Went to ramen place Daikaya last night. Eh its ok, but like with Toki Underground I think its been over-hyped. Also, maybe its just cheapskate me, but I think some suburban pho places (yea I know, different food and nationality) offer better tasting soup at half the price.

still haven't made it to toki underground

My 2 current non-soup faves (though they have good soup too) are the Laotian food at Bangkok Golden in Seven Corners, Falls church near Home Depot (not far from Eden Center) and the Sichuan place a few doors down, Hong Kong Palace.
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 29 January 2014 17:39 (ten years ago) link
can vouch for Bangkok Golden

what I initially wrote off as a honey pig knockoff turned out to be the best korean bbq I've ever had

Will have to try it. Have you had Korean tofu soup at Lighthouse Tofu (which also has a Korean name too I think)? Pretty good.

I've seen it on TCM in the last year...but a restored version in 35mm is damn tempting.

Gonna have to miss today's offering: Saturday at 2:00 p.m., the Gallery presents T-Men followed by Raw Deal, introduced by historian Max Alvarez.

hotel prices that weekend look pretty typical for winter - any time before cherry blossom week is going to be pretty sedate
if anything a lot of people skip town president's day weekend, since many kids have the following week off

I think the below M. Yglesias statement is an exaggeration
Like most people residing in the nation’s capital, I spent a healthy chunk of my weekend binge-watching House of Cards. In my case, I binged all the way from the beginning since I inexplicably missed the first season.

My gf and I did not. Haven't polled the cube sector near me or my family, though no family members have mentioned watching it
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 20:59 (ten years ago) link
I think there's a significant audience in DC and in Maryland that watches Scandal and not House of Cards, so his "most people" comment is not accurate. Plus there are those who aren't watching either
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 16:55 (ten years ago) link
i mean yeah

You can get a room at the Holiday Inn in Alexandria across from Eisenhower Metro for 100 a night but then you'd be in Alexandria.

yeah Arlington is an option tho. "Spring" tourists gonna be disappointed at those bare cherry trees.

Trying not to stay in Arlington, but if I ever do I will visit Lee Marvin's grave.
So I see the Nas symphonic show at the Kennedy Center is sold out! wtf

oops
I'd really like to see the Deller talk -- is the ring auditorium a small room? I can't remember ever being in there.
― a-lo, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 15:50 (ten years ago) link
Isn't it around a 100 people at most? Hirshhorn site says members can reserve spots but others should get there early.
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 16:16 (ten years ago) link
It's only members at the $500+ level who can reserve spots, unfortunately. I'd guess that there won't be a ton of seats for the public.

Morbs you would be more than welcome at our place, except that our place is currently rented out (by a family of 5! In our little house!) until May. After that you always have a place to hang your hat, just say the word!
