Cool lunch spot?

[Anonymous]

I have just returned to work after baby #2 and things are NUTS! Between the 2 year old and the 3 month old, my husband and I are sorta like ships in the night... it seems like someone is always crying (sometimes it's even one of the kids ) My husband and and I really need some time together to just hang out. Unfortunately, we don't have family in the area and only have one sitter that I feel comfortable leaving both girls with, so it makes it hard for us to get some alone time. We both decided to take Friday off this week and just hang out. We'll still have the baby (she doesn't start daycare for another few weeks) with us, but she predictably sleeps for 2-3 hours around lunchtime in her carseat. Any ideas for a cool lunch spot in Arlington/DC? We're open to any sort of food, but ideally it would be someplace that isn't going to be crazy packed on a Friday with the work crowd. Points for cozy and great cocktails/beer list.

This is in Merrifield, but we took our 5 month old to Gypsy Soul, RJ Cooper's new restaurant. It's kind of pricey though, but very good and in a really cool space. I would eat there again for a special dinner occassion. Fiola Mare would be another choice in DC. But also pricey. Wherever you choose, have fun!
