Missed Connections

Most Missed: Washington, D.C.

When we first directed our attention to Washington DC's Missed Connections on Craigslist, we were half expecting the standard disclaimer page to allow us to filter out by party affiliation -- m/w4d or m/w4r. (It's okay, Independents, you can read both pages!) That isn't the case, proving that perhaps the Capitol's shadow isn't as long as we thought. Looking for someone who's lobbying for you? Try these spots:

Toledo Lounge
2435 18th St. NW -- This dive in the trendy Adams Morgan neighborhood offers a $15 dinner for two on Sundays -- half-price burger night for your cheap date. Who cares if it's "grungy, dank, shoddy and poorly decorated?"

Wonderland Ballroom
1101 Kenyon St. NW -- Its website may be comically outdated -- "see why 2005 is turning out to be the year of the rabbit!" -- but this Columbia Heights sports bar is a site for making connections, whether you're an m4m drinking the politically incorrect Carbombs or a w4m who made out with "Mr. Class of '94." And don't forget Baby Happy Hour on Wednesdays, a smoke-free oasis for hipster parents and their cool kids.

Archa Thai
2311 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA -- Cute boys abound at this Zagat-rated restaurant with a full bar -- and in case you meet him in line, there's takeout available.
