Since you'll be near the White House, try Bombay Club. Very posh. Also kind of expensive, but they used to have a Sunday champagne brunch that was a terrific bargain. It's on Connecticut, near Lafayette Park. ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- "HA! That's it!

My family took me to a wonderful birthday dinner tonight at "White Tiger" on Capitol Hill near Union Station. Very good food and service, along with optional outside dining. Just a few blocks from the Union Station Metro. Someone wrote: > In , Dan Brown > writes: > >I'll be visiting DC next week, staying near the White House.
