It's about deal-making complexity. Restaurants are meant to be relaxing, social events (except maybe in Georgetown, Penn Quarter, and Adams Morgan, and then the selection is laughable at best), but rather networking, chit-for-chit exchanges.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, there are one or two restaurants in this town I think are a cut above in terms of creativity and atmosphere. Rice on 14th and R Streets NW and.... Yeah, that's about all I can think of right now.<BR/><BR/>And speaking of Asian food, this town sucks for good Asian food. However, Sushi Ko in Georgetown serves up good sushi. If you haven't tried them out yet, go there. Bee and I go there and we're from the West Coast, as you know, where--outside of Japan--the sushi is unsurpassed and wonderful!<BR/><BR/>As for all the rest of your shopping woes, I hear you, but have zero solutions!J.M.

There's tons to do here but one thing we are sorely lacking is a decent public transportation system. It's only buses here -- no subway -- and the service to the suburbs is terrible, to the point where a car is an absolute necessity.

It's disappointing to me that I don't have a favorite place to eat around here. We don't eat out much, what with the 5 and 2-year olds, but I'm always kinda meh-take-it-or-leave-it when we do eat out. My most favorite place is about 2 hours north of where I live -- a Greek restaurant with hummus that I will actually drive 2 hours just to eat! As for shopping, there's an okay mall here but I enjoy going to the outlet places on the coast.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021149519641295915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-54878151575016685162008-06-19T10:04:00.000-06:002008-06-19T10:04:00.000-06:00Seattle has a lot of good restaurants but there ar...Seattle has a lot of good restaurants but there are very few that I can deem "great" so far.
