Culinary fun fact: Almost all truffle oil contains zero truffle…it is a synthetic product

It does if you spend enough.
I have truffle salt from paris that is soooo good on popcorn.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good Italian food near Arlington/Crystal City?  I want to eat at nando's, but everyone else wants pasta before MCM.

I like Il Radicchio in Rosslyn for spaghetti.
Good eats in Bawlmore, near Ram's Head?

Who's got em?
We went to Alewife the night before the Baltimore Marathon. Good eats and great draft list.

Though I bet you want something closer and more fancypants.

Good eats =/= fancy pants.

And one mile is close enough.
Near Ram's Head, head over to Harbor East.  chingale, pazo, lebanese taverna…lots of choices.

Joe Squared Pizza is basically right next door to Rams Head, and they're not bad.

Hersh's has better pizza and a pretty good beer list, but they might be just outside of the 1 mile radius.  There's free street parking at Hersh's if you can find a spot.
thanks folks!
It's near Lexington Market, so in an area that Walky might fear getting shot in. For the record, we didn't get shot, so that makes it safe.

I went to The Thames Street Oyster House (Fells Point) on Friday for lunch.  They have 15 different types of Oysters on the Raw Bar.  I picked 3 types to eat which were all tasty.  Had a pretty good Mahi Sandwich with cucumber salad.  Dessert wasn't the best.  Decent beer selection

I spent 260 bucks for dinner for 2 at Cinghale the last time I went so I doubt that is a choice for pre-gaming Rams Head. Good food though.

They also have a kick ass lobster bisque when it's on the menu.

Chingale doesn't have to cost that much!

Well the 4 course Dinner menu is 62 a person.  Then I got a 60 dollar bottle of wine and then I still was thirsty and I let the waiter recommend a glass of wine which was probably a msitake.  With tip  and tax 260.  And I would like to mention that 60 dollars is one of their cheaper bottles  of wine.  You would have to pay at least 45 bucks for a bottle of wine.  That would still set you back 217 dollars with 20 percent tip.
