Shisha and kabobs and Mediterranean entertainment. Sounds like it should have been in Falls Church.

They already have "Meat in a Box" (LOL!)

But I hear there's a new sushi place right across the street. That's so exciting for them.

I just want a nice late night meal and a mattress

Or Vienna...

Rose Kabob
Al Nakheel
Istanbul Blue
Beruit Café

And, if I'm not mistaken, you can even get a kabob or two at Zoe's Kitchen.

I guess kabobs and mattresses go hand in hand!

I believe you are talking about the one on the same side of the street that is getting rave reviews from diners and critics alike - Takumi.

The owner/chef honed his skills at the acclaimed Kaz Sushi Bistro downtown. As it's downtown, most outside the beltway fatties probably haven't heard of it, let alone had the pleasure of dining at what is considered one of DC's best Japanese restaurants.

I haven't been downtown in almost 2 decades. Taking my Suburban down there is a nightmare.

Please! There are sushi, kabob, and pho places all over. It's no big deal to have a new one open except to people in Falls Church. I nave just been munching on some Spicy Tuna Roll here. It's from the Fresh Market in Vienna. You know where that it is, right? From my place, we just zip across Electric Avenue to get there.

Can't blame you at all for trying to get as far away from Falls Church as possible when dining out. The place quite literally has nothing to offer. Too bad there's not a Water Taxi to get you where you want to go.

There are all kinds of restaurants all over. That's what happens when you live in a metropolitan area of over 5 million people. Surprised you haven't figured that out yet.

The difference is, of course, quality. While there might be plenty of restaurants around, they differ in quality. However, your standards are probably a bit below the average diner's, so you might not know the difference.

> It's no big deal to have a new one open

Actually, it is people from all over that have been raving about Takumi - even those in Vienna.

Wonderful for you.

In Vienna and in many many other locales up and down the east coast.

I dine out all over. In Falls Church and many many other places. Too bad Markie's dad doesn't let you broaden your horizons beyond the mundane fare you seem to enjoy. Perhaps he can't really afford a nice meal downtown from time to time. That would explain why you live in such a run down area. Although, something tells me you're more interested in quantity than quality when it comes to restaurants.

I'm about to go down to Joes place and have the lunch buffet special. Falls Church wishes it could have such a fine upscale buffet.

Wow! Spicy tuna rolls around 11 and headed to an all you can eat pizza and pasta buffet a bit after 12.

I think it's safe to say Markie's mom definitely does NOT got it goin' on!

It is a largely residential street with a large financial institution at one end of it and a 7-11 at the other end. Congrats, you can frequent a 7-11 and a credit union by traversing it. I'm sure you get your fill of big bites, nachos, pizza and HELOCs.

No, if I had, I'd be more than likely to live in Vienna or even worse, off of Cedar in some nondescript CDP.

The city of Alexandria is in NoVa and from its shores I can board the aforementioned water taxi.

Electric Avenue is a route that residents in the area of Cedar Lane and Gallows Road regularly use to reach the shopping and dining delights of downtown Vienna. Some beyond stupid google-mapper person once suggested that we all needed to go over to Park Street in order to complete a simple journey to Anita's. He even claimed that "major roadwork" was blocking access to Vienna off of Electric Avenue. We've been laughing at that hapless bumbler ever since.

> > Meanwhile, no part of the Potomac River
> > is in NoVa. simple
> Who said it was?

well, the original reference was to having a Water Taxi system within NoVa, not on the Potomac River. It was part of laughing at the same beyond stupid person, first for his phony claim of having used a defunct Water Taxi service to get from LaGUardia Airport into downtown Manhattan, and second for his not realizing that NoVa is increasingly becoming an upscale retirement destination. We laugh at him for those reasons as well. We're sure there are more such things to come as well.

You may be confused there. According to US Census reports, both Vienna and Dunn Loring have higher median household incomes than Falls Church City. Speaking for myself, I don't understand why anyone would live there. It's within easy reach of where I live, but it's a worn-out dump. I almost never go there. There is never an actual reason to.

