Inside Bar Angie, the West End’s Stylish New Ode to New York | Eater DC
"A year-old Dupont Greek restaurant has solidified itself as the city's Greek hot spot and a perennially packed, see-and-be-seen destination. The group’s flagship energy was on full display when it was chosen as the late-night venue to honor record-breaking NHL player Alexander Ovechkin: his wife called during the third period to buy out the space, the team scrambled to produce an "895" cake and a special five-course menu, and pre-existing Sunday reservations were canceled (Ragonese says, "We gave them [future] gift cards and told them not to come, but not why," to keep details from the press). The man of honor was joined by about 100 friends, current and former teammates, wives, and coaches; T.J. Oshie jumped on the bar to give a congratulatory speech, Ovechkin briefly moonlighted as a DJ, a rowdy napkin toss was part of the festivities, and the party rolled well past 3 a.m. "We were glad to be a little part of history," says Ragonese." - Tierney Plumb
