  1. What area? We usually go to Allegro in New Hampshire & Randolph (MD), but more because it is convenient.
  2. Bobby Van's RW report It was very good and all 4 of us were happy with our entry into RW (and are ready to book again, later this week or next year ) The menu was: Appetizer: one choice, Field greens with shallot vinaigrette. This was a small salad, but had a large roma tomato cut in half, blue cheese crumbles, and the vinaigrette was very good. Entrees: choice of Penne pasta with smoked prosciutto, asparagus and Parmesan; chicken breat with mushroom sauce; pan-seared salmon with lemon butter; red wine braised short ribs of beef and filet mignon. All served with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The other 3 in my party all got the filet mignon. They were small (as expected) but good value for the price. One had a little gristle (just a bit, though), and they were all cooked as asked. I didn't want to get something I can get anywhere, so I ordered the short ribs. They were a little greasy, but the sauce was delicious and worthy of bread dipping. Dessert: the menu said chocolate cake, but that does not do justice to the creamy, dark, fudgy piece of heaven that we got. I was having foodgasms over it. There was nothing cakey about it. The other 3 are not chocaholics, and they prefer semi-sweets than dark, but they all agreed it was very good, just 'too chocolaty,' a phrase that does not exist in my vocabulary. The bill for 4, including 2 iced teas and 2 sodas, and a side of onion rings, was $155 with tax. Service was excellent, and we did not feel rushed or being left out because we were eating 'on the cheap.' Driving home in the pouring rain, however, was not so nice.
  3. We're going to Bobby Van's for dinner tomorrow on the RW... any hints on what I'll find (I've never done this before!) Will there be a set menu, a set menu with some choices? TIA
  4. The Zoo bar? I forget the official name, little place across Conn. ave from the Zoo.

    Cosi

    The smores thing is also good (if shared, once I did try to eat it all myself) and, nobody has mentioned yet that it is not Starbucks.
  6. Last time I went to a conference at the Hilton, I had lunch at Thaiphoon and it was okay.
