Mon Nov 17 10:38:17 -0800 2003 0 frustrated mom 1 904461 If you can walk a few blocks, head on over to Penna. Ave & 3rd St. where you can dine well at Las Lomitas, or a few restaurants across the street. Jimmy T's diner is near the Folger at 5th & MD Ave. but I'm not sure of it's afternoon hours on the weekends. My daughter was attending a Brownies program Sat. at the Sewall Belmont House, so I dropped her off & walked to Eastern Market & enjoyed a little shopping & coffee at Stompin' Grounds. I could not believe the length of line for the Market Lunch. As an alternate, do they serve breakfast weekday mornings - specifically their blueberry pancakes (not Mondays)?

Can't remember. I've bailed out from the line so many times out of sheer starvation.

Ate there last week and loved it: can recommend the octopus salad and turkish sausage: although they offer dozens of other hot & cold mezza.

White Tiger, on Mass and 3rd, has pretty good Indian food, including Malabar curry, which is not always easy to find. Two Quail is across the street from there. Park Cafe, at the top of Lincoln Park (13th and East Capitol?), has inconsistent but sometimes interesting South American food (not Tex-Mex). If you want bar food or Mexican, there's a lot of it over on Penn between 2nd and 4th, and again over on 1st and D(?). None of it is right next door. You'll have to walk at least a couple of blocks.
