Hi, all, DC has become quite a fine restaurant city, since the last time IETF came by. There's a nice selection of twenty-five DC restaurants, suitable for the nights without sessions, or late meals, included in a dining guide published October 17 by the Washington Post's lead critic: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/entertainment/new_features/restaurants/diningguide04/ A day in advance reservations are a good idea for these, and probably a good idea for restaurants in DC in general. Another couple of restaurants that didn't make this particular cut, but that appear in other lists (and mine), as well as being easy are: Palena - near Cleveland Park Metro, on Connecticut http://www.washingtondc.com/restaurants/1099_Palena.html Lebanese Taverna - near Woodley Park Metro, on Connecticut http://www.lebanesetaverna.com/restaurants/dc Finally, some excellent Dupont Circle places (other than the chain-type choices such Firehook Bakery and Cosi, which are fine): Kramerbooks and Afterwords (all-night bookstore/cafe) Across Connecticut from Dupont Circle Metro North exit Restaurant Nora http://www.noras.com/restnora/index.shtm Dinner only Sette http://www.setteosteria.com/contactus.html (open 11:30-2 AM during the week) Teaism (bento-box cafe) www.teaism.com 2009 R. St. NW (1/2 block in to the right from Connecticut as you walk towards the Metro). Allison _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
