Maryland: themoneycollector is going to NoVA/DC, anyone want to meet up?

[themoneycollector]

I will be in the NoVA/Arlington/Alexandria/DC area for quite a while. The current plans are the last 2 weeks in July and the first 2 weeks in August. I should be free the evenings and weekends.

Any recommendations on restaurants or places to visit? I would love to meet some BOTL's for dinner and/or a smoke.

I am even tempted to venture out to NYC or somewhere else during one of the weekends since I've never been there. In TX, you drive for 11 hours and you're still in the same state. So I'm kind of excited to be able to be only a few hours from so many major cities in the northeast. I will have to wait and see how if this can be worked in though.

Since it will be a few weeks, my 15ct caddy is not going to hold enough sticks to make it through. I would like to visit a few shops, so I'm open to recommendations. Also, if anyone has a larger caddy (hopefully 30 or larger) that they would trade for sticks, please let me know. I will probably put out a WTT thread as well. I'm thinking I might also try and pre-package some sticks, leave the boxes in the humi, and have them mailed to the hotel for refills.

There are a few good shops, I live in Shirlington which is basically on the border between Arlington and Alexandria. Where are you staying?

[golfermd]

I live in the MD suburbs of DC. Would be glad to meet a fellow BOTL for a smoke.

Visit me on your way to NYC. Take New Jersey Turnpike North to exit 9, then Route 18 South for 1 mile, I'll be on your right. Call ahead and I'll make sure to be there and hook you up.

I smell a herf. What say you guys? I will post in both spots. My house or Cigar Palace?

[Jack Straw]

Cigar Palace is easiest for me, but I'm down for either, probably only on sundays, at least for the next to weeks.

I am out of town Aug 9-12 IPCPR NOLA and VAC Aug 14-22 but I will set something up with Sawsan. Maybe you can bring him out to the house one night as well.
