Talar:
i hope both your dad and uncle know that they made a lot of people in mount pleasant happy for years and years. having a laundromat in their old spot is a local tragedy.

sorry to hear about the heart attack, but glad that he's doing well now. he worked too damn hard!

he's gotta follow your uncle's lead and spend all his free time dancing!

tell him thanks for the Little Giant. i miss that place bad...

for those who remember Little Giant, my father [Armenak Simon] worked there with my uncle. I dont remember it much because i was really young... i dont know if i was even born... yeah...im not sure about that. lol. but after the mount pleasant restaurant, we moved the bisness to Riverdale. We sold our bisness this year after my dad had a heart attack [2008] and my father is now retired and well. [just if you guys wanted to know...]

Come, come, Peggy. Mt Pleasant is nothing to Trinidad. I read the latter is extremely dangerous while the dining options are hardy even there.

Cozy my foot, Ernest. What's worse, during the tour of the neighborhood, we were ogled and whistled at by the ethnic types while simply ogled by domestic ones. At times it seemed we were to be attacked. I don't suppose I ever rode my bicycle that fast before or since.

Well, I like Dos Gringos. It's kind of cozy.

Oh, and someone tried to steal our bicycles while we were inside.

Yes, it was very wrong of Ernest to type so. Dos Gringos atmosphere is not romantic at all. When we arrived, the place was a chaos. And the food can make you ill. Tom Sietsema wouldn’t eat in such a place like for a kingdom.

@Ernest - fabulously romantic atmosphere? Dos Gringos? I don't think there's anything at all romantic (or even pleasant) about being crammed into a tiny room full of tables where people are usually hovering above you either in line for food or waiting for you to get up so that they can take your table. i've been to dos gringos and i think the food is fine, but i can't agree that the atmosphere is "romantic." It's the atmosphere that keeps me away.

That not to mention the fabulously romantic atmosphere.

Offensive or not, the food there must be very good. I hear Tom Sietsema is quite raving about the place.

Dos Gringos offensive? I see little offense in that.

eff this guy! really? then walk the eff down to U st w/ all their stupid chain restaurants and hipster hang outs, or even the heights on 14th, thats prolly more that vegetarian hippy ****s speed! diss about every place on mtp and say dos gringos is not only the worst place on the street but even the name is offensive? who the **** is this guy?? whats offensive about the name? i mean, sure hes right about the place sucking, but offensive? i know theres no god, but if there is PLEASE let him let me run into this moron in a bar (while hes drinking his vegan free range cosmo) and tell him exactly my opinions of him, his way of thinking, his choice NOT to eat meat (mainly bacon), and for the love of all that is holy...please let that mother****** stink of patchouli.....

If you want 5 star dining, then move to Penn Quarter. For local fair, we Mount Pleasantians have it good. Whenever I need some comfort food, I'll head to Radius for anything with their meatballs (yum), or if I am broke I'm off to Red Derby for a can of Old Chubb, or if I just need a warm, familiar face, I'll hang out downstairs at Tonic. These places are the epitome of friendly, low key, neighborhood joints and I wouldn't have it any other way.

16th and Irving? Isn't that the suburbs of Mount Pleasant?
