planning an Asian vegetable garden
Please note, that this post is for FUTURE reference.
I will not be growing most of the vegetables that I'll be listing in the initial post of this thread.
For me, planning an Asian vegetable garden is a bit more complicated than planning a regular vegetable garden.
With a regular vegetable garden, I pretty much know what vegetables I like so I know the majority being grown I'll plant more than I need, cause I'll use them for preserving and freeze some.
Although I've heard of most Asian vegetables, I've never used them in cooking, nor have I tasted them. I don't have any exposure to most of them. As a result, the first Asian vegetable garden I grow, I'll just be growing enough
to eat fresh, to see what I like, what I don't, etc.
I also don't know which Asian vegetables freeze well, store well, etc.
I'd need to know how many I could grow for one person that would be enough for me just to eat fresh. Please specify the quantities with how many of each plant I'd plant, and NOT by weight.
The veggies I'd try to grow for an Asian veggie garden are listed below:
Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin; much smaller than American pumpkins)
Winter Melon
Pickling Melon
Sword Beans
Long beans
Amaranth (water spinach)
Chinese celery
mustard greens
burdock root (gobo; it's a long root veggie)
bitter gourd
Asian Eggplants (Chinese, Thai, and Japanese varieties)
Bok Choy and Pak Choy (pak choy is baby bok choy)
Turnip Greens
Azuki Beans, Black soybeans (kuro mame)
Sesame seeds, black, white (don't know about this; all depends on if my growing season is long enough)
Yomogi (mugwort, Japanese herb)
Shisho (Japanese variety of Basil)
Thai Basil
Garlic Chives
Bird's Eye Chilies
Principly, there is no different as far as growing conditions
and methods are concerned. I have grown some of those in your list; shiso, Thai basil, lemom grass, garlic chives, long beans, mustard greens, C.celery, K. mints, snow peas, c.cabbage, bok choy,chinese radish etc.
You are asking tough questions! I cook for 2 maybe 3 or 4 times a week. Family comes once a week. Other night we have leftovers, eat out, or my husband cooks something easy. I have been studying and trying Asian recipes this past year. How much you plant depends on how much you like each vegetable. I've been able to try some things from the Asian market. Maybe some of my comments on your list will be helpful.
Daikon: I grew a short row but wasted most of the crop because it bolted sooner than I expected. I did not have a good set of recipes so I didn't use as much as I might this coming season. I also plan to plant Chinese Watermelon or Red Meat Radishes. I like Daikon and carrot pickles but my family does not.
Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin; much smaller than American pumpkins) We grew a variety from Johnny's called Confection which I believe is from this family. It's a winter squash. Confection has been a great keeper, stored in our semi-heated garage. It is March and we still have some good squashes. Our crop wasn't as good the second year as the first but we had a very rainy summer. I discovered we much prefer using the squash in Massaman curry instead of sweet potatoes (which we do not grow).
I'm not familiar with the next 3:
Winter Melon
Pickling Melon
Sword Beans
Long beans: I am trying these this year. I planted too late last summer and the beans didn't have enough time to mature before our early frost. Check the days to harvest.
Amaranth (water spinach): not familiar
Chinese celery: I take this to mean cilantro. I have a hard time growing it because it bolts early. The seeds sown late did better in cooler weather.
mustard greens: we discovered we don't like mustard greens
burdock root (gobo; it's a long root veggie)
bitter gourd
Asian Eggplants (Chinese, Thai, and Japanese varieties)
Bok Choy and Pak Choy (pak choy is baby bok choy): These bolt easily. Just grow a few plants so you can use them fresh, and do successive plantings.
Misome: not familiar
Turnip Greens: This year I will grow choy sum for the first time. I finally bought some at the Asian grocery. We like it better than Swiss chard.
Watercress: not familiar
Komatsuna:not familiar
Azuki Beans, Black soybeans (kuro mame): I don't grow
Sesame seeds, black, white (don't know about this; all depends on if my growing season is long enough): cheaper to buy
Yomogi (mugwort, Japanese herb)
Shisho (Japanese variety of Basil) This really isn't a basil but it's related. I don't use it much.
Thai Basil: I love the flavor of this. A small patch would be good, maybe 3 x 1'. I did not freeze or dry this.
Garlic Chives: I really haven't made good use of these although I have grown for many years. A short row is probably sufficient.
Bird's Eye Chilies: I grow one plant but we don't use many hot peppers. I use bottled sauces that add enough heat.
That's a grand list for one person, and for one garden. I only tried a few from your list because for some veggies I prefer the western type (like beans).
Amaranth and Shiso are both sprouting in my garden now. Amaranth is not really water spinach. Water Spinach does not have much flavor of its own. While Amaranth does. It's high in Iron so you'll like it if you like true Spinach. Amaranth may grow tall, while Water Spinach will spread horizontally.
By Shiso, I guess you meant it looks like basils because Shiso is actaully related to the Mint family. Sometimes I plant Mint in pots to entend their season. I imaging moving Mint pots may be worth the effort in your area because Shosi may be hard to find fresh in your local stores.
