Interesting that best Thai restaurant on CP's page is "Thaitanic" at "1326-A 14th St NW"
That's actually Thaitanic II.
I'm not trying to call out a typo or anything here, but since there actually is a "Thaitanic" that's been around a lot longer than our Columbia Heights version, one has to wonder if they really meant Thaitanic I or Thaitanic II.
When I voted I voted specifically for Thaitanic II.
Food is the same amount of deliciousness both places, it was an editorial call.
jamie: 1326 is the location south of RIA, and that is the first one. i'm a little confused by your point here. you're saying the first one is called "thaitanic II"?
also, florida avenue grill is not in columbia heights. sorry, at the bottom of the hill is not in the heights...
@IMGoph - you're right to be confused - as I am the one that was confused.
I just assumed that "14th Street" was the same one I live near on 14th Street without thinking about the address. I didn't realize the other one was also on 14th, though 20 block south.
Sounds like CP mean to give the prize to the one NOT in Columbia Heights. But anyway, I would imagine as Artbart says, the food's the same, I'm glad to have II near me.
