Meet and Greet at Yummy Bowl
Yummy Bowl serves Mongolian BBQ, sushi, and ramen. Mongolian BBQ is a stir-fry style of cuisine where you place a selection of raw noodles/rice, vegetables, fruit, and protein in to a bowl along with your choice of sauces and the dish is cooked for you on a large, round grill while you wait. Every bowl is delicious and you are the chef so the selection gets better every time!
Expect entrees in the range of $17 plus tax and beverage. This is a great opportunity to meet others who are new as well as those who have been around a while! Look for GRASP table flyers and Eli's GRASP shirt to easily find the group. We can't wait to see you there!

Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle
Zorba's Cafe on Thursdays! We will be on the 2nd floor, or if the weather allows, we will be sitting outside at a table in the street. If you don't see anyone on the 2nd floor and the weather is favorable, it means we're sitting at the table in the street.

Welcome to the old venue! Old - since we used to get together at Zorba's Cafe for many years. Come to the 2nd floor.
1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009
This is very close to Metro Dupont Circle station.
This is the same place where we got together every Thursday evening for many years before 2015.
Everyone is welcome, but please keep conversation in Russian only. For many of us, this is our only chance to practice our Russian. There are happy hour prices available.
Timing: Someone is usually there by 5:30, but it sometimes takes the organizers till 5:45 or so. If you get there first, please wait - we will be there! And people are usually there till at least 8. So if you can't make it right at the beginning, that is perfectly fine to arrive late!
RSVP's: I encourage you to RSVP. But please know that many people don't RSVP. So it may seem like only 3 people are planning to attend, but have no fear, we usually have a good-sized fun group! (And we almost always have newcomers. So if you are planning on coming for the first time, you most likely won't be the only one.)
Also, when the weather is nice we are frequently sitting outdoors. So if nobody is on the second floor, just look for the group speaking Russian at tables out on the street.
And to say again - we have often had only 3 or 4 people RSVP but have 15 or so show up. So don't worry about that.
See you there!

Casual Dining Out: Bansari
Welcome to Casual Dining Out, the event series where we explore counterserve establishments, food halls, and other venues for quick bites of Asian, "fusion", and other fare! As in the past, the field for these events will typically be limited, so please RSVP quickly if you know you're coming (or drop out quickly if you can't make it to give others a chance). RSVPs will close at 4 PM the day of the event and anyone who drops afterwards may be subject to the dreaded "no show" designation.
This edition: Northern Indian and Indochinese delights!

**Jump start the new year by prioritizing yourself.**
Join us on January 29, 2026 from 6-7:30pm for a nourishing gentle yoga class accompanied by a deeply restorative sound bath. Yoga offers far more benefits than just stress relief.

Gentle yoga supports hormonal balance, improves sleep, strengthens the body, enhances flexibility, boosts our mood, and helps reduce inflammation. It also allows us to cultivate greater awareness of our bodies, empowering more intentional self-care and supporting the management of chronic health conditions.
This class is accessible, supportive, and welcoming to all levels. Whether you are a new or practiced yogi or yogini, come as you are and leave feeling grounded, restored, and renewed. Be sure to register early as space is limited to 20 yogis!

