Great thread!  I was just going to ask about places like this.  There's
also Duangrat's, a Thai restaurant on Route 7 in Bailey's Crossroads.  They
have dancers on certain nights (I don't know which nights, and have never 
seen them, myself).  Atilla's, on Columbia Pike in Arlington, used to have
dancers on certain nights, but I'm not sure if they still do.  Anyone know?

What about other Middle Eastern places?  I vaguely remember hearing about
a place in Georgetown and another in Old Town Alexandria that had belly
dancers.  Can anybody confirm that and provide more info?

There's also music to consider:  I've heard that the Ice House (in Herndon?)
has jazz.  What about Jacques' Cafe in Arlington?  Does it still exist, and
do they still have jazz?


:-)   OK, so I have more questions than answers today.
