Does anyone have recommendations for the Washington DC / Northern VA area?
My girlfriend and I are going up there in May for a few days to visit my sister, I've been a couple of times now.
Always looking for new places to go and things to do!

Washington ciders are supposedly very good… Just something I picked up gods know where...

[Chris]

You're thinking Washington state, not Washington D.C., Seul.

Hey, hold on there Chris…...."Thinking"?

RFD and ChurchKey for beer.

I love Bistrot du Coin for moules frites. Get em with curry.

Dukem and Kokeb for Ethiopian (DC has a large immigrant population and is noted for Ethiopian).

I'll post more about my former city as I think of it and have time. @seawolf may have some ideas too

Red rocks for pizza in Alexandria.
Church key for food and beer in DC.
Le Diplomat for authentic French bistro food. So good. Get the steak frites.
Liberty tavern in Arlington. Great burger, cocktails and everything else.

Thanks for the welcome Giles.

I'm really liking the look of these iron hearts. If I went and got the type of jean i normally get …it would be the "vintage Levis" probably 1947 501 rigid.

Anyone care to suggest which cut iron heart  would be similar to that ?

Cheers All

634S…

[Giles]

Either 1955S or IH-634S.  But both have a higher rise….

But best thing to do is.....

I'm picturing The Houston Problem pronouncing the word "MOE-rawn."

Or as Bugs would say, "what a maroon!"

[johnathon]

just saw the pictorial guide to the different cuts.

Giles …. Do you know a place in Melbourne that I could try some of these on to get a feel for the styles ?

20 Russell Place
Melbourne, Victoria 3000
Australia

But Google says the place is for sale?.. Might wanna give 'm a call first

What store is/was this @Seul?

[Seul]

No idea - but it's in the Retailers thread so…

Ah! It's Corlection!

They do stock IH but not denim…

[Giles]

Oh yes, whoops I forgot about Corlection.  They will start to stock denim soon, but I think their aesthetic maybe for the slimmer cuts

[Broark]

Thanks @mclaincausey and @seawolf for the recommendations!
Churchkey has been on my list the other two times I've visited, but still have yet to give it a go.
My sister and her husband are based in Alexandria and we'll be nearby, it'll be nice to be in a city with better public transit again so we can see (and drink!) more.

[Graeme]

I didn't know that Corlection have a store in Melbourne…

@johnathon I'm also in Melbourne. The best denim shop that I've found so far is the Up There Store. I'm a fan of the 1955 cut.
