Maybe Red Sage. At least they existed in the 90s.

If he claims he invented the internet, we'll know he's a liar. Everybody knows Al Gore invented the internet.

Everyone knows Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet. Otherwise, not meaning to color between the lines. Just sketching out the broad canvas of what you never do and never knew. As for the 90s narrowly defined, it’s The Black Rooster, The Front Page, Filibusters, Buckley’s, Buffalo Billiards, Mr. Day’s, Samantha’s, and many other places you never got to. Going to the first game at Camden Yards as well of course. And many after that.

Sans Souci, Rive Gauche, Class Reunion and many others you missed, young man.

Your Google trip down memory lane doesn't negate the fact that you fucked up on the Astor or Chex Francois.

Just another two examples of your ego being too fragile to admit your mistakes. The 90s are the 90s. There is no narrow or broad definition of them. Just like there are natural brick townhomes or townhomes "painted in a questionable array of colors" in Great Forest. It's either one or the other. You get it wrong all the time.

Your bogus claims prove you are nothing more than a lying fraud.

Hmmm. More CALPERS crap. The Linus tantrums continue.

So much baseless bluster from Whiffies / Cretins!

Hmmmm. The spam magically appears after the Chez Francois and the Astor lies are exposed.

Cui bono?

Ain't you got no sense of humor, you obnoxious asshole? No wonder everybody here gives you a bunch of shit. A nasty, fucking, disgusting old man.

Washington Ave. closed between C Street and Independence Avenue. Could another horticultural malpractice be afoot? LOL!

Not at all. We ate at both those places often. as well of course as at Luigi's, and all are emblematic of what we have always done and you have never done. We had a KenCen subscription, and the routine after each performance was to head over to Chez Francois for orders of escargots and a glass of wine. The traffic seemed so much easier to deal with after that. These days though, the long and winding road back from L'Auberge Chez Francois limits our dining there to days of DST. We've never been disappointed there though.

Just another case of the narrow lanes and cramped alleyways of your weak and underdeveloped brain being insufficient to handle the load of any sort of serious traffic. Anything more complex than rote paint-by-number thinking is simply beyond your ken. Such is life among the intellectually lowly.

Not in the 90s as you so stupidly claimed.

Well, I'm busy leaving my mid 70s in the dust these days, and while 70 may be the new 50, I still don't think I qualify as a young man anymore. Duke's was meanwhile way too Redskinny for me (a baseball guy), and I don;t think we ever did the Class Reunion. The other two we did visit, and they were fine. But not really fine enough to justify a return visit. Been there, done that sort of thing. We did do 1789 more than once, but it was really in the same class in my mind. Not so with either Jour et Nuit or Au Pied de Cochon. Those were two of our G'town faves back in the day, so we went more often.

Actually, the place to go after an evening at KenCen was the bar at the Intrigue. I lived in Foggy Bottom then, W of 23rd. It was an easy walk to the KenCen and the Intrigue. Sometimes, though, I did get a cab to go pick up the lady if she preferred that over me sending her a cab and meeting it at the KenCen and paying the driver. I was a reg. at the Intrigue's bar anyhow, so they always had a seat for me, like they always did for us few neighborhood regulars.

The bar at the Intrigue had character. Sad, all of the Foggy Bottom hotels that had character are gone. GW bought the Intrigue and it's the campus hotel, now. Originally, GW had bought the Hawthorne, which was a flophouse/heartbreak hotel and used it for their campus hotel . I forget what they eventually did with it . Last, there was the old Allen Lee, the best bargain in the city. It was more a hostel than a hotel, with it's communal bathrooms at the ends of the halls , but you couldn't beat the price. Now it's just another overpriced boutique hotel.

Once again, the severely limited capacities of a dipshit moron are on full display. Shouldn't be allowed out alone after dark. And probably isn't, under LTCF rules.

the long and winding road back from L'Auberge Chez Francois limits our dining

Grew up near that Great Falls neighborhood. Food was a little much for my
pedestrian taste. Best part of L'Auberge Chez Francois-- visiting with the
house-cats that hung around the entry porch.

There's another fancy place in Little Washington, VA that ranks a 10 for presentation. But,
they didn't have any friendly cats to greet patrons.

Anyone remember Falls Landing restaurant in Great Falls owned by the Canon Seafood group?
Yummy filet mignon with rice pilaf sticks in the memory.

You fucked up.

Say what you mean. Mean what you say. You fail at both.

Fact is that you were completely unaware that Chez Francois decamped downtown in the 70s and the Astor a bit after that. Clueless fucking fraud.
