Dining: &#39;&#39;I was kind of the black sheep of the family &#45;&#45; they didn&#39;t think I could do anything&#44;&#39;&#39; says Annie Kaylor&#46; &#39;&#39;And here I made this successful&#46;&#39;&#39; Successful&#44; in this case&#44; is an understatement&#46; Kaylor is referring to the 17th Street institution that bears her name&#44; which has been a de&#45;facto gay landmark and will celebrate its 60th year in business with a party this Monday&#44; Dec&#46; 15&#46; Annie&#39;s brother George started the restaurant in November 1948&#44; in the building that now houses the bar JR&#46;&#39;s&#46; &#40;Clockwise from center&#41; Annie Kaylor&#44; Leigh Hendricks&#44; Paul Katinas&#44; David Terry&#44; Raul de Guzman&#44; Adam Ocon&#44; Bill Cooper and Mano &#39;&#39;I believe we&#39;re the third oldest restaurant in D&#46;C&#46;&#44;&#39;&#39; says the 80&#45;year&#45;old Kaylor&#46; &#39;&#39;And also the newest restaurant in town&#44;&#39;&#39; interjects her nephew Paul Katinas&#44; George&#39;s son and successor as the restaurant&#39;s owner&#46; This year&#44; the restaurant has undergone a top&#45;to&#45;bottom renovation&#44; the first since it moved to its present location in 1985&#46; What was once a comfy yet dowdy two&#45;level space now features an inviting front patio and elegant first&#45;floor dining area&#46; Upstairs is a downright swanky bar and lounge&#44; perfect for happy hour and special occasions&#46;  ...

	<title>Hooray for Jaleo: Long a fixture in the Washington tapas craze&#44; Jaleo still rules the roost with a broad and tantalizing menu</title>

	<description><![CDATA[
Dining: With the craze for tapas showing no sign of letting up&#44; Washingtonians have a particularly good venue for enjoying it&#46; I&#39;m always glad to return to Jaleo&#44; with locations in Washington&#39;s gallery district on Seventh Street NW&#44; in restaurant&#45;rich Bethesda&#44; and most recently in Crystal City&#46; The d&#233;cor of the Seventh Street location is an interesting blend of Old World charm and modern flair&#46; From the street&#44; looking in through caf&#233; curtains&#44; you might think that Jaleo is a very traditional Spanish restaurant&#46; But inside the door you&#39;re met by bold colors&#44; unusual shapes and spaces&#44; and a decidedly trendy environment&#46; The popularity of this place&#44; combined with a no&#45;reservations policy&#44; virtually ensures that you&#39;ll have a bit of a wait if you arrive after 7 p&#46;m&#46; Fortunately&#44; a lively bar scene and a generous selection of wines and spirits makes the time fly by&#46;  ...

	<title>Indian Gem: Connaught Place offers exquisite Indian food in Fairfax&#44; VA</title>

	<description><![CDATA[
Dining: For fans of Indian cooking&#44; the Asian subcontinent&#39;s premier showcase is arguably located on the far side of the world&#44; where the excellent eateries of London are an enduring legacy of a once grand empire&#46; But London jaunts aren&#39;t the most practical ways for Washingtonians to experience superb Indian dining&#46; Venture instead to the much closer environs of Fairfax&#44; where you&#39;ll find one of this area&#39;s finest Indian restaurants&#44; The Connaught Place&#44; just a block off Main Street&#46; The moniker is borrowed from a square in New Delhi of the same name&#44; but it&#39;s obviously an English import&#46; General Manager Sam Santosh oversees an attractive and dignified establishment of white linens&#44; skillful service and relaxing atmosphere&#46; Such polite and polished service has waned of late&#44; particularly in a moderately priced restaurant&#44; so Connaught Place is a welcome respite&#46; And with food of such consistently fine quality&#44; you understand what a gem awaits you&#46;  ...

	<description><![CDATA[
Dining: Nearly three years ago Andale arrived in Washington and changed how we think about Mexican cuisine&#46; This isn&#39;t a place to come in search of upscale Tex&#45;Mex &#45;&#45; that&#39;s not what&#39;s offered on Executive Chief and co&#45;owner Alison Swope&#39;s menu of the &#34;contemporary flavors of Mexico&#46; &#34; More than contemporary flavors are offered&#44; as well&#58; The attractive bistro in Penn Quarter is awash in buttery yellow walls&#44; fabulous tiles&#44; and vivid Mexican artwork giving the space a lively and inviting feel&#46; Fabric lanterns and bronze light sculptures further enhance the experience&#46; This is the perfect place for a light snack or dinner before heading off to the nearby MCI Center or Shakespeare Theatre&#46; On Monday nights nearly every bottle on the wine list is half price&#44; one of the best bargains you&#39;ll find downtown&#46;  ...
