To know Adrian and I is to know Tallula and EatBar, a side-by-side pair of restaurants in Arlington, a short walk from the Clarendon metro. As sad as we were to see the dive-bar Whitey’s go a few years back when we lived a block away, its replacement, Tallula, has earned its own special place [...]
