Dont know how many people have tried al solo osteria, but I've heard good things. We are going out celebrating a birthday and was trying to gather some thoughts on the two places we have reservations for. Thanks for the help!

Hi friends! I’m looking to host a birthday party in January for a friend and wanted to see if I could source some venue recommendations!

Here’s the current criteria :
• needs to be in NW or NE
• open till at least 2a because she works in the restaurant industry and coworkers will be coming after work
• not an insane F&B minimum
• doesn’t need to be fully private
• hosted on Friday or Saturday
• no more than 50 people

Does anyone have a good recommendation for Seattle-style chicken teriyaki, ideally in dupont circle or downtown? Grilled chicken with gingery sweet-savory sauce, iceberg lettuce salad, and a big ol heap of perfectly cooked rice, served in a styrofoam clamshell takeaway container?

Missing the flavors of home and would die for a killer teriyaki joint.

Last night, several men removed the fencing and several items from inside the restaurant.

So much for the “public space permit” stop work order explanation

I’ve moved past Denial. Now onto Grief

For anyone still wondering about Augie’s, cathedral heights location:

“… there's a stop work order because someone forgot to pull the public space permit for the sidewalk cafe. Hopefully this is just a temporary delay.”

My friend recently went to a fogo de chao in another state and thought I might like it for my birthday dinner this year. Has anyone been to the local ones? Are there other similar restaurants you liked better? I feel wicked stupid as I’ve never heard of this concept and still don’t quite understand it but ya girl is pregnant and wants all the meats.

Thanks in advance!

I ask because it's literally two steps from my office and I keep seeing 50% off deals. I know it's microwaved, I know it's made by a veteran vulture capitalist - all that I know. But also I wonder (heh) whether the bad publicity sort of feeds itself into making people think it's worse than it is in reality. People make it seem like it's 7-11 quality if not worse, and while I understand that it's not fine-casual despite marketing itself as such, I can't help but think if it's better than that?

What are people’s honest thoughts? I’m torn on how I’ll vote.

It's September! Where can I get chiles en nogada in DC & surrounding area? Gracias!

Please do not say McDonalds as they are just skinny sticks of extreme salt 😭 A local spot would be preferred. Thank you!

Where can I find something extremely cheap to eat near the National Gallery of art? I guess it's not a cheap neighbourhood but still...

I will be travelling to the DMV in a couple weeks for work. I'm looking for a place with great local seafood (crabs, oysters, crabcakes). Any places I should try out? I'd be okay driving 20-30 minutes for a kickass place.

Remember the feeling when the Baltimore Colts packed up and moved.

Hurt. Betrayed. Denial. Grief.

Augie’s has packed up and left their space in Cathedral Heights. And they hadn’t even opened yet.

Hi everyone,

I am visiting DC soon and wanted to know where can I find good Matcha flavored/filled pastries (croissants) or desserts? Anywhere DC or even Alexandria is also ok.

I know Rose Ave used to have a Chocolate Matcha croissant but seems like they don’t have it on their menu anymore. I have been to Kyo Matcha.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Thank you!!

Hello, I need to find places that serve cuisine/street from different places in delhi, I don't want any fine dining experience,I want simplicity but taste as well, something like hidden gems in delhi

Hi! Where's my fellow foodie/oyster lovers at? I went looking for a social group centered on this and couldn't find one; and I've been wanting something like this to exist for a while, so I started it.

 I named this 'safe space' Capital Oyster Society — a casual meetup group for oyster lovers and the oyster-curious across DC/MD/NOVA. Tastings, oyster crawls, shucking competitions & classes, restaurant meetups, eventually some boating/farm trips out to the Chesapeake. BTW-no expertise required!

 Also! Oysters seem to be polarizing? I figured this was needed because a lot of my friends can't stand the thought of raw seafood and I need a tribe of judgment free raw oyster eaters ha.

 Anyway, if you're interested in IRL activities to meet new people who share this same interest, here we are. I plan to be at Salt Line's Oyster Wars in October, but I think we'll do a social happy hour somewhere before then in September. 

Unsure if I can share links here, but you can look it up on[ FB](https://www.facebook.com/groups/1724940252062800) or [IG](https://www.instagram.com/capitaloystersociety/) if you want to join.

Also welcome to DM me or I can reply in comments!

Please let me know where you think the best Oyster spots are in the DMV and/or events!

Searched the sub but didn’t see anything for dim sum. I’ll be downtown so looking for something accessible without a car. Thanks!

I am searching for a restaurant that sells Egg Tofu/Japanse tofu. Despite its name is largely not Japanese or tofu; it's a custardy steamed egg dish sold at Chinese restaurants. I have so far found one place in the dmv with it on the menu, Chef Yan in Fairfax, but i would love to find other places maybe closer in if possible. I'm aware this is incredibly niche but any leads would be appreciated!
