Everything's Shiny in Crystal City

So, I'm in Crystal City (Arlington, VA) for a conference this week. And everything's ... shiny.

Big, shiny hotels (lots of 'em)

and big, shiny shops

and lots of chain restaurants

I'm a day late for the Farmer's Market

And I have no desire to go all the way to DC to eat at a chain restaurant.

But a pilot friend (Hi Andy!!) who regularly flies through Reagan National Airport suggested a hole in the wall indian place just down the road.

You had me at "indian" (despite what Olivia says), but throw in "dive" ... and I'm there!
