tryst is this lovely always overcrowded coffee house in adams morgan that i just love. i think the key is to go every once in a while - it really hits the spot. couches everywhere, free wi-fi, tin ceilings, and rotating local artist exhibits.
th and i ended up there last night for our monday night date, and were glad we made the trip to adams morgan (i know its only a few miles from capitol hill but parking can be a nightmare and we are impatient people). the washington carver (peanut butter and ghiradelli chocolate milkshake) is my favorite thing on the menu. they also have really good teas and sandwiches. we grabbed some drinks and food, listened to live jazz (with a fender rhodes. swoon), caught up on wedding thank-yous and had a great time out on the town. i think if we ever were to leave capitol hill, it would be for adams morgan. that part of town is so energizing and unique. i can stand it as long as its not a weekend night - it gets way too crazy for this homebody.
one of these friday nights i want to take TH to get a jumbo slice in adams morgan. he has never had one and they are an institution around here. so wrong, yet so right.

i've never had jumbo slice either! robbie and i keep talking about doing it, but never actually going. and i have heard rumors of the washington carver and really am craving peanut butter right now.
also, last time we went to adams morgan (or a couple times ago) it took us an hour to find parking. i'm embarrassed that we kept at it that long but it was when we lived in alexandria and weren't going to give up that easily!!!
oh we have to go jumbo slice it up sometime!
and even though it was a monday night, it still took my 10 minutes to find parking and almost got a ticket in the process. argh.
I went there with Neil and Bone Malone and ... ? one of the first times I hung out with Neil and co. and I had a little secret crush on him. A good memory. I think he got the Carver.
