R: A very different scene. Its nice if you want a change from your typical outings in Clarendon, Georgetown or DC. Also, older crowd. Seems like most people are working age, 30s and up for the most part.
M: It’s like all those other areas. There are shops, restaurants, nice waterfront, along with the Gaylord Hotel. Yes, weird name but it is the heart of the area. I went to a conference here once and this place is huuuuuuuuge. It even has its own forest inside.
R: There are also events and such around the holidays. We went for the tree lighting event for Christmas. It was very crowded!
M: It is a pricey area somewhat like Gtown. They have a McCormick and Schmicks, Rosa Mexicana, and other well known places. We ended up going out for drinks at a local place called Ketchup. Cool artwork on the wall, all dealing with.. ketchup. They do have a piano bar there, I think it’s the only one in the area? It is an older crowd of course (like 30s and 40s) but it’s something different.
R: By the way, did I mention they have a peep factory!!
M: The one major problem with the area I’d say is PARKING. It’s like freakin $11 bucks an hour in the garage. Killer.
R: Yeah, I’d say go, check it out, see if its your style. It’s not somewhere I’d go to often, but it is something different than the usual bars/restaurants in town that we all know so well and all too often get bored of.
