    Welcome Fall!

    It's the first day of Fall in the Northern Hemisphere.  Before fully the upcoming embracing the mild days and cooler nights I feel as I should at least get closure on my summer adventures.

    During Restaurant Week I visited Sushi-ko.  Good food, creatively prepared and presented at reasonable prices.  The restaurant is a short walking distance from Friendship Heights metro.  Parking is also available in the onsite parking lot (be sure to get your ticket validated to receive the discounted parking fee). Sushi-ko is also family friendly. Reservations can be made via opentable. My biggest regret was at the time I took photos I didn't realize I didn't have sufficient data storage on my camera.  I think this grounds for a second visit don't you?

    I also visited Johnny's Half Shell with a pal during Restaurant Week. This pal is a rather selective eater,  but she was happy with Johnny's. All the generously portioned dishes were well seasoned.  The bathroom is clean and tidy. The restaurant is family friendly and offers a kids menu.
    Johnny's Half Shelf is near Union Station metro stop. Street parking is available , but pay close attention to the information on the meters as many run until 10pm. Reservations can be made via opentable.
