I'm on the "inside the beltway, or bust" train.
I'm both relieved and delighted to see Green Almond Pantry on here.

The problem with that is you lose some of the ethnic enclaves and Metro accessible locations north of the Beltway in Maryland. Wheaton has great Thai and ramen restaurants. The North Bethesda to Rockville corridor is where so many of the good Chinese restaurants are.

Fair. Then let’s establish a different arbitrary border, and stick to it. Way out by Shenandoah, or east to Annapolis?

That’s not reasonable.

Big fan of green almond pantry but their new location can be a pain to get to. They had a great spot in Shaw before the fire.

New location is absolutely the sticking point for most, and why it doesn’t get talked about as much as it did in Shaw. Great for me, since I’m only a few blocks away, but I need them to get busy so they stay open!

We stumbled into the place not too long ago after a walk to Georgetown. Really good, total surprise.

Yeah but then you don't get Inn at Little Washington, i.e. the Washingtonian's pride and joy for like a million years
