| Friend is in visiting from NYC and we are having a girl's night out. We are 39-40 and eat/try anything. Looking for a lively, casual atmosphere and are willing to go to any DC neighborhood. Would also love a fun, more mature bar that we could walk to afterwards for a drink. TIA! |

| Go to Jaleo on 7th, Zaytinya on 9th or the new Graffiano on 6th. Lots of bars nearby to walk around. |

OP here--Graffiato was a great suggestion! But the next reservation they have available is 10 PM on Monday!
I love Jaleo and Zataniya, and they are great fall backs...anything else? |

There are two good restaurants in City Vista, at 5th and K. Mandu is pretty good Korean, and Kushi is Japanese. Kushi's a little more expensive. Both are good food, fun/trendy atmosphere.
For drinks afterwards, you could go to The Passenger across from the Convention Center. |

| CoCo Sala on 9th Street (I think) is delish and then you can walk to the bars in Chinatown. Hank's Oyster Bar at Q and 17th is fun... afterwards walk up to Dupont for a drink. Or go to Fox and Hound right around the corner from Hank's and sit outside. |

SO noisy. I haven't been back since a miserable experience there two years ago. By the time the appetizers came, we basically stopped trying to talk with our friends; it was hopeless. Have they found a fix for the godawful noise level? |
