^^^or maybe Addie's (also owned by the Blacks). It's on Rockville Pike just north of Strathmore. (A mile or so from Black Market Bistro)

Another vote for Black Market Bistro.

Definitely drive to Black Market Bistro! Make a reservation too, just in case.

Blacks. The other ones are not very good

Black Market is awesome.

Within walking distance and on the very casual side, two suggestions near the Johnson's Flower Market:

Sub-Urban Trading Company:

I should add that this will be a kid-free excursion!

My mom is coming to visit, and I'm planning to take her to Kensington's Antique Row. I've never been there myself, so any lunch suggestions would be welcome. I'm thinking somewhere nice, but not really expensive. Her only requirements are that it's not sushi and not a national chain (because she can get that near where she lives). Any suggestions for antique shops to make sure to visit would be appreciated too!
