Wrong thread.Can we go back to being injured?
Plenty of options right around the Capital One. Rosslyn could be a good location since one could walk to GTown and is right on the orange line so could shoot into DC or along the Wilson Blvd/Clarendon stretch that has lots of restaurants and bars. Adams Morgan is one area in DC not really metro accessible.Oilers fan in peace (transplanted to Carolina). Couldn't make the Oilers game in November, but I love visiting NHL arenas and I'm hoping to see the game vs the Red Wings on March 26.
Are there any hotels by the arena that are Metro accessible? My plan is to come to DC on Amtrak on 3/25 and just backpack/take the Metro around town so that I'm not driving in DC traffic.
BTW, had the privilege of watching the Caps on a vacation to Anaheim several years ago. Ovi gave me my money's worth with 2G 2A in a 5-3 win; sorry to see him decline, but thankful for that special memory.
I work right next door, you should be fine at that time. Are you familiar with the area? If not I can throw you some recommendations.Old Ebbitt Grill | Washington, DC Restaurant & Bar
Established in 1856, Old Ebbitt Grill is Washington's oldest saloon, just steps from The White House and museums downtown.www.ebbitt.com
Talking the wife to Wednesdays game. She loves Old Ebbitt
Only reservation they have is for 4:30 ... we'll show up at 5 and see what happens I guess.
Might need to think of a cheap non reservation as a backup.

The Hamilton (600 14th St NW), The Smith (901 F St NW), and Succotash (915 F St NW) would be my recommendations but obviously check out the menu beforehand to make sure they're your style. Proper 21 (1319 F St NW) is an upscale(ish) sports bar if you're looking for something in that genre as well.Yes, if you give 2 good walk up non-reservation options .. thats be awesome.
Im somewhat familiar w the current landscape from going to Caps games and concerts. I spent my youth shoulder tapping homeless ppl for 40s and doing graffiti in DC ...
Do you think we'd be able to snag some bar seats at OE around 5:30?
I was going for comps with OEG in terms of price but yeah, pretty much any place in DC can get pricey. I went to Cava in Chinatown last week and it was almost $20 for a standard bowl with no substitutions or extras and no drink. Any meal below $15 in DC seems like a good deal, and that’s just for fast casual lunch — it’s ridiculous.I'd second the recommendation for The Smith, if you end up exploring those options. Haven't tried the other ones, but The Smith has some great food. Can be a bit pricey. I work 2 buildings over.
Whatd you end up eating tonight??Nice thanks yall ..
Succotash - been there before, I think I liked it
The Smith - never been there .. Im going to make a reservation there next game for sure. Looks like sit down and eat some awwesome dinner type place
IM actually eating lunch at my desk bc morning commitments went long so we arent going to do a sit down
Beer. I ended up eating beer.Whatd you end up eating tonight??
I get the distinct feeling that you and I would be good friendsBeer. I ended up eating beer.
My office is a few blocks from Silver Spring station so I like to get at least one beer from Silver Branch Brewery .. and then they had this great west coast IPA and this dry irish dark beer and then they were doing trivia so we just drank until 7 then high tailed it to the metro. Got there right on time for anthems and puck drop.
No dinner at all.
major headache today
lost my voice
i regret nothing
Getting old is fun.I've gotten to the point in my life where I need to start my beer dinners with an appetizer: a shot of Mylanta and a Pepcid.
Daikaya is still my pre-arena favorite spot -- the Izakaya is absurdly good and the ramen shop is excellent.
