This is great for NAPA. I was always feeling the undercurrent of something like this with NAPA, but they never came out and said. They should develop this and talk about it more. Just from reading their menu, I had the feeling they were leaning this way. It is no Nora....but if the food is purchased with this in mind, it would account for some of the higher prices.
I mentioned this before, but just wanted to throw it out there again.
We've got organic/local food at Granville Moore's. Organic/local food at Argonaut. Green business and local food at Napa. SOVA buys direct trade coffee.
Paging Richard Layman. Can we brand H St. as a green place to eat?
It's the way the world is going, and would be a nice competitive edge. Who knows, maybe we can get a Post article out of it. Get some more exposure for the places, and plant the seed in the public's mind.
The restaurants that are mentioned in the article seem to market their local food/greeness. I have heard about all of them mentioned in association with this trend. I have never(even though I live on Capitol Hill and basically in the neighborhood)even associated GM or the Argonaught with this. I think of them as bars. Any thoughts on this?
Anon 5:08, GM & Argonaught are considered "taverns" which according to Webster's is "an establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold to be drunk on the premises." I agree, sounds like a bar to me, but for DC regulators there's some licensing distinction between a "bar", "tavern", and "restaurant". To my knowledge the only new restaurants on H are Naby's and Napa 1015.

NAPA you need to let the public know.

Actually, DC doesn't have a bar designation. You've got CN [nightclub], CT [tavern], or CR [restaurant] ABC licenses.
