Yeah, I saw you guys were running a race in another thread. Dorky me tried to figure out if I could do the race too, but then realized it was day we're arriving.

We'll be carless, so someplace easy to metro to and not too hard to find please.
We're staying in Georgetown and Thom's been talking about not even using the metro, but walking everywhere instead. When we leave DC we're heading to Maine to visit family and there are so many things that I love to eat that you can only get back east. And of course they are so bad for you.

I haven't figured out what I'm doing that far in advance, but will come if I can. if a Sunday morning, china garden in Rosslyn does a good dim sum, of course - DB's a vegan, so I'm not sure how that works out!
What kind of back east food are you interested in Veronica?
There is a citybikes program, so you & your husband might be able to use that to get around a bit - Georgetown doesn't have a metro station, so you'd be doing a lot of walking anyways.

Creme horns, whoopie pies, Italians, lobster rolls... stuff I'll get when we get to Maine. All of it evil! Originally Posted by Cataboo

Here's a suggestion for a place to eat: Two Amys Neopolitan Pizzeria. They have fantastic pizza. Closest Metro Station is Tenleytown-AU. It is an approximately 15 minute walk from the station to Macomb St. NW.

Don't know how this fits into the vegan diet, though.Last edited by kmehrzad; 11-19-2010 at 07:39 PM.

Tempted.... I have to be here the 1st 2 w/e of Dec, and will be in DC for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Do I really want to go there 2 w/e in a row? Hmmm.
I will probably bring my bike for Thanksgiving. Anyone want to do ride on Fri or Sat after TG in DC area? Away from the shoppers?
