An Asian 4th...

So yesterday we decided to get a jump on the holiday that i was sure was gonna be swimming in humanity. Up an out to lunch around 5pm. I guess that's dinner. Anyway, me an steve at at "Tono" a great sushi joint. http://www.tonosushi.com/. We had the spicy tuna, smoked salmon, california roll, two crab sticks, an our individual choices; steve got yellow tail and i got boiled octopus. yeah i know, but hey, i'm on a tryin something new kick. Plus it was pretty good...Steve lost his Smartcard, so i gave him mine which forced me to get a farecard. Like a common tour-on. It had been so long since i used one, i forgot how to use it when forced into the handicapped lane. Thus, making me look like a real tourist. Anyway, we headed downto SW to "The Cantina Marina"( http://www.cantinamarina.com/) only to be shut out by a private party upstairs. Man. Then we walked to the Jefferson Memorial, stopping by the wharf, which i never knew was there! Man! Fresh seafood like right there! We ended up going back to SW an ended up at "Jenny's Asian Fusion and Lounge" (http://www.jennysdc.com/). It was very interesting. I was asian cafeteria up front, dive bar in the back. You had to walk through all the nice people havin dinner, talkin about their day--sharing. Then you get to the "shipwreck" inspired bar. All i have to say is $3 pints. No better deal in the district. Plus we got to "sample" shots all night long. That happens when your bartender's been drinkin longer than you. The fireworks were okay; not as good as last year, but we saw them from the 14th ST bridge. So we saw not only DC, but Rosslyn, Arlington, and all of SE's. That was awesome! Then back in for more drinks, more harassment. Metro'd home an passed out....Pretty good day! How was your 4th?
