    Oooo, that would be good! December has gotten crazy busy already, but January could work for me.

    Sounds like a great idea!
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Saturday 14
    Sunday 15
    Saturday 21

    Lest y'all think I've dropped off the face of the earth... I may not be cycling during the cold months, but I can always eat

    The only thing on my calendar (so far) for that weekend is "Run 5.5 miles". So..I guess my training program is starting. But...other than that, I'm good.

    I could do either 1/21 or 1/22. Do we have any idea where?

    If I'm the only non-Maryland person, I'd be happy to meet y'all up there somewhere.

    Will there be anyone else from Virginia? Kmehrzad? Anyone?

    So does anyone have a favorite restaurant to suggest? Any dietary restrictions we need to keep in mind?

    I'm not big on bar food, but will otherwise eat pretty much anything (I know, that doesn't help to narrow down the options ). Do we want to try to maneuver around DC, or someplace just outside of it in MD or VA?

    Just got back in town and checked this thread again for the latest news. 21st or 22nd works for me. I'd be coming from VA ... how about Korean BBQ? Cataboo and I ate at a great place in Rockville ... Lighthouse Tofu and BBQ. This is just a suggestion I'm throwing in the mix.

    Are we talking perhaps a Sunday brunch?
    If it's in the District, I'd vote for Metro accessible, but perhaps on a Sunday, driving and/or parking won't be too heinous.
    I have no dietary restrictions or preferences (well, I'd prefer to avoid a liver an brussel sprout special, if I can! ). DivingBiker is vegan - if she's still checking the forum (but I can call or email an invite to her and get her input).
    Someplace off the Beltway or 270 (Rockville, Tyson's Corner) might be convenient.
    Yelp has good sort to find some places.
    Either way - we'd need a head count and a reservation for a group soon.

    E.T.A. Saturday a.m. is out for me. Just made plans for a 9 a.m. thing in B'more. Sunday, if that's the consensus, should be early (my request) - or at least get me home by 3 p.m. for the Game. And if you have to ask "What game?" - I'll wear my Patriots sweatshirt to the event, just so ya know....
