This morning I had lunch at Afterwords Cafe in Dupont Circle (off the red line). It is a delicious cafe attached to a very non-Borders like bookshop called Kramer's. (Warning: the website is not nearly as cool as the venue)
My appointment was at noon but I arrived early and looked through their book selection. They have a very extensive travel section and I enjoyed their "classics" selection as well. The children's section was very small and I was a little put out by the amount of "Twilight" junky Young Adult Fiction was on display. But, my news reader tells me that movie just came out and has been very popular so I guess, when in Rome...
Afterwords Cafe also has a bar section, right past the Twilight books, but we ate on the back porch which thankfully has been glassed in. I ordered the Cafe Salad with Portobello which also came with a huge slice of cornbread. My lunch date ordered the Jamaican Chicken Salad which looked tasty especially the big piece of grilled mango on the side.
The waitstaff was pleasant and friendly and overall I would come back for lunch or perhaps to add to my enormous book collection!
