[SkateDC] Alexandria Saturday Lunch Recommendations

Fri Mar 20 12:54:39 PDT 2009

There is Chadwicks, almost right next the bike shop on The Strand, near
the water, next to the Dandy dock, easily accessible via bike path.

2 cents

And of course Generous Georges, but difficult to get to since they
destroyed the bike path next to the power plant.

2 cents.

The National Marathon is taking place this Saturday.  A map of the  
route is at:

http://www.nationalmarathon.com/Map_2009.asp

There may some interesting skating opportunities.  The 9th Street  
Tunnel is on the route.   That's not a place you get to skate very  
often!  If you have an interest in cheering on runners, the section in  
Anacostia Park could use some spectators, I'm sure.

I am running the full marathon and I believe that Jacques is running  
it too.  Come out and see us!

As you know Skate DC Weekend is fast approaching over the horizon and
the Saturday (5/2/09) Skate this year is going to Old Town Alexandria.?
While in Old Town we'll be eating lunch.? So, I'll bet you can see where
this is headed:? we are looking for any recommendations you care to
share about nice places to have lunch in Old Town on a Saturday.?
Remember, most of us will be skating to Alexandria and all of us will be
skating back, so the restaurant should be casual or at least tolerant of
people who look like they just finished skating.?? A place with great
food and relatively inexpensive prices would be ideal.? Bonus points for
being close to the intersection of King and Union Streets.

Some possibilities to get the ball rolling:

Pita House (Middle Eastern and Vegetarian)
407 Cameron Street
Alexandria, VA 22314

Red Mei (Asian)
602 King St
Alexandria, VA 22314

Hard Times (Chili)
1404 King St
Alexandria, VA 22314

La Piazza (Italian)
535 E Braddock Rd
Alexandria, VA 22314

Scoop Grill (Ice Cream)

110 King St.

Alexandria, VA 22314

Ideas?? Recommendations?? Suggestions?? Comments??? All are welcome.

Thanks,
George

Thanks for the response to the Alexandria Old Town request.? More
suggestions are welcome.

Now, we're looking for restaurant recommendations in DC for Skate DC
Weekend, especially places easily reached from the event hotel:

Homewood Suites Washington DC

1475
  Massachusetts Ave NW

Washington,
 DC 20005
Most likely people would be going to this restaurant on Saturday evening
(5/2/09).? I seriously doubt anyone will be on skates and people will
have had the opportunity of cleaning up to some degree, so unlike for
Alexandria, we needn't limit ourselves to casual dining places.? Great
food, reasonable prices, relatively easy to get to from Homewood Suites
(closest metro is McPherson Square).?? Any places unique to DC that may
be of interest to our out-of-town guests?

Examples to get the ball rolling:
Zaytinya (Greek/Mediterranean tapas)www.zaytinya.com
701 9th St NW
Washington, DC 20001

Etete Ethiopian Cuisine
www.eteterestaurant.com
1942 9th St NW
Washington, DC 20001

Cafe Du Parc (French)
www.cafeduparc.com
1401 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20004

Brasserie Beck (French Belgian)
www.beckdc.com
1101 K Street, NW
Washington DC, DC 20005

Jaleo (Spanish/Portuguese tapas)
www.jaleo.com
480 7th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20004

Oyamel Cocina Mexicana
www.oyamel.com
401 7th Street NW
Washington, DC 20004

Kaz Sushi Bistrokazsushibistro.com
			1915 I Street, NW 

			Washington, DC  20006
Ideas?? Comments?? Suggestions?? Recommendations?? All are welcome.

Cheers,George
