What takeout can you get closest/fastest from your home? What's the best and closest?

For us, it's a Vietnamese Pho place. And it's probably one of the best options in the neighborhood. It's literally under our building, even though we have to walk around the block to get there. Tasty, cheap and fast - the only problem is when it's closed on Tuesdays.

Closest: thai and chinese. (there's also pizza in the same plaza, but it's too skeezy.)

My favorite is a little farther out - a vietnamese noodle place.

How suburban is your area? Like, when you say closest, how far of a drive?

It's as suburban as it gets - Columbia is about the epitome of suburbia.

The Chinese and Thai are about a 3 minute drive, or a 7 minute walk. (Just got done walking from a pub in that same plaza, in fact). The Vietnamese place is about a 8-10 minute drive. My favorite sushi is about 12 minutes. The Korean supermarket and the Vietnamese bakery and the closest Korean steakhouse are clustered at about 15. Dim sum is 15, which is sad, because the one 10 minutes away, which I liked better, closed.

Ha! I remember some guy at a DC-area party telling me that Columbia is the premier suburb between DC and Baltimore. And that's when I knew that I could never think about living there. But I'm glad to hear that it's at least walkable and has decent food!
