I'm having lunch with a male friend tomorrow (I'm female). This is a strictly platonic friendship, I'm married, so nothing romantic or too personal. I can't think of a middle ground, he has asked me to choose the place, but I don't want to presume on his financial situation. I may be over thinking this... I'm not sure. I am used to going to very expensive places with my DH and girlfriends, he is still in grad school living the frugal life I believe, as I remember all too well. Any suggestions? No raw shellfish was his only requirement, and I prefer somewhere lively but not too loud that we can't have a conversation.
TIA! |

| Where? Is there an ethnic restaurant you like (say, Thai?), or a place like Hill Country BBQ, or Pain Quotidien, or Teaism... |

Jaleo or Zaytina aren't too expensive if you don't over order.

OP here. Anywhere in DC. Preferences would be Penn Quarter/DuPont/Adams Morgan/Georgetown.
Jaleo and Zaytina are good recs! |

| I always do Busboys and Poets for things like this (meeting up with old friends). Loud, decent affordable food, and a good place to linger and talk if you want to. |

| Busboys & Poets is a good call. Birch & Barley, if you can get seats. Cafe L'Enfant or Meze in Adams-Morgan? |

I like Busboys.
If Dupont is an option, I'd try Kramer Books: http://www.kramers.com/lunch.html |

| Second vote for Kramer Books on Dupont Circle. Near Penn Quarter, more Chinatown, how about ramen at Daikaya? |

Thanks for all the recommendations guys. We decided to go to Jaleo. He's been to Busboys but wanted to try something new.
Looking forward to lunch! =) |
