• Good eats in the area

  Written by Deb / on 11/17/2008 / 2 Comments

  For all you Foodies out there - there are some really great restaurants within a couple blocks of the hotel.  Jane R. will have some dining guide books for you to peruse at the NLADA membership desk in the exhibitor area.  But a few of my favorites include:  Lebanese Taverna (Conn. Ave.); Taste of India; Sake Club and New Heights (American cuisine).  There are also a couple of good pizza places and a little cafe called Cafe Paradiso that serve tasty food as well.  Happy eating!

• Find Members by Name, Location, Title or Company

  Written by Jane / on 11/14/2008 / 0 Comments

  I had a great question from a group member today who wanted to know if there was a way to find other participants by State.  And, the answer is Yes!

• Informal lunch and dinner gatherings

  There is free time set aside during the conference, on Thursday at lunch (12-1:30) and Friday for dinner to go out on your own.  To facilitate informal gatherings of groups, use this site's Calendar tool in the Share menu to add your own event and let people RSVP to it. 

  There are many good restaurants just outside the conference hotel, or you can plan a trip by metro to most locations within the city.  Some restaurants are even offering special "Appetite Stimulus Plan" 3-course menus -- $24 for lunch and $35 for dinner.  Go to http://www.opentable.com/promo.aspx?m=9&ref=4699&pid=329 to view ..
