WELL! I have yet another gem for you! My husband and I tried to get in to see the amazing Mr. Cornell West. No such luck! We waited on line at Bus Boys and Poets in DC for over an hour in the FREEZING COLD! LOL! We still could not get in! Oh well...maybe next time...Mr. West... :)
BUT! All was not lost! While waiting on that line...moving at snails pace...we noticed a trendy little spot next to us. Jin...A fairly new Asian Caribbean Soul Lounge...One word! WONDERFUL!
The food was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing and the service was even more amazing. The lone young man that worked that night was working the room...honey-child! All by himself! And we did not feel rushed...He even suggested a few appetizers and drinks that we LOVED! We loved it so much that we ordered meals to go...LOL!
They have a GREAT $5 happy hour Tues - Friday from 5:30pm - 8:00pm. The food is a wild combination of Asian and Caribbean cuisine...which is not anything new, if you are of island decent such as myself...LOL! But these folks have it locked down for sure and at a fair price!
The place turns into a club after 10pm, but if you are looking for a cool chill out spot after work, this place is it! The vibe is Asian-Carib-Drum-and-Base...If that makes any sense! LOL!
The decor is simple and very zen...with flat screen TV's that play psychedelic motion videos or even the latest Japanimation...Just lovely! We especially loved the flavored mojitos! I had a pineapple one followed by another of mango flavor.
If you get a chance...head into DC on a Friday night and check out Jin...and don't forget to order some Juice!

Stay Lovely!
