Kin Da
6923 Laurel AveExcellent Thai food, affordable with a nice atmosphere.
Busboys is a great full service restaurant with a tasty menu but it's also a great spot for a coffee or a beer, to work a bit on your laptop or to socialize. Part bookstore, part social justice organizing hub, it's a great destination on many days.
