Room 11 is located at 3234 11th St, NW (at Lamont) From an email:
“Please join us on Monday, December 21st for a Winter Solstice Celebration.
Starting at 5 pm we will feature the next beer in our guest tap series,
Anderson Valley Winter Solstice Ale, an award-winning 6.9% ABV spiced
brown ale.
We’re even more excited however, about the long-awaited release of our
house-made Nocino, an Italian-style green walnut liqueur that has been
infusing since June! The complex bitter flavor of green walnuts is
softened by sugar and complemented by baking spices and lemon zest. It’s
served cold but sure to warm you up on a cold Winter’s night.”

From an Email:
“Ben’s Next Door is featuring Macallan Single Malt flights which include the award winning 18yr, 12yr, 15yr and 21yr Fine Oak for $25 tonight- Thursday from 6pm to 9pm.”
Sounds like a good way to warm up on a cold night. Did anyone go to the one on Dec. 3rd?
Ben’s Next Door is located at 1211 U Street, NW.

I guess I’m on a bit of a Diner kick lately. We briefly looked at this spot back when they opened in July at 2222 18th St., NW. At the time a few folks had really good experiences. Now that they’ve been open for a while I’m wondering if more folks have checked them out? Everytime I walk by it doesn’t seem to be too crowded which surprised me. Any regulars out there?

I first stopped by the Florida Avenue Grill’s front window, located at the corner of 11th and Florida, NW, to admire this holiday sign:
I quickly went from laughter to tears when I saw this:
To be honest, I can’t say I was a frequent late night Grill person but I seem to remember some folks loved this as a late night option. Very sad to hear that it’s no longer an option. I can’t imagine what would happen if Ben’s Chili Bowl ever decided to do this… A disappointing development for a legendary DC institution.

We’ve been teased with a Jamaican Restaurant coming to this spot since 2007. This new sign is promising…

PS 7’s is located at 777 I (Eye) Street, NW. You can see their menus here. Would this be a good option for restaurant week? Any fans out there in general?
