La Créperie is the place to be

By Anuja Shah | Feb. 8, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Located in the bustling row outside the Pentagon City mall, La Créperie is an unexpectedly charming bistro with lots of flair for its fairly cheap eats. As the name implies, La Créperie serves mostly crépes (although they offer sandwiches and croissants for the unadventurous of stomach and weak of wallet). Entrees range from $6 to $8, and offer tempting vegetarian and non-vegetarian options; the crépes sucrées (sweet crépes), between $5 and $6 each, are inviting by themselves or as a dessert.

Immediately after the Dec. 26 tsunamis crashed across the shores of 12 countries, people began counting the dead.

Arenas, Jamison both very worthy All-Stars

By Michael Bushnell | Feb. 8, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Any one who saw Gilbert Arenas light up the Indiana Pacers for 43 points on Monday, Feb. 7 surely must agree that he's an All-Star. Arenas' 24.7 points per game are more than worthy of some accolade, and a chance to shine as an Eastern Conference reserve will do the trick.
