We're in Alexandria at the moment but the new house is basically across the street from the Howard University athletic complex. that’s awesome! Congrats on the house, you will live living there! Sure you know the area well, but if you ever need restaurant recommendations etc just let me know. Just a heads up, both Maydan and Dabney on RESY. Dabney takes reservations 2 weeks out, Maydan 4 I believe. For both, if you trying to get a Friday or Saturday 6:30-9 , need Resy open on desktop and logged in with computer clock open and at exactly noon two weeks out hit the resy site. Sometimes even doing that we only get 9 or 9:30. but so worth it!

Our realtor and loan agent wanted to take us to Maydan to celebrate the purchase...it's a recently awarded Michelin star restaurant that's a short walk from the house and it is absolutely incredible. almost went there last time I was in DC a few months ago. Ended up eating at a taco joint close to there in Columbia heights called Taquerio Habanero. Pretty solid. 1

Only been in the area for a couple years now, but I'm sure we'll be trying a lot of new restaurants once we move into DC. I'll definitely make note of the need to make a reservation at Dabney though!

Maybe we can connect on a Sunday whenever the Bills are back in our lives again haha If you’re looking to make friends in the area, @plenzmd1 will introduce you to his peeps at the OTB! Word of advice, do NOT bet on a horse just because his name is Shady! 2

Trust me, they aren't starving; only their bartenders are. ? Now that you mention it, a Psychopathy sounds great! @Gugny A close friend of mine works in sales for Rhinegeist but here in Cbus. The taproom in Cincy being closed obviously hurts them a lot but trust me there’s plenty more than the bartenders hurting. They do a ton of business from their taps in bars.

Muss and Turner’s in Atlanta has a muffuletta sandwich that I’ve been craving. Best sandwich I’ve had in this town. They have a limited take out menu, but the muffuletta isn’t on it. ? I also have the rest of the top 10 mapped out, but I won’t bore you with it. I’ve spent some time on this topic since going out to lunch is (make that WAS) part of my daily routine. EDIT: I also plan to leave a stupidly large tip, like several hundred percent. . Damn, that sounds good! My tapeworm just sported a woody! 3

I know a lot of places are doing takeout, which is good and all, but it's not the same as sitting down with family and friends at your favorite place. For me it's Alex's in batavia, across from the racetrack. They have awesome ribs and steaks and chicken wings cooked on a grill right out in the open. My kids and I love the food and the cozy atmosphere. What is your place you're looking forward to going back too? Wow, this is a really good question and I'm not sure. Maybe a trip here http://www.michaelsymon.com/mabels-bbq 1

Not sure why, but's its pretty damn good!
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 I think our first trip will be here https://www.localcantina.com/about-us/ Kind of our go to spot. Great food, fantastic drinks, kid friendly and reasonably priced. What’s not to like!? 1

Unless there’s sports on, then probably some place for wings - like Bar Bill. Want to amend this. It’ll likely be takeout but sushi from Fuji Grill will probably be first. Not technically dining out, but I can’t get it now. On 4/10/2020 at 5:18 PM, Cripple Creek said: Wow, this is a really good question and I'm not sure.

Chandler#81 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 A privately owned restaurant with a Friday fish fry. I got a real hankerin’! Plus, screw the chains. They were on the way out before this started. 1

There's a bar with a deck overlooking the river next door to me. Been going there since I was 16...err, I mean 18. 63 now so that's 45 years. Saw the owner a couple weeks ago when I was out walking, he gave me the combination to the gate lock. Couple times a week I've been taking a bottle of wine out there and calling friends, talking for an hour or two about nonsense, watching the sun set. Gives me some sense of normalcy. 2 1
LewPort71 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Definitely a 'mom & pop' place and not a chain. And a place that has wings, since there is an over supply. They should be cheap. We got a carry out from a chain steakhouse place and it was not very good. Plus it was expensive. But the icing on the cake was they forgot my grandson's kids cheeseburger. He was crushed as he pulled the other meals from the bag. He set the table and recognized his meal was not included. At least they did not charge us for the missed meal. A quick trip to the nearby Wendy's was the solution. Edited April 12, 2020 by LewPort71 1
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 I have no idea but ANYWHERE is a good start. I’ve certainly done the takeout thing, but bringing food home in a styrofoam (wasteful) container automatically drops it’s quality a notch. I’ve been disappointed in foods I normally enjoy when being served at the restaurant.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 ...Applebee's....window seat...OBD hot spot........... 1
Saxum Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Burke Fortune House naturally in Burke (VA). It sounds like a Chinese restaurant but it is Japanese. I think when the owners bought it that was the name. My daughter always gets eel and eel skin rolls, my wife will get noodles (not a sushi fan) and I just try different items but always get a sweet mango roll for desert.
