My aunt lives in La Plata, MD but were planning on parking and riding in on thr metro so I guess really anywhere 

Wow. La Plata.

Actually, if that's where you're staying, DC might not even be your best bet.

First, you might want to consider going to National Harbor. It's very close to you, a lot of fun, a lot of great places to eat there, ride on the giant Ferris Wheel (not sure if you're going with kids, or a significant other). I'm not sure what place in particular I'd recommend there, as it's a lot of high end chains, so you can't go wrong. But if you want to make a day of it, take the ferry over to Old Town Alexandria. There I would recommend the Fish Market Restaurant on King Street. The Admiral Platter is one of the best meals you can get in town, and start with the crab-stuffed avocado.

If you do venture into DC, Navy Yard/Nationals Park will be a quick jaunt on the metro for you. There at Yards Park, I really like Due South. Decent BBQ, great atmosphere, amazing cocktails, and you've got to try the Mac n' Cheese.

And if you're in the neighborhood, you really should go check out 8th St SE. Barracks Row. Lots and lots of restaurants and bars there. I can't vouch for the food, because I only go bar-hopping there. But if you have time to stand in line at Rose's Luxury, all of my friends who have gone say it's incredible.

Outside of that, the only place I would really recommend is Dino's Grotto on 9th st. Shaw/Howard on the Green line, which should be a straight shot for you. If you go there and Andrew or Rick is bartending, tell them Scott and Anya sent you, and ask if the "Four Horsemen" is ready. It's the house cocktail aged 3 months in an oak barrel. All the food there is amazing, but I insist you try the deviled eggs. And if you go on Sunday, it's all-day Happy Hour. And if you see a bespectacled, tan Santa Clause in a Hawaiian shirt, that's Dean, and he owns the restaurant. If you ask, he'll tell you what he just added to the menu, what's freshest that day, or generally what you're best bet for an entree is.

Need any other recommendations, or want to pop by Cleveland Park for a drink, let me know.

Will check it out. Thanks! 

That's a reference to House of Cards. It's not a real place.

Bump!  I'll be in DC in 3 weeks.  I make my own BBQ so I need something else and my boss hates seafood.

Same question. Let me know what neighborhood you'll be in and I'll give you some tips.

Thanks man! We will keep those places in mind. National Harbor looks really cool so we will def check that out.  We were planning on seeing a Nats game too so those places around the navy yard sound great. Were going to be up there for a week and a half so there should be plenty of time to see a lot of stuff.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
