It's Restaurant Week time again! http://www.washington.org/restaurantwk/

I've got a Thursday night reservation at TenPenh, and Tuesday night at Willow. Anyone have any particular favorites on the list of participating restaurants and/or want to get together for dinner on Monday or Wednesday? I've already tried hitting up Corduroy and everything's booked until 10 PM every night; that's a bit too late for dinner downtown on a school night for me, sadly. Also, I am going to be leaving town on Friday morning and so I lose a few days of options in there.

*cry*

Do people go to Seattle and remark on the lovely view of the Potomac?

On the Yellow Line metro coming into the city, a large group of tourists with children fresh from the airport remark about the sights coming into view:

Boy 1: "Whoa! Look! What's that?"
Mom: "Oh, it's the Washington Monument! Wow! Look kids!"
Kids: "Whoa...!"
Boy 2: "Hey look, what's that one?"
Mom: "Ahh, I think that's the Lincoln Memorial."
Kids: "Whoa...!"
Boy 2: "Hey, what river is this that we're crossing?"
Boy 3: "Yeah, it's a really wide river. What is it?"
Mom: "I don't know, maybe Puget Sound? Yeah, Puget Sound, I think that's right."

In less depressing news: DC Summer Restaurant Week will be August 6-12. I suspect there will probably be another outing to the fabulous Butterfield 9 in my future, assuming finances allow by that point.

Okay, who's doing what, when?

DC Foodies had good things to say about Corduroy, so I'd like to try and finagle a seating there. I always love Filomena, and the one time I ate at Chef Geoff's it was pretty tasty.
Zaytinya's a good bet as well, so long as you don't mind a looooooooong wait for a table on weekends.

Others I'm considering (if you have opinions on any of them, feel free to speak up):

Agraria
In all my years at Georgetown, I never once managed to eat at 1789; I'm not feeling a severe lack, honestly, but wouldn't be averse. Chris, you'd have to dig up a jacket though. ;)
21 P (although it loses points for highly annoying website)
Indique, maybe? Or perhaps Rasika instead.
Haven't been to Sequoia in years, but it's not top of my list.
Sesto Senso
Ten Penh

That's from a quick rundown of the list, there are probably more I might be interested in when I have more time to look things up.
