I would also add Peyote Cafe in Adams Morgan.

Also Rock Creek in Bethesda
Jandara in Tenley Circle
Whatever the Vietnamese place was called down on Connecticut by the Marrriott Wardman Park
And finally, not a restaurant, but The Butlers delivery service. Anybody else remember them from the late 90s? That's how we first got hooked on the Vietnamese place!

The fact that San Marco closed, while Pasta Mia is still around is all the evidence one needs that there is no benevolent God.


hey Pasta mia was/is way better than San Marco!!! real Italian food. San Marco the owner was Italian too but he did not do the cooking.

Sesto Senso. I learned the Macarena there. LMAO.


is 18th St Lounge still there?



yeap, 18th street Lounge is still there and happening. Sesto Senso was THA place to get the Euro Trash/latin feel. Not in a bad way, it was fun while it lasted.
I miss Japan Inn on Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown.

Wow. I apparently just crawled out from under my rock. Squint. Blink. Blink.

Sesto Senso closed? There was a White Castle in DC? Mongolian BBQ in Bethesda closed (not that it was good)? Kavanoughs too?

I miss Maggie's. I, like every Upper NW and Bethesda native born in the 70s, learned to drink there at the ripe old age of 15.

I mourned the recent loss of Foong Lin, but it finally reopened at the old Moongate location.

Roy Rogers on River, RIP.

Hot Shoppes, Bethesda, RIP.

Shakeys, you too, bro.

China Villiage on Bethesda ave? Anyone remember that gem of MSG and poo poo platters?

This is veering too far into "I grew up here and I remember" territory.

The River Club

Coco Loco

What was the name of that natural food restaurant on the corner of Connecticut and Florida?

Maggie's!

That was an awesome drinking place at 16.

The same family owns Del Ray Pizzeria, and they serve frickles! They are not on the menu, but they always have them.
