Dinner on Saturday was my favorite meal of the weekend.  I chose Teatro Goldoni due to Washingtonian’s 100 Best Restaurants list and Art’s love of Italian food.  As an unexpected benefit, Teatro Goldoni was also within easy walking distance from our hotel, which is always a bonus!

For brunch on Saturday we went to Poste near the Spy Museum.  (It's a great museum, by the way.)  This was another restaurant I found on Washingtonian’s 100 Best Restaurants list.  They don’t serve lunch on the weekends, only brunch.  

Friday evening we headed to BLT Steak by Laurent Tourondel.  I’ve been interested in going here since last March while investigating restaurants for my birthday.  I was reminded of my interest while perusing Washingtonian’s 100 Best Restaurants list during trip planning.  

Friday morning started our first full day in DC.  We knew that we were going to do the Discover DC Safari with Segs in the City at 2:30pm, so we planned lunch for TenPenh at 1pm in order to be directly across the street from where the Segway tour began.  (On a side note, it was awesome and our tour guide, Adam, was full of interesting tidbits of information I’d never heard before.  It was a great way to cover quite a bit of ground in the city!)  We dined at TenPenh earlier in the year and I was eager to try out their lunch menu.  Art cheated a few months ago and went there with a coworker for lunch, so it wasn’t new to him anymore.
