Ladies who lunch: Dupont or Farragut North

[Anonymous]

My turn to pick a lunch spot for our monthly 'ladies who lunch' outing. We're all working women, mid-late-30s, and the Front Page/Kramer's is typical of where we end up. I'd like to pick somewhere walkign distance to one of htose red line stops, mid-range cost wise, but not a chain/something interesting

suggestions?

Casa Nonna.

Casa Nonna is closed.
Tabard Inn is a great choice for lunch. A little nicer than Front Page though!
Is Levante's still open right off Dupont? That's a nice spot (or was!)

The Dupont South entrance is closed, so stuff on that side of the circle is often closer to Farragut North anyway.

Tabard is great. So is Firefly for lunch.

That's right, we're lookign to be near the north dupont exit or Farragut North - lookign to be able to transition quickly into catching up & not spend too much time walkign

Thanks!

Circle Bistro is right by the north Dupont Circle entrance and Bistro du Coin further up on Conn. Ave. By Farragut North, Paul just openned at K and Connecticut: http://www.paul-usa.com/ But it may be hard to get a table for a large group there.

Wow, I had no idea. That was quick.

One word: overpriced.
Also, I don't think it ever shook the ghost of the California Pizza Kitchen that was in that spot for years. People just didn't want to pay $40 for high-flying Italian in an old CPK.

Kababji, across from the Dupont South entrance (by the cupcake place). Good Middle Eastern food, lots of meat and vegetarian options.

Is the Iron Gate Inn open again yet?

It was closed for a long time, but was supposed to reopen in August. Beautiful patio outside if it's not too hot.
