I was unable to connect with Mark, "Red", or DaGoddess this trip. Times just didn't work out. I did find this lovely Greek place, Athena Market Tarvena, on F Street. The food was good enough that after the tripokita, little cheese filler triangles of filo dough, and the sampler plate of stuffed grape leaves, lamp chops, and three other dishes the first night I went back.  I took Derrick, a relocated Denver-ite from John's lab, there for dinner. Niether he nor his friends would tried the grilled octopi with me. That was okay as it left more of them for me. Cooked with spices, olive oil, and loads of gralic over charcoal, they were probably the best octopi I've had. Dinner was the braised lamb shank over pasta, the beverage was ouzo over ice, and dessert was a collection of Greek cookies with coffee. It's a warm friendly place with the owner of 32 years, Mary, still working the floor.  Definitely a place to stop when in town. I may go back for lunch today...
