I lied. You get another Beltway restaurant plug (don’t worry, the chain’s already got me locked to my desk again). I don’t think there was much to speak of in Crystal City last time I spent any time there (some Cardinal Newman Society conference, circa…a while ago). But Friday night I hit two Spanish places run by some famous chef named Jose Andres, Jaleo and Oyamel, which is next door (great margaritas)—comfortable, trendy, not too noisy or crowded. It has K-Lo’s enthusiastic endorsement (Andres has my RNC pal–who picked the locations–to thank for the much-sought-after nod).
