Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'm going on a date on Sunday, we're going to do some stuff in D.C. and I need some suggestions on good places to eat in the area. I would like something that's got a nice atmosphere, but not too stuffy. Any suggestions? Also, just to give you an idea of what area we'll be in. We'll probably go to the Spy Museum, and from there hit up the DC Improv. So that's where we'll be. Would like to stay in the general vicinity.

CHUBAKAH Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yup, you look like a loser. J/K Bro I hope you have a wonderful time, I'm just clueless as to where you should go. I will say that you should make sure they have Tequila though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yup, you look like a loser. I mean, hey, I don't know D.C. that well. I figure someone here has got to have some good insight for me. At least I'm not asking what I should do on the date. Just suggestions on food. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixote Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Why would that make you look like a loser? I've lived in Richmond for almost 5 years and I still ask my buddies for good date spots. The losers are the ones that sit on here at 10:30 at night and profess their love for Flushable Moist Wipes.... who ever that loser is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 If I remember correctly there's a Melting Pot in that general area. Fondue can be kind of fun. The chocolate liquer stuff can be really nice. How fast or slow a meal do you want? Is this a leisurely sit down and eat or get in enjoy a nice meal and make sure you get out in time for the show? Are you going to the early 8 or later show at the Improv? (You can also order entrees at the Improv they're around the TGIF quality of food.

We'll probably have a 2 hour window. I mean, I would be cool with just grabbing some drinks and something small even, and then getting real food while we're at the improv.

Its pre-cooked and then microwaved when you order it. Terrible. I would go to RFD - its near the Verizon Center and has great food, and great beer.

stwasm Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 You MUST hit Tony Cheng's Mongolian BBQ! That place is one of the best restaurants in town and is located on nearby H Street. It's a buffet where you pick the ingredients and the chef cooks it in front of you. If that's not your thing, there's a seafood restaurant upstairs. You'll love it!

It is located next to Subway in front of ChinaTown's elaborate entrance. Prices are decent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorresA Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Stripclub... but make it a classy one. Obviously I am not from DC, but I find most of the times local people don't take time to check out the sites of thier own city. So one suggestion is to play tourist. Walk around the monuments and what not, this also give plenty of time to talk and all. Or take her out to FedEx field... always a great spot.
