Dinner in DC
Two days ago, we picked my wife's relatives up in DC after a full day of touring, and decided to head down to the 18th and U street area for dinner - we found a nice little Cajun place to eat at. The Creole and Jambalaya were quite good - if it was easier to get in and out, I'd likely go back. As it was, we got lost coming back out, which turned a 45 minute drive home into a 90 minute set of circles :)
Anyway, it was a lot of fun:
They comped us on a nice dessert of Beignets, which motivated a sizeable tip. Tiny little place, too - I was standing at the entrance when I took this shot.

You Got Lost?

You need a GPS.
GPS not enough

Tom,
A GPS can only tell you where you are. That's of surprisingly little help in DC (after all, we already have a street grid). What you need is something that can tell you all the one-way, interrupted, unmarked, and under-construction streets. With a little AI, such a device could probably mathematically prove to you that you can't get there from here....
what's the address of the restaurant or the name?

George,
You must have a really old GPS device. Time to upgrade to a modern one, which gives turn-by-turn directions. You enter the street address where you want to go, and it calculates the route, and tells you where to turn. I mean it literally tells you, in one of several voices that you can select. Street under construction? No problem, just turn off the specified route and it'll automatically recalculate a new route for you. I have the TomTom One. I highly recommend it.
