More (Kid-Free) Seats for 2 Amys?

Could there be relief on the way for the long lines at 2 Amys?

According to local blogger Layzeesusan, the wildly popular pizza joint is set to grow by about 30 seats into an upstairs space. Layzeesusan also reports that the new upstairs level, with a bar, is expected to be adults only.

If they can get the requisite soundproofing, I might actually start going back to 2 Amys. I guess they've been paying attention to the anti-tot rants online.

Fantastic, although the food is so good that I ignore my usual disdain for the wee ones.

True, they do get pretty kidded-out, like a higher-end Cici's or something, they have got to figure that they lose 20 to 50 tables on a crowded night for people not wanting to wait for their pizza. The addition makes incredible sense. I can't wait to see it. 2 Amys with more space is a definite plus.

It is my fondest dream that every restuarant in the world will create a "No Children" section. Baby steps....(no pun intended)

I don't mind the kids so much. But I've given up going to 2 Amys because I won't wait two hours for a table, without even a place to stand.

I live right around the corner and love their pizza. But nothing is worth those waits.

An adults only floor will be great! but to jenny--please don't punish those of us who have taught our kids restaurant manners for the transgressions of others....us fellow paretns are often the most appalled.

I just saw these New Parent Apology Cards at Pulp today, meant to be left behind by embarassed parents. One says:
"With extreme awkwardness and no small amount of embarassment, we would like to apologize for destroying your restaurant. We know it looks as if a disgruntled hard rock band just left, but, the truth is, we are just an average family ..."

Not a bad idea! http://www.theorganizedparent.com/servlet/the-110/New-Parent-Apology-Cards/Detail

All these fuckin' no-kid losers were kids at one time...and they all crapped and peed their pants as well. Oh, how weak human memory is!

Oh -- did you kids crap and pee their pants? I thought they were just running around and screaming while you looked oblivious. My mistake!

Those apology cards are a nice idea, but I've got a better one: tipping 40% on the after-tax bill. Since I started doing that, waiters are actually GLAD to see me coming through the door with my crotchfruit in tow.

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

Hello Cupcake Opens

Image
Cupcakes await the first customers at Hello Cupcake For a sweet spot in this final week of August, head to Hello Cupcake , which opens at 10 a.m. today at 1351 Connecticut Ave. NW. I had the chance to sample a few flavors with owner Penny Karas. The fluffy icing on the peanut butter blossom (above) is seriously addictive, and the seasonal root beer flavor is a delightful surprise with spicy root beer cake topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting. I'm going for a Velvet Elvis, banana cake with peanut butter frosting, next. There are gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, as well. Check out all the flavors here . Metrocurean photo
