There are also Tastee Diners in Laurel, MD (on Rt 1, just south of Main St.;
1 is a divided highway at that point, and the TD is between the northbound
and southbound lanes...  not extremely well marked, so go slow) and Bethesda,
MD (the Bethesda TD is one block off of Wisconsin Ave., on the corner of
Woodmont and a short connecting street that runs down to Wisconsin - it's in
the mid to high 7000's of Wisconsin's addresses).

The TD in Laurel has a back room where they have live bands playing at perhaps
excessive volume - be warned.

The one in Bethesda tends to be busy (especially around the time all the bars
throw their patrons out in the morning), so try to arrange your visit for a
non-busy time.

The one in Silver Spring is the most accomodating for late-hours diners...
there isn't much night life in SS, so the place gets real quiet at times.