There never was a "track." No one in the general population has ever been to Babalu or is ever likely to go. Hence the similarity to Falls Church City.

I actually know the owners from previous business dealings.

Place used to be called Alf Layla before it was sold to them.

They are extremely cheap and do some shady bar business tricks, even to the people that they know and came in there to attempt to support their business. Served our entire table top-shelf when rail was asked for...

The bill had multiple errors - on purpose. Extra drinks were rung up. A woman's dished was still billed after it was sent back for being disgusting.

That is just the tip of it. Will never go back. There are hundreds of the same, shitty Middle Eastern restaurants in the area and greater Northern VA.

Haven't been there yet, and given the location and hole-in-the-wall nature of the place, I'm not likely to go soon either. After all, a sushi bar is a niche sort of eatery with limited appeal, and "acclaimed" emporiums can be found all over the place. Still, I did do a quick check through their on-line menu. I was surprised to find 8-10 scallop dishes listed, as I'd recently been told by some online expert or other that scallop season was long past. Perhaps Takumi is serving frozen blobs. Or perhaps this online person did not know what he was talking about. That, I think, is a distinct possibility.

There are now twice as many mattress stores per square mile in Falls Church City as there are in Vienna. On a per capita basis, FCC has one mattress store for every 4,502 inhabitants while Vienna has but one for every 5,229 inhabitants.

Income was not the question, rather it was education. Can you not keep track of your own inane stupidity? Is the blubber between your ears interfering with your brain synapses?


Falls Church
Bachelor's degree or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013 74.4%
High school graduate or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013 97.3%

Vienna
Bachelor's degree or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013 64.8%
High school graduate or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013 92.0%

Dunn Loring
Bachelor's degree or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013 70.5%
High school graduate or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013 93.6%

So, what you can conclude from the numbers above is that among the three locales you listed, you are least likely to be considered educated in Vienna and most likely to be considered educated in Falls Church with Dunn Loring stuck somewhere in the middle.


Oh, and for shits and giggles...

Falls Church
Median value of owner-occupied housing units, 2009-2013 $660,900

Dunn Loring
Median value of owner-occupied housing units, 2009-2013 $650,400

Vienna
Median value of owner-occupied housing units, 2009-2013 $602,100

Income is associated with education. And either way, no one wants to live, shop, dine, or even drive through Falls Church. It is a dirty and decaying wasteland.

So you are saying that the tiny-lot, run-down housing stock in Fall Church City is WAY WAY WAY overpriced? Yeah, that's what everybody thinks. This is why only dopes and developers buy or live there. And even they don't shop or dine there.

Actually education is associated with education. When deciding educational attainment level no truer test exists than looking at actual educational attainment level. In that regard, Vienna and Dunn Loring lag behind Falls Church. That's the fact. Do you deny it?

Face it, you got your fat ass splattered against the wall.

I am saying it is worth more than your rundown split level off of Cedar. I am saying you are butthurt and envious because you can't afford it. You were priced out long ago and have yet to recover.

Overpriced is a code word underfunded people use when they can't afford something.

Tell me about it! And you know, Dunn Loring and Falls Church City are each about two square miles, but they've jammed and crammed about an extra 5,000 people into their place. And of course, their median household income is about $114K versus our $205K. There's just no comparison between the two places at this point. We just kick their butt.

That's really the bottom line. Your dollar simply gets you much, much more of everything when you stay away from Falls Church. More land, nicer housing, better shopping and dining. If you're in Falls Church, you can pretty much count on everything being better and yet cheaper someplace else.

If you're so smart, why don't you make more money? Or live someplace nicer?

No, it's not actually WORTH more, it merely COSTS more because in Falls Church, you have to outbid all the developers waiting to tear it all down and put some 8-story monstrosity on the land instead. This in some vain hope of being able one day to catch up to Ballston, Tysons, Halstead Square, or the Mosaic District.

You may want to check those median household income data again.

"Overpriced" is a code word for "You got screwed." You could have had much more for less, but you dropped that ball like a hot potato. Smarter people didn't.

