Clyde's Place


For John, BLUFA great lunch and a great conversation.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



I had lunch today with a friend at Clyde's, in Washington, DC (Gallery Place).  Here is the painting that greeted me, on the left side, as I entered the establishment.

"The Sultan of Swat"
The discussion was wide ranging, from the nine-dash line in the South China Sea (my friend is a "China Hand") to the current economic situation, to the dangers of too much government regulation squeezing out the small business persons, to how the current school debt problem will work itself out.

But, back to Clyde's, it is kind of pricy, but one is paying for the ambiance.  And the ambiance is great.

I had a BLT with coleslaw and it was good.  Then the Server came by and offered deserts, which we resisted until he said fruit.  I mentioned pineapple.  He wasn't sure of the fruit, but he knew there was watermelon and I settled for it.  When it arrived my host and I both thought it was pineapple, but when I tasted it it was watermelon—"yellow watermelon", from New Jersey.  It was a pleasant surprise.  And a generous portion, so I was able to take some with me and "educate" several of my Grandchildren.
