Last time I passed by Cafe Splendide (on my way out of KramerBooks,
by the way), they looked seriously Out Of Business.  There was paper
on the windows and a sign saying that KramerBooks was expanding into
that space.  Haven't had a chance to find out if they relocated, but
considering the economy I figured they hadn't.  <heavy sigh>  Does
anyone know the real story?

A couple of months ago, the Washington Post had an article on "Wonderful
Restaurants That Died Recently" (well ok, that wasn't the actual title).
But they mentioned Suzanne's, which also was at Dupont Circle and very
nice, along with several I hadn't been to.  If I recall, they also
mentioned Le Pavillion which was located in Foggy Bottom and closed a
very long time ago.
