Thai

Jump on your bike, or take a short walk to Thai X-ing, located a few blocks west of our neighborhood .  The eccentricity ranges from the one-man operation, to the hole-in-the-wall basement location, to the cuisine itself–all to your benefit.  Read the reviews (Washington Post, Washingtonian) or go with your gut.  But do call ahead!
