   Say, does anyone know a nice mid-range place to take the folks
   while they are in D.C. for Sunday lunch?  Prefererably in N.W.D.C.
   Thank you.

Well, not knowing what your parents are like, nor what you consider
mid-range, I'll make a couple of suggestions.  

1. Mrs. Simpson's, on Connecticut Ave.  Moderately fancy, sort of
   upper-class English feel to it.  Very good food, moderately
   expensive (not outrageous at all, though).  I've never been for
   lunch, but I'm pretty sure they are open.

2. Mrs. K's Toll House, on Colesville Dr. in Silver Spring.  Old style
   DC sunday brunch, that starts late and runs well into the
   afternoon.  Unchanged since the 40's.  Amusing place, really,
   although they take themselves very seriously.  Not for the
   cholesterol conscious.  Price fixe, about $15.

3. Austin Grill, Wisconsin Ave (towards downtown).  In case your
   parents are more on the hip side, this place has great southwestern
   food and is relatively cheap.  Check to make sure they are open for
   Sunday lunch.

4. The Cheesecake Factory on Wisconsin Ave (towards Chevy Chase).  A
   pleasant national chain, with hearty sandwiches and good desserts.
   Popular & close to American U.  About the same prices as Austin
   Grill, but more mainstream food.

Have fun....
