The tree House was awarded a Michelin Star in 1991. Was tough to beat for grease content and proximity to the dorms.

Tavola is exactly what I had in mind. First place we went out to after Covid.

Yeah Tavola is the best, but challenging with 8 unless you do some advance planning.

I’ve made this rec before, but Dairy Market is a good ā€œsomething for everyoneā€ approach since it’s a food hall and has beer there too. And Moo Thru is there for the kiddos. Though Little Manila closed their stand there, which makes me sad.

This reminds me that I also need to figure out where to eat before the Morgan State game LOL

I’m leaning towards one of the Barracks Road options… since it is before a game w/ 4 kids.

Peter Chang’s used to be my Barracks Road spot, but I haven’t enjoyed it as much the last couple of times. Switched over to Cafe 88 for my Chinese ( actually Taiwanese I think) food go-to, which is a charming family-run spot that would be horrible to bring 8 to haha.

One time one of my roommates drove to the Treehouse to get breadsticks and got a parking ticket in the less than 5 minutes he ran in to get them. Called them the most expensive breadsticks ever.

Yeah, we used to love Peter Chang’s as well, but we’ve eaten there once in the last five years. I feel like it’s a shadow of its former self.

If you’re ever in Nova, head to Mama Chang in my hood in Fairfax City.

Peter’s daughter (who I think is a Virginia alum, but not positive on that) manages this location and if Peter’s cooking anywhere, it’ll be this location. The rare days he’s there, man the food is so good.

Haha will do

No clue where our seats are. But we’ll be up in there.

Cool… text me on WhatsApp and I’ll come over and say hi without kids.

Haha will do. We don’t actually mind the kids. Just not often we get our without them. Pays to have the grandparents near for a change

So I’ve heard recently that Continental Divide has fallen off. Can anyone confirm?

So… is this really happening?
