There is, or at least there used to be, a Romanian restaurant, and I think
it's still around.  It's called The Vagabond, and is in one of the
Maryland suburbs, maybe Bethesda -- ?  It's been quite a while since I was
there with a little monthly dining club, but we had a good if not
sensational dinner there.

The Serbian Crown, which was on upper Wisconsin Avenue for years, but is
now in one of the Virginia suburbs, I've heard, has Russian and Yugoslav
food, but I never thought it lived up to its high opinion of itself and
high prices.

Cziskos was a great Hungarian restaurant in the old Broadmoor Apt building
on Connecticut Avenue, but is gone now too.  There used to be another
called Old Budapest out in -- dare I say it? I sure don't want the
bandwidth clogged up with more debate on where it is! -- Fairfax.  But I
don't know if it's still in business.

I'd like to know myself of any other Eastern European restaurants in the
area.  For a city with a considerable range of ethnic cuisine, the lack of
a Polish restaurant strikes me as a pretty terrible shortcoming.
