Good eats

DC Restaurant Week: Aug 24 through 30th.  For $35, the participating restaurants provide a three course meal, drinks, tax and tip not included, of course.

Attempted to make reservations today, aiming toward higher end places that make the fixed price menu a bargain.  (Even so, it's hard to leave without spending at least $120 for 2, assuming at least one drink each plus tip.)  A lot of the places we were interested in are already booked, no surprise there, must be quick at Open Table for DC's RW.

Reservations for:
Rasika (lunch, no dinner left)
Acadiana
Cafe Atlantico (lunch)
...and one other place I've already forgotten.
Bombay Club

Other places of interest that were booked:
Il Mulino
Taberna del Alabardero
Poste

Places I'd like to try outside of RW:
Potenza
Firefly
The Oval Room
Volt

Blue Duck Tavern, Citronelle and Michel Richard's Central were not participating, otherwise they'd've been on my wish list, too.

The participating restaurants seemed heavy both on high-end steakhouses and small plates.

Will be eating PBJ the following week for make up for all the eating out.

Gone To Soon

Got stuck behind a herd of slow-moving tourons today. Several wearing tees that read "Gone To Soon" across the back. While idling behind them, I tried to figure out where "Soon" was supposed to be. Preposition, right? Only to realize that the rest of the design was a stylized photo and dates. Okay, a memorial shirt for a friend/family.

Except "to" should be "too" in that case.

That kind of typo makes me cringe for the designer, the printer and wearer. The person being memorialized is beyond caring, but it makes me a little sad on his behalf, too.
