bigpoly60 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Two friends and I will be traveling to DC for the November 3rd Monday Night game between Steelers and Redskins. We'll arrive Friday night. Need some recommendations. I've been to DC and seen the major sights. We'll probably drive by and check them out again, but I'd like some ideas on some CLASSIC food joints, bars, holes in the wall worth checking out, etc. THINGS I JUST HAVE TO DO recommendations. Example: can't got to Pittsburgh w/o going to Primanti's, Fiorella's in KC, or Favre's restraunt in GB. We can't really tailgate because we'll be in rental vehicle and won't have a lot of tailgate gear. Anyone want to invite 3 guys from Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama over for some grub? One Steelers fan, One Redskins fan, and One Packer fan. Just in case this info. is damaging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Giuseppi Pizza (http://giuseppispizza.net/frames/main.html). A Steelers-themed pizza place. Yum. It's out in Rockville though, so maybe a little drive depending on where you're staying. (Side benefit: you can sing old REM songs while driving there ("Don't go back to ....").) The Pour House (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/cityguide/profile?id=799057&p=print). It used to be a combination Tiki bar and Stillers place, but it looks like it got bought out and watered down a bit. Ben's Chili Bowl (http://www.benschilibowl.com/). No Steelers connection that I know of, but a DC food landmark anyway. The 'Skins fan will be welcome here. Others might have to wait outside. Music. Check who's playing at the 9:30 Club. If you can find one, go see a Go-Go band. Maybe you'll see Slim Charles from The Wire (former singer for "The Backyard Band"). Exercise. If you're not too hung over (or even if you are), go for a run on the Mall in the early morning. It's inspiring. If you're really tough, you could come a week earlier for the Marine Corps Marathon. Museums and the National Zoo. They're all good and all free, so you can't lose. Get ya some culture, whydoncha?!? The Exorcist Steps in Georgetown. Kind of cool to see them if you're old enough to remember the movie. Guide. Here's the Washington Post's visitor guide. Click around for stuff you might like. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/cityg...uide/index.html Have a great time. If I think of more ideas, I'll post them. Go Steelers.
