I have posted details on the wiki for an Arrivals Dinner featuring 
Lebanese cuisine at a venue located close by the USPTO Conference Center.

I encourage you to sign up on the Wiki here:

https://github.com/dcbpw/tpc-2017-dc/wiki/Arrivals-Dinner#attendees

... so that we can give the restaurant an accurate head count as early 
as possible.

(And while you're visiting the Wiki, feel free to let us know when 
you'll be arriving in town -- 
https://github.com/dcbpw/tpc-2017-dc/wiki/Arrivals-and-Departures#arrivals 
-- and where you'll be staying -- 
https://github.com/dcbpw/tpc-2017-dc/wiki/Where-People-Are-Staying)

Want a more vegetarian-focused dinner?  Consult the Alt-Arrival-Dinner page.

Hope to see a lot of new and old faces at the Arrivals Dinner ... now a 
mere 17 days away!

Thank you very much.