Excerpts from "The Peloponnesian War" by Thucydides @ MLK Jr. Memorial Library
For our January meeting, we will be discussing two works of Greek history, written by the most famous Greek historian of them all: Thucydides! These will be short excerpts from his grand recounting of the war between Athens and Sparta, *The Peloponnesian War.*
The first excerpt is "The Funeral Oration" from Book 2, chapters 34-46. The second is "The Melian Debate" from Book 5, chapters 84-116. I will be reading from the modern translation by Martin Hammond, available [here](https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-peloponnesian-war-martin-hammond/c58be36e4fab629a), but feel free to use whichever edition you prefer.
As usual, we will meet in the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in the **205-B Accessibility Room**, located on the second floor. Ask at the Center for Accessibility front desk if you are looking for us. See you there!
Indulgences from the French Riviera at Barbouzard!
Join us in opening the new year in French-Mediterranean Style at Barbouzard!
The Washington Post review (by Tom Sietsema Sept. 18, 2025)
The crackle of energy whenever a new restaurant debuts reminds me of opening night at the theater. In many cases, the dining room is (over) staffed with a cast of well-rehearsed people, dressed to impress in whatever uniform the owners think represents the theme, everyone eager to introduce you to a concept they hope you enjoy. A new-car smell typically mingles with kitchen aromas.
โWelcome to Barbouzard,โ a server says to my posse, launching into a spiel that announces veteran chef Cedric Maupillier, of the late Convivial in Shaw, as the headliner and a theme designed to bring a taste of the French Riviera to downtown Washington. The name, suggested by a friend of principal managing partner Nasr El Hage and rooted in French slang, alludes to the cityโs sense of power, intrigue, the clandestine. โBarbouzard means โsecret agent,โโ says our server, whose gaze then pivots to me. โYou never know,โ he says playfully. โOne of *you* could be a secret agent!โ
Maupillier and El Hage met at a Bastille Day party at the French Embassy last year and launched Barbouzard on K Street NW with a cocktail party for friends and supporters July 14 โ a year to the day later.
Maupillier seems born for this job. A son of Toulon, the chef has relatives in Cannes and Marseille. (His rรฉsumรฉ includes the late Mintwood Place, Central Michel Richard and the long-shuttered Citronelle.) โI want to cook for everybody,โ he says, acknowledging that not everyone has โa budget for caviar,โ a feature along with shellfish platters at Barbouzard. One of his more gently priced dishes, a rabbit pasta, is $31 and harks back to his youth, when he spent time in Provence, hunting with his grandfather. Maupillier uses ruffled, bell-shaped campanelle, the better to catch juicy bites of braised rabbit, lightly sweet with carrots, woodsy with mushrooms and whisked to the table beneath filings of pecorino.
If you pay any attention to menu categories, an increasing number of restaurants are offering what amount to two sets of appetizers. One is usually described as โsnacksโ or โbites,โ sometimes for sharing; the other is a typical first course. A sly way of getting diners to spend more money? A chance for chefs to put more of their creativity on display? Whatever the reasoning, focus on what the menu at Barbouzard calls โeasy to share finger food.โ
The showiest of the bunch look like petits fours: bases of brioche layered with foie gras mousse, preserved cherry and port jelly. Each of the five bites of โFoie Gras Opรฉraโ glints with edible gold. โI feel bad about eating this,โ says a companion as he pops the rich art into his mouth. Even the more common combinations call to me. Crimson slices of bell pepper slowly cooked in olive oil and paired with Nicoise olives and plump, intense Calabrian anchovies feels like eating red peppers for the first time, and salt cod whipped with potato, olive oil, garlic and thyme and sprinkled with toasted breadcrumbs makes a standout brandade de morue.
Kudos to the restaurant for welcoming more people to the party by flagging dishes that contain nuts and pork and are gluten-free or vegetarian. Cracker-like chickpea pancakes served with a pistachio-colored foam of whipped scallions and cream cheese present like some of the fanciest chips and dip in town.
Your next stops on the menu ought to be crudo and scallops. Maupillier creates what resembles a rose from ribbons of raw tuna, which blossom in a frothy pool of coconut milk and minced bell peppers dotted with cilantro oil. Influencers (arenโt we all these days?) are also likely to snap and post seared scallops interspersed with miniature corn flans in a foamy orange pool coaxed from red curry paste, fish stock, milk and sharpeners including ginger and lemongrass. The dish tastes of sea, summer, the tropics. Chef might consider bottling and selling just the sauce. (Hint, hint.)
This being downtown, the owners thought Maupillier should put steak on the script, which the chef reluctantly did. D.C. is stocked with places that excel at grilled beef, after all. Still, hanger steak served with a bold green peppercorn sauce and housemade fries could compete with the city's best. More novel is a fan of smoked duck, each slice rimmed in a band of flavor-carrying fat, splayed over braised leeks and endive and a dark red beet puree. Orange in different guises lends vibrancy to the main course.
Some lesser moments sneak in, among them the rich-on-rich lobster Amรฉricaine, the seafood a little muted, the pasta cooked nearly to mush. I love the sauce, though, a creamy, cognac-laced bisque fueled with lots of flavor from lobster shells. Maupillier is proud of his elegant bouillabaisse, in which the different fish and shellfish are cooked separately and the broth is added at the table. Fans of the traditional, more robust and saucier version of the classic might be disappointed. (In fairness, the dish is listed with quote marks.)
The restaurant doesnโt pause between lunch and dinner. Instead, it offers โgolden hour,โ during which lighter fare โ a wagyu cheeseburger, gazpacho, truffle prosciutto croquettes โ is offered. Basically, the amenity is a happy hour that does double duty, playing up the roomโs gold accents and its location in the Golden Triangle, downtownโs business district. I can see the room animated with diners who prefer way-late lunches, super-early dinners or anyone who needs a little festivity at odd hours.
Convivial enjoyed a well-deserved reputation for sweet endings, renown that continues at Barbouzard, where the warm date pudding is enhanced with halvah ice cream and a cardamom-infused toffee sauce. Fittingly, one dessert is designed to look like a tin of caviar. In reality, itโs tiramisu paved with chocolate pearls set with chilled oil (hence a shimmer like pricey roe) set in a tin atop faux crushed ice. Very Vegas, the confection goes by โCaviamisu.โ The charm award goes to what looks like a pear robed in chocolate, named for the chefโs mother, who adored the dish. Slicing into the dessert, Poire Belle Michรจle, reveals a delightful surprise: the form is shaped from hazelnut financier, diced pear, white chocolate and more, then centered in a wavy bowl of marzipan-sweetened custard sauce.
El Hage says he wants to make Barbouzard a dining destination, and heโs off to a strong start. More than $4 million went into the interior whipped up by designer Olvia Demetriou of HapstackDemetriou+. The light fixtures suggest champagne bubbles, the floors are paved with stone or tiles that look like white oak, the ceiling is coffered, and the seating โ plush red chairs, cinnamon-colored booths with their own sound systems โ is all about your comfort. El Hage says he plans to dim the lights and use blackout shades for future brunch service. Already, a DJ emerges on Friday and Saturday nights, when the owner hopes โAfter Darkโ catches nightcappers.
Is now a proper moment to talk about luxury dining? The times are some of the most sobering I can remember in the past 25 years, what with wage hikes, the federal takeover of DC police and ICE crackdowns on immigrants. I point this out to say the word โrestaurantโ comes from a French verb that means โto restoreโ and that eating establishments are, good times and bad, the backdrop to many of our lives โ indeed, some of them make life more worth living. Barbouzard aspires to help light the way.
Looking forward to sharing this experience with you!

