, 11 May 2009 16:04 (fourteen years ago) link
sweet. i am definitely going to eat the #4 when we're there.
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Monday, 11 May 2009 16:04 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost - cool, i'll keep an eye out for you.
make sure to get the chicken wings at comet. they are...good. very good.
― W i l l, Monday, 11 May 2009 17:06 (fourteen years ago) link
ooh.
cool, i'll post when i find out the date but it'll be sometime between june 17 - 22.
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Monday, 11 May 2009 17:10 (fourteen years ago) link
They got back to you, cool. That's great. I've been e-mailing your buddy. Working on a Baltimore show
― curmudgeon, Monday, 11 May 2009 17:18 (fourteen years ago) link
thx for the help, steve!
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Monday, 11 May 2009 17:21 (fourteen years ago) link
i take it back, we're doing thurs. june 18th at chick hall's surf club
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Thursday, 14 May 2009 20:41 (fourteen years ago) link
huh.
― W i l l, Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
is that a bad huh?
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:09 (fourteen years ago) link
nah, just surprised. place has a lot of history, but mostly as a country/zydeco venue. curmudgeon would know more, i'm sure. i didn't know they did rock shows now.
― W i l l, Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't even know if your band is rock
not rock
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link
it's new orleans brass band music, so that place might be a cool fit
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:27 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah that makes sense
― W i l l, Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
I told them about both Comet and Chick Hall's and both were contacted and alas, only Chick Hall's was interested.
Does anybody have any suggestions on where they could play a quick free set during the day at a streetcorner or something? Like in front of a Smithsonian museum? This is the other idea I am trying to encourage them to try. There used to be (or still?) a House of Prayer gospel brass band that played near Dupont Circle I think. And I think there's still a paint bucket go-go drummer or 2 near Natural History.
Also, any Baltimore ideas? I think 8 by 10 is booked, and An Die Musik has not responded.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 15 May 2009 18:49 (fourteen years ago) link
These would be in addition to the Surf Club
