Good morning, Washington. The couple to your right wasn’t the only one having a romantic evening: the Obamas found their way to Johnny Monis’ Komi last night in the latest installment of their Friday night date series. NBCWashington.com has the video of the Prez and the first lady making their way out of the restaurant to cheers, as the news that the Obamas were dining on 17th Street obviously created quite a buzz on what is already a busy stretch of pavement on Friday nights. Of course, whenever Obama makes his way to experience culture in D.C., it’s always fun to parse through the national reactions. For instance, the White House pool report dubbed Komi as “modern food,” and chose to describe the much-lauded eatery as “reportedly very expensive” — with a tasting menu starting at $90, not technically inaccurate. But probably not out of reach for a guy who makes $400,000 a year. Did any of you reroute your Friday night plans to try and among the throngcatch a glimpse?

In other news this morning:

>> At the Bog, Dan Steinberg goes straight to the source to glean the complete oral history of the Nationals’ highest post-game honor, the Silver Elvis Wig.

>> The GW Hatchet has the details on a rescue of a man who fell off a fifty foot embankment into Rock Creek near 2700 Virginia Avenue NW, complete with a quote from an onlooking Colonial alum who said “It’s a waste of manpower for one person.” (Someone obviously doesn’t believe in karma.)

>> Heading out to Dulles to catch a flight today? If you see smoke and emergency vehicles huddling around the terminal, don’t worry — it’s just a drill. No delays in normal airport operations are expected.
