RSS FeedCompetition For Sushi-Go-Round
What comes around goes around and that is certainly true if you are a fan of conveyor belt or kaiten sushi restaurants. Gallery Place’s very own Sushi-Go-Round now has conveyor belt competition in the form of Wasabi on Farragut Square (908 17th St, NW). The quiet, intimate vibe at Wasabi is reinforced by the smaller interior of the restaurant space and the sushi is fresh and imaginative; take out is available from the refrigerated cases found near the entrance. Also, drink prices are reduced daily during happy hour. The down side? Wasabi isn’t open on weekends.
Let The Sunshine In
Brian writes in to let us know that Hollywood Tans (625 D St, NW) is now open. If you need some rays and color going into the winter, then this is the place to be. Instant tans are available at this location.
