The Post Pub, Washington, D.C.

Just around the corner from the Washington Post offices is a little pub called the Post Pub, a place said to cater to the journalistic crowd from the Post and others. Friday, Kevin and I went there for lunch, but we didn't see anyone famous. Of course, I could have seen a really famous reporter there, but I have no clue what any of them look like.

Kevin got a hot pastrami sandwich with chips (thick cut French fries) and a little cup of cole slaw. It looked really good, and had an ample quantity of meat on the grilled rye bread.

I got one of the daily specials, the fish and chips, it being Friday and all. The fish serving was small (but it wasn't an expensive dish), and I was a little disappointed that there was no malt vinegar for the fish (it's an English tradition), but otherwise it was good. The tartar sauce was interestingly full of vegetables and not the standard pickle relish. I found the cole slaw to be interestingly hot and spicy.

For dessert, we each had a piece of carrot cake. The cake was okay, though a little on the oily side. It had lots and lots of raisins in it. I suspect the cake had been held for a while, since our decorative carrots on the icing had sort of melted into the top.


It being Halloween and all, they were serving Vampire's Kisses and Blue Zombies from the bar. We weren't drinking, but the cocktails looked fun.
