There's also Rosa Mexicano, right across the street from the Verizon Center (Gallery Place Metro).

I'm going to recommend my other two choices, which was Clyde's or Lauriol Plaza.

deedles

YUMMY!! they both sound good.. maybe we should narrow it down to 2 or 3 and then do that vote thing like last time

D

I was going to recommend Lauriol Plaza but I'm not sure that it's metro accessible. Is it? I've only been there once and we took a cab. If it is, great! I'm fine with Clyde's too.

deedles

looks like U Street is the closest metro but then you have to take a bus

D

eccentric_kurlz

Lauriol Plaza is walking distance from Dupont Circle (maybe 5 blocks or so). I made sure to pick places that wouldn't require having to get on a bus after getting off the train.

But maybe we should choose between Rosa Mexicano and Clyde's since they're literally right there at Galleryplace.

curlyhairnc

If Lauriol Plaza is only about 5 blocks away, let's keep it in. I should have known you wouldn't choose some place inaccessible; you've done this before! :oops: I guess it's time for us to make a final decision. Either place works for me.

deedles

The menu's for Rosa mexicano and Clyde's look Yummy and the other plus I see for Rosa's is we can reserve online!!!

deedles

LOL! It's all good.

Let's just focus on Rosa Mexicanos and Clyde's. I'm fine with either as they're both within a block of each other.

deedles

I made a snappoll like last time.. I hope that's okay EK.

http://snappoll.com/poll/313351.php

I hope I did it right

D


ETA: I spelled Gathering wrong... DUH! I type too fast sometimes! oopsie, but you get the general idea!

journotraveler

So far, Rosa Mexicano is winning by 100%

Probably because I'm the only one to vote so far! :blob4:

deedles

I think there is something wrong with the poll.. I know I voted yesterday.. but it still says one vote

Hmmmm

D

curlyhairnc

It's not letting me vote. Says I've already voted.

deedles

maybe ek can do a new one.. I should've not messed with success! she did the last one I should've left it to her... serves me right!

:P

Hakim Nuraldin

Dammmmmmmmmmmmm.......!!!!

I'm not going tobe here on the 7th.

I'm going to be out of town in the arms of my new man out of state.


Damn! Damn! Damn! a la Florida Evans.

eccentric_kurlz

LMAO! @Hakim. It's all good! We'll have another one...in the Spring.

At this point D, I'm just going to make an exec decision since many years ago, we'd just pick a place and that was it. It's too close to the actual date to rely on a poll as when I did the poll last time, it was 2 months in advance, and even then, everyone didn't participate who actually attended. LOL!

We're going to go with Rosa Mexicano. I think the menu is diverse enough to accommodate various palates.

I'll update the first posting with the information.

eccentric_kurlz

(reposting this here just in case folks don't read the very first post.

We're meeting at:

Rosa Mexicano in Penn Quarter(Red/Yellow/Green line to Gallery Place-Chinatown station)
575 7th Street at F Street NW
(right across the street from the Verizon Center)

2pm

Please RSVP again by PMing your name so that I can get an accurate account of who's attending. Thanks!!

Too bad, Hakim! But I'm glad I ran into you the other day. (Turns out, we both work close by.)

deedles

cool! how many we talking now EK?

D

eccentric_kurlz

We're at six officially, D.

deedles

did you call for reservations or did you need me to do so?

D

eccentric_kurlz

I'm going to have to change our location to Clyde's possibly. There are no tables available for our party size between 12 and 6 pm.

I'll update with new information shortly.

eccentric_kurlz

I made the reservation for 6 as those are the only confirmations I have at the moment. If anyone else can make it, I'll just call to make changes but I needed to atleast reserve those six spots.

Updated restaurant/meeting time details:

Clyde's of Gallery Place
707 7th Street NW
Washington, DC 20001
