New Sichuan Restaurant in Midtown

The popular and most excellent Sichuan Gourmet at 25 W. 39th St. in Midtown has competition... across the street, no less. I don't get what it is with 39th St., but it now has two excellent Sichuan places. (One block south on 38th there are two excellent places, Cultures, a coffee shop run by some coffee geniuses from Sydney and Baraca, a kosher pita place, so there have been some definite improvements in an area not exactly known for its cuisine.)

Five Guys

On Sunday, Angela and I wandered down to Old Town Alexandria. Among other adventures, I had my first taste of a Five Guys burger. Five Guys, for those who don't know, is a chain of no-frills burger places that started in the D.C. area and with 400 or so locations is now spread across half the country.

I'd heard of Five Guys mostly because of people raving about it on the web. Also, Obama likes it.
