Xanh (warning: web site has completely gratuitous Flash usage), our local excellent upscale Vietnamese restaurant, just moved into larger digs; glad they’re doing well. The new digs are a bit hip for me, and in particular the room that pairs interesting artwork with green ceiling lights (washing out all the colors in the artwork; I wonder what it makes your food look like?) is not an inspired choice. But the food is superb, which is all that really matters; if it’s a little easier to find a seat at the new location and if it lets them have a slightly larger menu, I’m all for it.
Jordan, have you eaten there? If not, we should take you there the next time you’re in town. For locals, the new place is basically right across the street from the old place. (Same block, a few storefronts closer to the train tracks.)

Neat! Gordon took me there once, and I was pretty happy with my meal, but it didn’t seem worth fighting crowds or making a reservation to go back.

Yeah, but we still have to go to the fancy sushi place too!
There’s a place in Philadelphia called Pod, where you eat your dinner inside a giant plastic pod whose lighting you can change by pressing various buttons around the pod’s interior — you can get it to be just about any color. And yes, it makes the food look weird.

Well, if you want to go to Kaygetsu, you might have to give us more than a day’s warning before you arrive… (Hmm, we do need an excuse to go back to Kaygetsu. When will you be in town again? :-) )
