Thanks guys. In DC, I am going to be close to the White House and Manhattan in NYC. I have a car for half the trip and on public transit the other half. I am not that picky about food, American, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese are all good. Something interesting and different that I cannot find else where in the country would be perfect. There are always so many choices when I travel that I find recommendations are better than looking in the phone book or on the web. Thanks again.
