Steakhouse [Forced] To Close, Ending Tradition For Wounded War Vets D.C. Channel 9 WUSA ^ \| 4/14/06 \| Doug Buchanan freerepublic.com A two-year tradition for wounded war vets is about to go by the wayside. A downtown DC steak house that’s catered to injured troops every Friday night is about to close. Fran O’Brien’s landlord [Hilton] is forcing out the steakhouse of the same name. “We're not feeling very good about leaving and especially the Friday night dinner,” O’Brien said. With the restaurant soon to close, so too will go a hang-out spot that troops have been able to call home while healing, if only for a few hours every week. In a statement from Hilton hotels, a spokesperson writes: "this is a business decision whereby Hilton Hotels is exploring several options to utilize this space." But the decision impacts more than just the business that's getting the boot. A Hilton hotel spokesperson say they are -- on some level -- hoping to keep the Friday night alive without Fran O’Brien’s.
