The Clarendon area is a popular destination for 20-30 year olds, with lots of bars in the area. This area has become fairly commercialized in recent years, with a Container Store and Cheescake Factory located one block from Mama Qwan's. The Clarendon metro station is only one block away. One of my favorite places to see live music in the D.C. area - the Iota Club, is located about a 3 minute walk from Mama Qwan's. It would be nice to have another 'oasis' location to visit in the midst of this commercial urban canyon. When I took the pictures below, they were still in the early state of renovation, with only a small single tiki hanging on one of the doors. I have no idea when Mama Qwan's will officially open - my guess is several months from now. Keeping my fingers crossed ... Vern
