Have you tried the Old Europe up on Wisconsin Ave nea?
Its been 15 years since the wife and I have been there, but it used to be a good place for German dining.

She should open a mail order branch of the German store. I'd buy.

Also forgot to mention there's a decent German deli in Falls Church. Good line of German products, including lots of sausages. I even found some Dusseldorf Alt beer there.

It's the "German Gourmet" at 7185 Lee Hwy. Watch where you park, one of the nearby business owners is quick to call a tow truck if you use his parking area to visit any other business.

Wasn't she the doctor on Star Trek, the Next Generation?

[SquirrelKing]

Is that you, Linda?

=)

[Rapscallion]

I am sure the places you recommend are good....but the debt of gratitude we owe to Linda makes it quite worthwhile for us FReepers to stop by the store and if possible buy something. She is a woman of immense courage.

[napscoordinator]

beautiful? Come on now, we all thankful for her assistance in getting President Clinton impeached, but let's not go overboard. That women is one of the most ugliest women out there. But, hopefully she will at least get some customers in her market. No Dems will be going that is for sure.

Well, I'm not THAT Linda. She would be "linda_20118". :)

[JackOfVA]

Agreed--Linda deserves support.

However, the places I mentioned are open year round, unlike Linda's December-only operation.

Plus, it's about 50 miles from Middleburg to the DC suburbs.

Old Europe looks good, but looks a little pricey. I might have to make that a special occasion type of thing. I would think a German food alternative (price wise) to an Chili's or and Apple Bees would make a small fortune, but i don't know anything about the restaurant business :).

As for the deli, a visit is now on my to-do list. Thanks for the ideas!

Elsie's - outside of Fort Meade?

The only one I have personal experience with is Old Europe. Not cheap, but very good food.

Although it isn't German, I can also recommend Russia House in Herndon for Russian food. Also not cheap, but good.

"What they did to Linda Tripp was disgusting."

I agree - and I'll never undstand why the Bush administration never kept HER on. After all, they kept a lot of Clinton's cronies on. If they kept anyone, it SHOULD have been her.

The Doctor on TNG was Gates McFadden.

Bavarian Chief just above Charlottesvilee on Rt. 29 is great.

"That women is one of the most ugliest women out there."

First off;..."THAT WOMAN" is reserved for Monica.

Second..I take issue with Linda being ugly. She's not. Your comment is.

I try to stay on the Virginia side of the Potomac, as otherwise it encourages the Maryland Democrats.

Probably will be making a visit to the Old Europe in January, as we have been discussing meeting a family friend there.

I will put a recommendation in for The Hermitage, in Clifton VA which is located about a quarter mile from my house. It's as good as any K Street establishment you will find. It isn't cheap, but first class food and a very scenic location. It's an old hotel, built in the 1860's that has been completely restored. http://www.hermitageinnrestaurant.com/

The town of Clifton is also quite historic, most of the houses are from the 1850-1900 period, with the oldest from the Revolutionary War period, so walking around the town is worthwhile.

For a less expensive Clifton alternative, the Heart in Hand http://www.heartinhandrestaurant.com/Index.htm is diagonally across the railroad tracks from the Hermitage. It's in an old feed and grain store, built before 1900, and redone, but still with wide pine plank floors, etc. Quite charming. Nancy Reagan and George Will would occasionally meet there for lunch when RR was in office.
