Within a mile I've got a Thai, Viet Namese, a French/Viet Namese fusion (fabulous...wonderful...) and a Korean joint. That's in addition to the Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and two Japanese places.
We can literally eat around the world every day of the week if we wish.
I'll never forget the first time I walked into a Korean place. I just pointed to a picture of something on the menu because the waitress didn't speak a word of English and I speak no Korean.
Before I knew it I had about 10 condiments in front of me before the main dish arrived. I must have looked pretty helpless because a gentleman at the next table instructed me how to eat each delectable little side dish.
He spoke enough English to get me through the first of many Korean meals. Now it's one of my favorites.
I mentioned the French/Viet Namese place above. Now that's a truly amazing fusion of cuisines. I'm not a huge fan of French cooking, but this place is just amazing. If you ever run across one do give it a try.
Best,

Sounds like a fun neighborhood to be in, I’ve got to do a little more driving to get any serious variety, but it’s out there.
