DC

I'm here in DC for a conference for work, M and I came down last week Thursday to get in some sightseeing. Then starting Monday, it was down to business and M flew home while I attend session after session. A few observations we had of DC....

1. There are as many Starbucks here as there are Dunkin' Donuts in Boston.
2. People here are much friendlier...much much friendlier.
3. The Hyatt is nickle and diming us.
4. Chinatown is very un-Chinatown like with a serious lack of any Chinese food.

Here's the run down of things done and meals eaten:
Restaurants:
Capitol City Brewery (Penn Quarter) Bonus--got to keep my margarita shaker and they threw in a pint glass for Hubbleson!
Woodley Cafe (Adams-Morgan area)
Rosa Mexicana (Penn Quarter) Our best meal in DC
Haad Thai (Penn Quarter)
Sports Tavern--I swear this was the official name
Ristorante Luigino
Cure--in our hotel...so not worth it and we had a really overzealous waiter that I swore was about to hug M when we left.
Potbelly's (Penn Quarter)
