On New Year’s Eve, I had a brief conversation with a friend of mine and we resolved to hang out more in 2008. We finally got around to keeping that resolution last night.

I met up with P.D. last night for phở, a cuisine I’d never had before. We met up in at Phở 75 in Rosslyn. The name sounded familiar when he suggested it and at the restaurant I realized why — there was a franchise location not far from where I used to live in Rockville.

The place resembled a school cafeteria, and we were attended to right away by a somewhat unpleasant waiter. Nevertheless, the food was fast, tasty and cheap; we got out of there for less than $20, for two large bowls and a beverage each.

Oh, and a very modest tip… for the cooks.
