We walked about 2 blocks away from the hotel (down F street a ways, I think) and there were 2 Irish place side by side. One was more of a rough pub kind of place, the other was a nice restaurant with a 1-word name.<br/><br/>I saw the liquor store but did not see your school, unfortunately. I did eat at Java Green and the Sticky Fingers Bakery, however. They were both excellent! Oh buttons, I can’t remember the names of the places we went to!

But I'm not sure which Irish Pubs/restaurants you're talking about. My Brother's Place? Drank there, too. I've also been to most of the nice restaurants in the area for law firm receptions and the less nice ones for my own consumption.<br/><br/>Did you go see my law school?

My hotel was near E street and New Jersey. I could see the Capitol building from the lobby.<br/><br/>How crazy that you went to law school partically next door! Did you ever eat at either of the two Irish restaurants/pubs nearby?

In the first paragraph, I meant that the woman was incredulous that a flight she requested to leave out of DC could leave from Dulles. Not being able to edit posts = lame.

She started going off on the woman behind the counter about how she specifically requested to have her flight leave from DC and how could it have been booked out of Reagan. I was about to point out to her that both airports were actually in Virginia, but yet both were DC airports, but she left.<br/><br/>That being said, you were already in Virginia.<br/><br/>Where was your hotel? If you took the yellow line I'm imagining you transfered at Gallery Place and took the red stop one stop towards Silver Spring and got off at Judiciary square. If your hotel was near the conference.<br/><br/>FYI, you were ONE BLOCK from my law school<br/><br/>FYI, I took the red line out to Silver Spring every day when I lived there.

FYI, you were ONE BLOCK from my law school

FYI, I took the red line out to Silver Spring every day when I lived there.
