Wed Oct 28 18:22:14 -0700 2009 15325 aunteejoy 1 5139020 That's almost (but not quite) a contradiction in terms. I don't believe there are any. Wed Oct 28 18:43:50 -0700 2009 5138970 16064 zsero 2 5139535 I think you may mean a place where you can pre-purchase a Shabbat meal, like you can in many cities in Europe. There used to be a place that did that, but the Va'ad only them do it because it was in a hotel. I have asked at Pomegranate if they could do that and their reply was "the Va'ad won't let us". If you're staying in DC for Shabbat your next best bet is to get a fridge in your hotel room and buy food beforehand.

Also, when I was an undergrad, the GW Hillel (Foggy Bottom) offered meals for some or all of shabbat that DC visitors could pay for in advance.

I am also guessing she would be okay with certification from a Conservative Rabbi Thu Oct 29 16:13:14 -0700 2009 5140182 193375 vallevin 5 5146290 That is exactly right. Sun Nov 01 03:11:46 -0800 2009 5141456 15325 aunteejoy 4 5142329 Though I may be wrong, I'm pretty sure that their restaurant info. is out of date. Fri Oct 30 05:30:37 -0700 2009 5140182 15126 Bzdhkap 5 5142386 Well, if vallevin is right about the OP then I can not be of help. As to whether their info is right or not, the OP can always call any places listed, call the shul, check with the local JCC or the fedration, etc. Fri Oct 30 05:57:09 -0700 2009 5142329 275690 dfsny613 1 5139617 There are restaurants in the NY area that have heckshers and are open on Shabbat for non-prepaid meals. Whether they are the Indian places, the various vegetarian/vegan places or the Hebrew National delis. The heckshers may not be universally accepted, but they exist. That being said, I don't know anything about the DC world. Thu Oct 29 05:33:01 -0700 2009 5138970 67362 craigcep
