The store is attractive but the clothing is not. That is, unless you enjoy looking like a washed-up pop star, stripper or a cougar. They have a nack for taking fairly sensible clothing and ruining it with bedazzled slang...often located on the ass or chest.
Not sure how long this store will make it in Gtown as anything worth buying from their line can be found down the street at CO-OP.

I began purchasing their pricey pieces in NYC and was delighted to see their stores pop up in DC over the past year. My only beef is selection.
"Lulu, if you can hear me...I need more selection in DC. Black and grey are not going to cut it. We aren't all lawyers in DC. Send us some color and new styles."
You can't expect Solas to import chic guests from exotic cities just to disguise your geo-social surroundings. That said, the crowd was fine - a nice mix of ages, races and gender.
Now to the food!
The food was great - the sweet potato gnocchi was stellar, mojitos delicious and the entrees were all well above average. Our server was thoughtful and attentive without hovering and the ambiance was comfortable yet elegant.
Don't go there with a chip on your shoulder or an inferiority complex and I assure you that you'll have a nice time. Have dinner first and you'll enjoy an inventive and delicious meal.

I have never felt so strongly about a financial institution - banking in general is not one of my favorite things to do but I LOVE PNC BANK!!!
They are friendly, fast and better yet - they refund all ATM fees from using non-PNC ATMs. I can't tell you how many hours I wasted calling Bank of America or Wachovia to argue about charges or because they screwed something up...eh hem, like freezing my business account without notice because my branch didn't submit my articles of incorporation to BOA corporate... I opened it in person - no joke!
Anyhow, I met Eddie Sandhu (I am plugging him specifically because he rocks) and have never looked back. Eddie hooked me up with an entire network of people (non-PNC) that now keep my books, do my payroll, pay bills etc. This enables me to focus on my work and growing my business while Eddie, my bookkeeper extraordinaire Randi Dutch and a few more folks handle the stuff I hate - taxes, finances, etc.
Anyhow, give Eddie a call - he set up personalaccounts for three of my employees in addition to me and my biz. No need for disclosure here - I really don't know him outside of work but when you meet people who go above and beyond their job to help you, they deserve a hat tip.
PNC is awesome! Eddie is fab! Go bank it up!

And 5 minutes later...smiling delivery guy and breakfast is served.
Uh, hi! Delivery please? I'll have a six pack of miller lites, some hummus, a water and some chips.

Andy's is friendly, dependable and efficient. Definitely a fan.

Cafe Habana
Categories: Latin American, Cuban
Neighborhood: Nolita
I never understood it until my first trip to Cafe Habana a few years ago. Apparently, I misunderstood the lyrics as the song is clearly about this restaurant...
You see, Jimmy wasn't cracking corn. He was addicted to "crack corn" from Cafe Habana. Like Jimmy, I too am addicted to Habana's "crack corn." I get a hit every single time I'm in New York and though the high is just as good at each visit, it's never enough to satisfy my bottomless craving for crack corn.
While you are there, try a mojito and the Cuban sandwich - YUM!!!!
BEWARE of the crack corn - it only takes one bite off the cob to get hooked for life.
It is not cheap but it is worth the splurge. I have been to both locations and was extremely pleased both times. If you go to the Trump Tower location, order your food in the upstairs lounge...more comfortable and fun than the actual tables.

I will say that their business is great for Millennium and Good Wood . Every time I go to Rckndy, I leave thinking about the much more quality and unique (vintage, antique, industrial or mod) stuff I could find across the street. Then I go to GW and Millennium and drop serious cash. In fact, its Rckndy's fault I almost bought a $2K + Eames table and chairs at Millennium today and did buy a schweet piece of stained glass from GW.

Banana Leaves Asian Restaurant & Sushi Bar
Category: Asian Fusion
I can't endorse the rest of the menu because every time I stray from the pleasure pockets (as I like to call them), I find it mediocre at best -leading me right back to rangoons.
Drunken noodle and pad thai are acceptable but not worth a special trip. If they renamed their restaurant "Rangoonpalooza Palace" or Rangoon Run" and only served rangoons, I'd give them a five.
How's that for dangling a carrot, er, a banana?
Because I lived with him, I know that any free second of Dr. Dornic's life - outside of being a husband and father of three, was and is dedicated to ophthalmology, research and continuing education. I have never met anyone more passionate about their profession than my father. He lives, breathes and loves being a doctor and cares for his patients more than any doctor I've ever seen.
It should speak volumes that I live 5 hours aways and have great vision insurance but would NEVER see another OD or MD for my eye care. Many of my friends from Raleigh and as far as New York City feel the same way - they all agree that he is worth the wait and many of them travel home with me just to get their vision check-ups and/or LASIK.
Visit him in Cary or Smithfield - I can guarantee you will never want to "see" a different ophthalmologist after seeing my father.
