First of all, you can't even have fun for under $10 in Times Square!
Second of all, don't insult them by taking them to a French restaurant.
Now for my suggestion, there's a cool middle Eastern place called Fetoosh
in Georgetown on the northwest corner of 33rd (or 32nd) & M St.  It's
not fun because of the other patrons, it's fun because of the somewhat-quiet
(but not conspicuously so) and pampering atmosphere, and authentic (but how
would I know) cuisine variety.  I recommend the maza (or something like that)
which is a meal of 30 or so appetizers, and they would bring it out in
quantities of 3 so each person gets one of each food.  It's not spectacular,
but it's damn good.  I thought they had a good wine list, too, which your
French visitors may or many not agree with/appreciate.

Oh, and it's not for under $10 per, either.  But if you think you're gonna
find that in DC......

Good luck,
+Carm