Hey cunny, when you understand basic zoning laws then maybe you can come to the grown up table and have a conversation. You see, bitty, you just can't buy a SFH in an R1 zone and put up an 8 story building. That's just not how it works. Until you figure that you, please stay in your run down split level, mmmkay?

Perhaps not. So here are the current US Census Quick Facts numbers. Try to argue with these...

Median household income (in 2014 dollars), 2010-2014

Falls Church City -- $120,500
Dunn Loring CDP -- $147,875

Still a big, big win for Barbara and me!

So, Babs lied. Thanks for clearing that up!

Seems to me that the ladies have posted multiple reputable sources confirming that the median household income in their Dunn Loring area F-A-R exceeds that in Falls Church City. The actual numbers may of course vary from time to time and from source to source, but as hurtful to some as it might be, the overall point seems to be about as plain as day. Which is probably why no one is trying to refute it.

Umm no, Babs flat out lied and Markie's Mom even confirmed that fact.

Let's face it -- one accurately quoted Wikipedia, and the other accurately quoted Census Quick Facts. Both sources point out that median household income is MUCH HIGHER in Dunn Loring than in Falls Church City. It's nothing new, but that's the only take-away here.

Get over yourself. It's a tiny little sushi bar. And I suppose you'd be shocked to learn then that Mr. B and I dined with friends in exotic downtown DC just last night. Acqua Al 2 (supposedly Florentine) on Capitol Hill across the street from Eastern Market. Not really much in comparison to what we have out here in the Tysons/Vienna/Mosaic area, but the gnocchi in gorgonzola cream sauce were nice, and while the filet in a blueberry reduction sounded a little odd, it was surprisingly good. Still, I doubt that we'll ever go back. It just wasn't good enough to deserve a second trip.

Babalu!!!

Yes yes, it is. And Maple Avenue is an actual high quality restaurant, not just some over-hyped and over-glorified sushi bar. Better make your reservations early if you want to enjoy an actual meal at MAR.

> Well, was it downtown or Capitol Hill? Make up your mind.

Fumble!!! The term "downtown" was used BY YOU with reference to Kaz Sushi Bistro, which is located in Foggy Bottom at 19th and I Streets, NW. That's many, many blocks away from the actual neighborhood known as "Downtown," all of which is located on the other side of the White House.

Well, I think I would have come up with a more impressive place had I been pretending. And as it was, the place was not actually bad, and we did have a good time. But it wasn't a good enough place to want to go back to. But I see you've not eaten at or even heard of Acqua Al 2. So much for your phony claims to any sort of downtown eatery cred!

Though I may well seem upscale to you, I don't claim or expect to be seen as highfalutin at all. I do claim to be able to get over to Vienna quite easily by traveling across Electric Avenue, and also that the median household income in Dunn Loring is quite a bit higher than over in that dump you seem to be so fond of. I don't think you'll be making any headway against either of those claims any time soon.

FYI, the good people of Dunn Loring have heard of both the Super Bowl and Eddy Grant. Likely long before many of you, in fact.

Hmm. Open table seems to support my assertion.

Even Kaz says they seat 74. So, I was one off. I can admit to that minor mistake, too bad you can't admit your lies.

KAZ Sushi Bistro in downtown Washington D.C. Located near the White House, The World Bank and George Washington University, the 74 seat sushi haven has immediately.

Oh look, they are even downtown!

Oh, so sorry, you should have Googled harder. That is a downtown address as it is ABOVE Penn Ave. So sorry, you lose. See above on how Kaz describes their location look at a map of Kaz.

Or hell, let's use your favorite - Google!

Pennsylvania Avenue doesn't play the role you have imagined for it, but if it did and things above it were "downtown", what would things below it be?

The actual "Downtown" neighborhood in DC is roughly 7th Street to 11th Street from Pennsylvania Ave. to Mt. Vernon Square. You simply forgot how you had used the term with respect to Kaz and are now babbling away in an attempt to cover up for that. It's not working.

Get over yourself. It's a tiny little sushi bar.



So, you see, Kaz is the appropriate antecedent. You fucked up on this one too. Big surprise.

Irrelevant as we are talking about an address above it.

