[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're going to have to move to Maryland (from Northern Va) in the coming year, so I'm reading this with interest.  Most posters have referenced proximity to places like Costco/Target as the benefits (which they are!), but what about local restaurants? What I love about where we are now is how easy it is to get anything from pupusas to Yemeni food to biryani, Taco Bamba, Korean chicken, etc.  What's the local (not "fancy") restaurant and grocery situation in Kensington? Thanks.[/quote]

Wheaton, which is a 3-5 minute drive, has all the international options you could want. Silver Spring is close by as well and has a lot of good options.[/quote]

I'm one of the PPs who lives a stone's throw from Kensington.  I find the non-American options far better here than in Bethesda.  Ruan Thai (and Nava Thai, and Thai Taste) are all amazing, Moby Dick Sushi is great, Ren's Ramen, Samantha's, all the Ethiopian restaurants in DTSS, Bombay Gaylord, etc.  We don't have the upscale restaurants of Bethesda, but there are decent options for those in DTSS, and honestly, Bethesda is so close from Kensington if you really want them.  But I feel spoiled by the great food options here.

I'm not a huge fan of Safeways in general, so usually go to the Giant at Wheaton mall if I need something I can't get at Costco or through our regular produce delivery.  But those are both close, easy options.  Oh, and there's also JennyCakes, which is a terrific local bakery.  Amazing cakes and other baked goods.  Frankly Pizza is good.  Pacci's...  I could go on :)[/quote]
