J did have a couple of beers though. A bit on the expensive side, but I think it’s pretty normal for DC. Service was good, our waitress was super nice and accommodating. The crowd here is nice and varied. If I lived in DC, I’d definitely frequent this joint!

Whose bright idea was it to go to DC during the cherry blossom festival? It seems preposterous that anyone would think up such an idea. It was madness, I tell you, madness! The traffic! The billions of camera-toting tourists! The lines to even get onto the escalators to take you down to the metro station! All to see some trees that we could have actually seen at home. But really, despite the maddening crowds, it was fun to play tourist for a weekend. And the cherry blossoms themselves, in addition to being very pretty, have a pretty interesting historical and cultural significance. It’s all about the ephemera people. And that’s something we all need to be aware of.

Meat on a stick and greasy ass noodles. For when you’re hungry and have been walking around all day, it totally hits the spot. The chicken could have had more flavor (I saw them slathering on some teriyaki type liquid on em but I couldn’t really taste any of that), but it was still good, even if simple. The noodles were good too, super greasy, just enough flavor. I love me some street food!
