Slurping away Snowmageddon




Given the 25.5 inches of snow in Washington, President Obama's warnings of "Snowmageddon," Amtrak's "widespread cancellations," the shutdown of all runways at BWI, Dulles and Reagan National, the promise from The Washington Post that its "list of what's open" would include "mostly grocery and CVS stores," and the Post's Going Out Guide's warning that "cancellations are piling up like snow," I was pleasantly surprised to see how many restaurants on 18th St. in Adam's Morgan and along U Street were open today.


As you can tell, after failing to secure a table at L'Enfant (2000 18th St NW), we ended up at DC Noodles (1410 U St. NW), where the $12 noodles in soy soup (I ordered mine with beef and wide noodles) helped defrost all but my damp and frigid toes.
