The other day I stopped by Shanghai Tokyo, the new pan-Asian spot at 1376 Park Rd NW for lunch, and generally enjoyed it. It’s certainly not a fine restaurant, but if you want some quick Asian food, this is a good option. They have two separate places to order, one for Japanese fare like sushi,…

Have you seen this cat? Ramona has gone missing and the owners think she might be sick. Keep a look out!

Some sad news for taco fans: Three Salsas, the takeout Mexican taqueria at 3439 14th Street NW, is now closed. A reader sent in a photo of the storefront, which is covered in plywood and has a for rent sign on it. I was a fan of the spot, they had tasty tacos and were…