No, little boy. Kaz Sushi Bistro got into the conversation only because you felt some desperate need to drum up cred for Jay Yu, principal of tiny little 30-seat Takumi, the place you seem to see as a savior of the dreadful restaurant scene in Falls Church City. He formerly worked at Kaz, but obviously Kaz itself plays no role at all in Falls Church City and was hence NOT the appropriate antecedent. This was just another of your desperate attempts to cover up your mistakes.

Further, you originally used the term "downtown" to distinguish "downtown" restaurants and diners from those out in the suburbs, and particularly those outside the Beltway. That's a perfectly good use of the word, but you forgot that you had used it, and when the "downtown" nature of Acqua Al 2 (a place you had never even heard of) was later noted, you tried to shift over into DC neighborhood names, even though you did not know the historical boundaries of the actual "Downtown" neighborhood and hence stumbled into use of a touristy colloquial term for "place with lots of office buildings."

By the way, I suggested earlier that Kaz Sushi Bistro at 1915 I Street would be in Foggy Bottom due to my recollection that the Foggy Bottom Metro station was at 23rd and I Streets. It is, but Kaz itself is actually considered part of ANC-2B, which is the Dupont Circle ANC.

Better go study up on your downtown restaurants, Dusty. No telling when Mr. B and I might dine down there again.

No. I am sorry your reading comprehension skills are piss poor. Takumi was not even mentioned in the post your responded to. In fact, you were being insulted for not having the wherewithal or palate to have enjoyed Kaz. It was all about Kaz. The conversation had long shifted from Takumi.

Kaz is downtown. The maps show it as such. You are just too stupid to realize it.

An Advisory Neighborhood Commission is not just that section of DC. For instance, ANC 2E contains Georgetown, but it is not just Georgetown. Once again, you fucked up.

It will be exactly the same amount of times up until now - 0.

And you didn't invite ME? That's terrible! Actually, glad you had a good time, even if the place wasn't quite up to our local standards. We're kind of spoiled, after all. One of the neat things about our area is that there are so many consistently good places to eat nearby. You can count on them time after time after time. I suppose some would say the same thing about Meat in a Box, but that would be kind of a different thing, in a much yuckier sort of way. LOL!

Yeah, and you know for years, I've been telling people that my husband works downtown. Sometimes he even tells people that himself. And now, after all this time, it turns out that he doesn't work downtown at all. This is very disturbing. I'm just shocked! I'm not sure at all how he's going to react to this news. I better find a way to break it to him gently.

LOL! You even quoted "the acclaimed Kaz Sushi Bistro downtow." What a dumbass!

Care to post the next sentence after the one you quoted?

"As it's downtown, most outside the beltway fatties probably haven't heard of it, let alone had the pleasure of dining at what is considered one of DC's best Japanese restaurants."

You then responded with:

"Get over yourself. It's a tiny little sushi bar."

You then went on to talk about your dining experience downtown (which actually wasn't downtown like Kaz is).

The girls have won decisively here again. There is no question that Takumi was the point, that it is widely reported to seat about 30 people, or that downtown referred to the city as opposed to the suburbs.

The "girls" = you = asshole.

Only a complete pussy posts as a woman to prop up his feeble ass internet posts. It's a sure sign that YOU lost.

The girls have you thoroughly buffaloed.

He likes to think of himself as a woman.

:) Maybe if we knew each other in real life! Actually, we should probably meet up at Anita's sometime and compare notes. You could go across Electric while I go down to Park Street, and we can see who gets there first. LOL!

Yes, it was nice enough, but it just didn't stand out. No pop.

True even for little Mosaic places like Matchbox or Ted's Bulletin. No cutting edge dining is going on there, but they are consistently comfy places to go have a nice meal without having to do much about getting there.

I'll take your word! I wouldn't know myself!

LOL! I hope you were able to get past the trauma alright.

You can think of yourself as having had circles run around you by two women and a retired dog walker. I'm sure he was good at in his day though.

Drove by and the place is dark and locked up. Checked Yelp and one comment says closed three weeks ago by the Sheriff. No surprise, it was loud and the police were often called. I heard there were fights.
