    From what I heard, Jug Bridge had gone out of business and reopened
under a new management. However, I'm not sure if it's still open. I had
crabs once there. Wasn't impressed too much.

    Many Fredericktonian seem to believe that crabcake of Dutch's Daughter
is the best in town. However, I wasn't impressed there, either. Maybe, it's
just that I'm not so much into crabs... 8-)

    The restaurants in/around Frederick where I occasionally go include:

Hana -- A family-run Korean restaurant on Patrick Street (in the complex 
        behind the court house).

La Paz -- Mexican. OK quality for a reasonable price. Behind the parking
        desk on Church Street, but easier to get there from North Market
        Street.

DiFrancesco's -- Italian. A nice atmosphere. Lunch time antipasto bar
           (weekday only) is pretty good. Lobster on Friday is popular,
           too. On North Market Street. 

Tauraso's -- Seems to be regarded as a "Yuppie" Italian place. Food is
         OK, but maybe a little too pretentious for the actual quality.
          
Mealy's -- On the main street of New Market (10 min to the east from 
          Frederick). Very cozy atmosphere. Sunday brunch is a good deal. 

Little Far East -- Chinese. No MSG. Tofu and vegetable soup is pretty good.

Cafe Kyoko -- Japanese. Popular among non-Japanese in Frederick (whatever
          it means ... 8-)). BTW, I know that there is another Japanese
          restaurant called House of Kobe in Hagerstown although I haven't
          tried that, yet.

  Honestly, I prefer to drive down to Rockville or further to enjoy dinner.
