Fun on a Monday night?

[make_your_move]

I'm meeting an LJ friend tonight for drinks in DC. Any suggestions for somewhere fun? Or somewhere to find a little innocent trouble?

I'd tell you to go down to Washington Harbor in Georgetown, and have a drink out at Tony & Joes (along the river). You can walk the two blocks up to M Street and check out the coolio shops up there (like Lush!)

;-)

is Dream Dresser still 'round?

[bittibuddha.livejournal.com]

no, alas... but Pleasure Place is there. On Wisconsin, just a few blocks from the Harbor.

Ooh - I love Lush, especially their massage oil bar thingies!

[bittibuddha.livejournal.com]

Meee Tooo! "Fever" is my favorite... Mmmm. I think I need to plan a raid up there again soon too.

I am horribly addicted to the "romance in the stone" bath bomb.... have to fish out the "surprise" early on! Oh and the Blue Skies bubble bar... SIGH!

You? Innocent trouble? Umm hmmmm.................

*blink, blink* are you trying to imply something? *blink, blink* grin

Would I ever imply anything??? Ever??
Sweet, kind, modest fella that I am???

the back bar at The Old Ebbitt Grill is always a nice option ... comfy, nice, and great place to people watch ...

[make-your-move.livejournal.com]

where is it?

[russell-moore.livejournal.com]

Old Ebbitt Grill is centrally located in Downtown DC just steps from The White House and museums in downtown Washington. We offer complementary valet parking after 6:00 Monday through Saturday, and all day starting at 8:30 a.m. on Sundays.

We accept reservations by calling 202.347.4800 or by OpenTable.com.

Old Ebbitt Grill
675 15th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20005
info@ebbitt.com


if you're doing Metro, McPherson Square or Metro Center stations are about equal 3 block walks from Old Ebbitt ... it is directly across from the Treasury Department on 15th Street ...

Gotta tell ya, though: the Old Ebbitt Grill can be quite crowded and noisy. I don't know whether the bar I've been to there is the "Back Bar" or whether there's another bar, but I thought even the bar was crowded.

My fave place -- stylish and with a great menu of mezze -- is Zaytinya, 701 Ninth St. NW, which is one block from the Gallery Place Metro station. Not sure about "trouble," but it can be fun to browse the galleries around there before or after.

Or you could catch the 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. flamenco show at Cafe Citron in Dupont Circle (1343 Connecticut Ave. NW) and get sloshed on mojitos while harrassing my ex-Dom (the singer) between sets. LOL (I told mystryloca about him, aka "Zeus Bug.")

P.S.

[ivorydamsel.livejournal.com]

Before or after, you could go north (across the circle) to the Lambda Rising bookstore (1625 Connecticut), Leather Rack (1723 Connecticut) and/or the Pleasure Place (1710 Connecticut Ave.).

I thought you guys did Dupont Circle yesterday? -- those place though I know are still there since I was there fairly recently :)

Re: P.S.

[ivorydamsel.livejournal.com]

True, but we didn't go to those retail establishments. Only had time to stroll to the circle park and then to Kramerbooks to eat. She might not want to go there again, but it's just a thought because that area probably has more adult retail than other places in town.

Re: P.S.

[make-your-move.livejournal.com]

I'll see what she's up for ... the Flamenco place looks interesting ... or maybe we'll hit Georgetown for a bit. Thanks for the suggestions babe :)

Re: P.S.

[bella-peligrosa.livejournal.com]

Oh, i don't mind. I'm here for the company and have no problem visiting the same area more than once :)

She lives!

[make-your-move.livejournal.com]

How are you feeling today babe? Looking forward to tonight ...

I miss DC! (I love Zaytinya!)

[vjhook.livejournal.com]

oooh, I hope you've had a good time wherever you ended up, but I second the vote for Zaytinya sometime - the atmosphere is crisp and airy and modern, lots of BLUE (I love BLUE), and they have a fantastic apricot drink that I can't get enough of.

Charlie and I are fans of Chef Jose Andres (http://www.starchefs.com/chefs/JAndres/html/restaurant.shtml), and for a brief moment before more children and private school tuition and business ventures sucked up all our discretionary spending money, we used to go out for dinner downtown sometimes - and his venues were among our favorites.

Other possibilities:

1) Capitol Hill: Either Union Station or the "restaurant rows" either along Massachusetts east of Union Station (Union Station Metro) or along Pennsylvania (200-300 blocks SE) (Capitol South Metro). In the latter area, Hawk n' Dove is one of the oldest Capitol Hill bars (though not upscale).

2) Adams Morgan: LOTS of stuff always going on there. Maybe go to Tryst, the coffeehouse. The DC Arts Center is roughly across the street.

Innocent? LOL!!

Oh...

[make-your-move.livejournal.com]

we found trouble ;) I'm sure you've heard some of it by now :)

Re: Oh...

[minofsin06.livejournal.com]

Yes, and it was delicious (*ahem*). I've added you, btw. Hope that's alright. Would be interested in getting to know you a bit (since I get the feeling you are going to be around -- LOL)

Re: Oh...

[make-your-move.livejournal.com]

I've added you, btw.
Yes, I saw, and I will be adding you back

Hope that's alright.
Welcome -- have a look around, grab a seat by my fire ...

Would be interested in getting to know you a bit (since I get the feeling you are going to be around -- LOL)

Over LJ? privately in email? you can mail me at the LJ address and I will try to respond to you as promptly as possible - however, I need to let you know I'm headed to Canada early Fri AM and this week is kind of busy. If it's through LJ, I can add you to any number of filters (poly/kinky/etc)

Let me know.

Re: Oh...

[minofsin06.livejournal.com]

We can do it over LJ initially. I don't know if J told you, but I will be in DC myself the last week in July for a frat convention. So, time permitting, it might be nice to grab a drink or something.

And feel free to look around my place as well. I don't have a fireplace or anything, because I'm not that fancy yet -- LOL. I have several filters working as well, tho I have added you to a couple already (BDSM, poly). But anything else you'd be interested, let me know.

Re: Oh...

[lazaruslong2004.livejournal.com]

I'm adding, too...whee!
