• Ba Le Bakery, 2822 Graham Rd, ☎ +1 703 876-9062. 24 hours daily. If perhaps not the best in the D.C. area for banh mi, Ba Le in Falls Church is right up there in the top echelon, and is open 24/7. The ramshackle seating is available in limited quantity inside and out on the strip mall parking lot patio (where they even seem to have one of those winterized outdoor seating heat lamps?). If it's 3AM, and you find yourself here eating head cheese sandwiches and washing them down with mung bean smoothies, you are clearly doing something right. Incidentally, you'll note that the Ba Le logo has an Eiffel Tower in it; Ba Le is Vietnamese for Paris--a nod to the French colonial past that gave birth to this magnificent sandwich! $3-7.

• Stayed at the Comfort Inn here on a group trip in high school. Standard class hotel with no frills, but fine if you're on a budget and don't mind commuting into the city each day. • Ashley T.
• Eden Center. There are tons of Vietnamese restaurants. You could find all kind of Vietnamese food here. There is also a night club "The Diamond Club" with famous vietnamese singers every weekend. • Hong T.
