Q: i need to find an interesting place to have dinner in DC. Interesting takes on common food, a cool atmosphere...idk, something different. It's for my 18th birthday. and not too expensive. lol
A: Here are some suggestions: Italian food Bucca de Pepe in Dupont-Make a reservation to eat/be seated in their kitchen and watch your meal being cooked! This is so fun tell them that it's your bday /order dessert and they sing and bring out a candelabra. They also do family style or smaller portions. www.bucadibeppo.com OR Maggiano's-Italian food (Chevy Chase-Mazza Gallery) OR Lucky Strike Lane-Gallery Place Bowling and a restarant combined-regular fun food but a little more upscaled versions of pizza, wings etc. --I couldn't find a website but here are some of the food items. www.lvrj.com/living/7972432.html OR Spanish - Rosa Mexicano-you can get your host to make homemade guacomole at your table OR Jaleo or Zantinya -Tapas (Gallery place) Your friends and family can share different tapas and try new things. Jaleo has paella. American City Diner-watch black and white movie while eating American food (Connecticut Avenue) burgers, shakes A old stand-by Cheescake Factory -where can you go wrong w/ great dessert. Jackie's in Silver Spring-(right on the edge of DC) Thai There are several good places in Dupont that aren't to expensive.
