A few things:

1. Get yer grub on during Restaurant Week, starting Monday, August 6. Reserve your table now, or you'll have to wait until January before you'll be able to again afford a meal at one of DC's fanciest-pants restaurants. I'm banking on Agraria (woot woot), with Vidalia or Bistro Bis as runners up. Prix fixe lunch for $20 and dinner for $30.

2. Also, I'm going to this tonight, so if you're interested, stop by and say hello. Or, you know, throw a rotten tomato. Whatevs.
