The simple pleasure of getting out of Hick's Ville, Virginia was enough. Today I hopped into the car with my Yorkie, Pogi. I-66. E Street. 20th Street. Voila. My Gay Positioning System worked. I am amongst the gay once again. (No, it's not that kind of Gay Positioning System). Again, I love seeing HRC stickers, well-dressed men, no farmer's tans, over-sized sunglasses, women in board shorts with cool haircuts, many many little cafes, etc. Even the Church of Scientology makes me smile.
The past three times I've gone into the city, I've dined at one place, Raku. Yes, it's Asian fusion. I can't help myself. I love a Sapporo and / or Kiri Ichiban.
What I can't do without is their Crispy Calamari. Whenever I see this on a menu, it's a must-eat. Dipped in the Sweet Thai Chili Sauce. Yum.Price: $5.95
Another Raku staple is their Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll. Crunchy? What? I still don't know what it is that they put in it to add a little crunch. Complimented by delish Tuna, yum. You know me, gotta love the tuna. Price: $5.50
Today I had a scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream. I guess we didn't feel adventurous enough to try the Croissant Pudding with Ginger Ice Cream. It sounds weird, but it looks good now I've scoured the internet for anything and everything about this restaurant.For example, the chef traveled around South East Asia for a year or so before creating the menu. Traveling well spent, I say. As well as my money. They're also extremely dog-friendly. The waiter brought Pogi a bowl of water filled with ice on a humid day. It looked so refreshing that I almost dipped my nose in it. We got excellent service because he also kept coming out to play with the dog. I didn't mind. I got excellent service. Very attentive. My Pogi deserves that.
