Waiting for Chloe Get in Line- April 22, 2005 WAITING TO get into the white-hot Chloe (2473 18th St. NW; 202-265-6592) on a Saturday night is like waiting for Godot. The beleaguered doorman-cum-bouncer has announced several times that the club is full, and because it's after midnight, he's not sure if anyone else will get in. Well, maybe. Hard to say how long it might take.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A34100-2005Apr7.html?nav=rss_style/columns/n...

IndeBleu Puts Itself On the Map- April 22, 2005 WHEN YOU STROLL into the austere modern bar at IndeBleu (707 G St. NW; 202-333-2538), look on the white granite counter for a glossy orange brochure that resembles a tourist's pocket guide to downtown attractions. Unfolded, the familiar image of a Metro map serves as a cocktail menu, with a Lycheetini (vodka and fresh lychee juice) replacing Franconia-Springfield on the "Martini Line," and a blackberry mojito (imagine the minty Cuban favorite muddled with fresh blackberries) on the outer...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A62996-2005Mar24.html?nav=rss_style/columns/...
