CalvertCrew, Ray's is about $7.50 for a meal if you get it to go with no drink. You want fancy cheese? Then you gonna pay more.

I would say that is comparable with Five Guys and other places. Considering the quality of the meat at Ray's, it's a steal.

I don't eat at Five Guys anymore because Ray's burgers are about 10x better.

Ray's burgers/steaks is too expensive to be cheap eats and not good enough to be considered top eats, give me a five guys/the prime rib instead.

Playing the race card on Adam's Morgan would be ignoring the spike in crime that hits every summer when school is out and the local kids are out causing trouble. This usually comes in the form of assault/ armed robbery / occasional homicide.

Walk around alone with a UVA T-shirt/flipflops on at 3am-4am Saturday/Sunday morning and you'll find out what I'm talking about.

You can go there any other time and it's a charming neighborhood.

I'm sure that when Mr. Landrum goes to AdMo without smelling piss, watching gridlocked traffic and dodging fighting preppies that he might seriously consider opening a restaurant there. Until then I'm sure we could all find a better location for the next Ray's incarnation.

Mr. Landrum please call me at 202-997-0783. I'd be happy to tell you all about what the Adams Morgan Partnership Business Improvement District (AMPBID) is doing to keep Adams Morgan safe and clean to the tune of close to $450,000 a year. Like I told the Washington Business Journal...we'd love to have Ray's here. We are working hard to earn his trust.

sanitation? lets be real 18th st is hardly bourbon street. and the city is undertaking a streetscape improvement project as we speak. besides the weekend riff raff adams morgan IS a community oriented neighborhood. one that im sure would support a burger joint like rays quite handsomely during the work week.

MLandrum. Why is parking a concern. I don't think anyone has any trouble getting to adams morgan given all the foot traffic. This is a city. we walk, bike, bus, and metro places.
