: Jewish Deli:  Carnegie Deli at Tyson's Corner, Va
No way.  I went a lot when it opened.  It was actually franchised from 
the NY place.  It changed ownership since then and the quality went down 
quickly.  Last time I was there (sometime within the last year) it was 
dirty, the sandwiches were tiny, the meat was dry.  If anyone has been 
there in the last six months and has a different report, I'll try it 
again (it's convenient to where I work), but otherwise, forget it.

: Pizza:  who knows?  You could try Generous George's Positive Pizza Place
:         in Alexandria.  It's right up there in quality, with a fun
:         atmosphere.
I've been reasonably impressed with the yuppie pizza at California Pizza 
Kitchen at Tyson's I.  Well made, quick, good variety (would you believe 
Peking Duck pizza?), good waitstaff, tasty salads.

: Chinese:  depends who you talk to.  Try the dim sum at Fortune in Bailey's
:           Crossroads, Va, or Mr Yung's in Chinatown.  There's a place in
:           the mall at Tysons II that, if you order FROM THE CHINESE MENU,
:           is sublime.  I think it's called Hunan Lion.
The original Hunan Lion is a few blocks away at the intersection of rte 
123 and Old Courthouse Road.  Good quality Chinese American, nice 
ambiance.  Old favorites done well.  Aside from Fortune (above), the best 
I've found in No. Va.

: Breakfast:  try the Royal Diner in Alexandria.  I may have the name wrong, 
:             but it's close.
I'm not a big breakfast person, but "Le Pipe" in Fairfax is pretty good.  
One or two notches above the IHOP, but quick, friendly service, big 
portions go a long way.
