Where would Sarah Palin hang in DC?

Scott asks: “Where would Sarah Palin hang out in DC?  Do we even have a shooting range?”

Should there be a MCain/Palin administration [shudder], then Sarah Palin will no doubt need to do some serious searching to find places in DC to make her feel at home.   While we don’t have any shooting ranges that are open to the public in downtown DC, there are quite a few in surrounding areas, including Gilbert Indoor Shooting Range in Rockville which is the largest indoor shooting range on the east coast!

Palin will promptly become a member of the University Club of Washington.  It’s a very old-school elite club at 17/H (which has been allowing women to become members since the 1980’s) where she can enjoy their lounge, dining, networking opportunities, etc, in the comfort of a strict dress code and designated cell phone areas.

For eating out, Palin will likely hit Fuddruckers for their buffalo burgers and other all-American family fare.  And for special occasions she will likely go to Dr. Granville Moore’s for their endless bison options including bison tartare, bison burgers, bison brisket, or bison sirloin.  She might need to bring her own Budwieser though because I don’t know how she’ll do with their extensive Belgian beer list .

For looking good, Palin will likely stay grounded by going to Bubbles on Capitol Hill, but she’ll splurge to keep her eyewear current and designer thanks to the experts at Georgetown Opticians.

Readers, any other recommendations for the Palin crew?

    I definitely have noticed that DC seems to lack things like Applebees or Bob Evans. Not that I’m complaining but there were such staples of my childhood. They are family restaurants. If I were to raise a family in the DC area, its that kind of thing that I’d be looking for.

    There’s a Bob Evans in Oakton, VA at Highways 66 and 123.

    Palin will find fellow former Alaskans at at least two theater companies in town — Arena Stage is run by Artistic Director Molly Smith, founder of Perseverance Theatre Company in Douglas, AK. And the Managing Director of Woolly Mammoth Theatre was Perseverance’s former ManDir, Jeffrey Hermann.

    Personally, I’m hoping that nothing other than the occasional Council of Governors meeting brings her to DC for any reason.