Greenbelt International Folk Dancers
Friday night Greenbelt International Folk Dancing has gone "virtual".
As we all practice good social distancing, many in our folk dance community are feeling the absence of our usually scheduled local dances. In response, please join us for the Greenbelt Virtual Folk Dance Session.
Letโs keep dancing!
โข Connect and dance in our own homes
โข Watch hosts leading familiar dances
โข See each other; listen and dance to our favorites
How: We will be using the ZOOM video conferencing app to share music and live videos of the leaders and each other. This can be used on a desktop, laptop, or smartphone.
What to Expect: Your hosts are Linda Mansdorf, Vita Hollander, Ben Hole, and John Robinson. Collectively they will play 25-30 dances, which should approximate the number of dances normally done on a Friday night in-person event. The hosts will do a quick teaching or demonstration of the steps to some of the dances that may be less familiar to you or just as a refresher, but the session is not designed as a workshop, so the majority of the evening will be spent playing dances that many of us already know and love to do.
How To Join Us: Each week we will send an email with the Zoom Meeting link ID. Make sure John Robinson knows you would like to receive this email with the link. John's email address for Info: j_srobinson@verizon.net.

Astra Rooftop
Hello everyone!
For our first dinner together, weโre keeping things low-key and casual. Take a look at the menu and let us know what you think we want this to be easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.
Quick housekeeping note: many restaurants require most of the party to be present before seating. No-shows impact the entire group, so if someone repeatedly commits and doesnโt show more than once, weโll have to remove you from future dinners to keep things fair and smooth for everyone.
Looking forward to a great night and even better conversations ๐ฝ๏ธโจ