Mustard green and Bok Choy should be great choice for your zone because they do well in our winter. I'm not sure about soy bean or eggplant because mine did poorly for me last year due to the early cool summer in my area, and we're in zone 8.
By the way, by doing well in the winter of Zone 8, I actually sow the seeds for these in early fall. Maybe you want to try Spring and mid summer sowing.
I forgot to mention Garlic Chive is a winner for me because I only need to plant them once, and divide every five year. They survive heat and hail. If I have to move when I live to be 100, I will dig up my garlic chives and transplant them where ever i go.
Garlic Chives. These are eaten as a vegetable more so than an herb. Very easy to grow and gets better and better the more you cut them down. Plus they are really easy transplant. I have a nice size bed of them, they are delicious as a side vegetable , or cooked with eggs and tofu if you like the taste of garlic.
Daikon. These are a pain in the butt to dig out so make sure you have a good bed of garden soil. I grow these in raised beds for that reason.
Like another had suggested, how about adding lemon grass? Easy to grow stuff. Next time you are in an Asian market buy a stalk which still contains it's root ball. Place it in water for a few days in a sunny window and it will start to root. Plant that and in a few weeks you will have a nice size mound of Lemon Grass.

No one knows better than Twitter that careless remarks have a way of spreading like wildfire on the 'Net.
Perhaps to control the conversation, then, the seven-year-old social-networking outfit last week took the unusual step of tweeting, officially, that it had filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to go public, but that it wouldn't be disclosing any numbers.
Twitter is very publicly choosing a very private way to go public, a twisted state of affairs that's enough to melt one's brain. Under a clause in the 2012 JOBS Act, the company is able to file with the SEC and disclose nothing about its finances, given it has less than $1 billion in revenue.
By Friday morning, the media was discussing what seems the sole financial datum: an estimate by market research firm eMarketer that Twitter may make $580 million in revenue this year. That matches what a source told me last week: that 2013 revenue may be half a billion, double what the company made last year. The same source suggests Twitter may be able to again roughly double revenue, to $1 billion in 2014.
In many respects, Twitter is coming to market in a better position than when Facebook FB -0.12605042016806722% Facebook Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD83.195 -0.105 -0.12605042016806722% /Date(1427749200895-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 24262774 AFTER HOURS USD83.1 -0.095 -0.11418955466073683% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 264912 P/E Ratio 74.28125 Market Cap 233157705257.644 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1355150 More quote details and news » held its ill-fated initial public offering a year ago this May, in which its shares closed just slightly above their offer price and declined over the following six months by about 50%.
Twitter is expected to get most of its advertising revenue from mobile use of its service, a fact the Street adores. That is in stark contrast to Facebook (ticker: FB), which currently gets just over 40% of revenue from mobile but had no mobile revenue whatsoever when it came public.
If Twitter doubles revenue this year, that would be better than the roughly 88% growth that Facebook had in the year leading up to its offering.
But the example of what happened with another Internet start-up, Groupon GRPN -2.3653088042049935% Groupon Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD7.43 -0.18 -2.3653088042049935% /Date(1427749200244-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11461937 AFTER HOURS USD7.45 0.02 0.2691790040376851% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 177298 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 5139512434.14202 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 269500 More quote details and news » (GRPN), in 2011, when it filed, still haunts the industry. Groupon filed that June, and spent the next several months having a very public discussion with the SEC about a single figure in its filing, so-called "adjusted consolidated segment operating income," or CSOI.
The SEC objected to the accounting behind CSOI, a modified form of pro-forma profit. It became a media circus, with journalists lambasting the fantasy profit numbers of Groupon. Not a good way to head toward a roadshow.
"I think this may be a way for Twitter to air what may be controversial metrics in a controlled fashion, and come up with a filing that has been blessed by the SEC" before anyone can tweet any numbers, says Topeka Capital Markets' Victor Anthony, who covers Facebook and rates it a Buy.
Twitter may have a $12 billion valuation. Kevin Landis, head of Firsthand Capital, accumulated shares from individuals in the private market up until the end of last year. At that time, the private valuation was $9 billion, implying a $17 share price, he says. That may have risen by about a third since then, he reckons.
In a sense, this move by Twitter is the latest in an odd dance between today's start-ups and Wall Street. For years, they have built businesses with what seemed like little regard for being public. "I find it weird that we live in a time when companies are virtually blue chips and they're not public," says Landis. "It feels like Twitter should be a public company," given how established they are, he says.
You can thumb your nose at the Street for a long time, until one day you either need additional liquidity or your venture investors need an exit. That day may have arrived for Twitter. Even private investors such as Landis don't have their fingers on up-to-date data for Twitter.
He, like the rest of us, will have to wait to see what other interesting bits come public when the company hits the road with bankers. With any luck, the mess that was Facebook's offering will make for a smoother journey for Twitter.
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, last week had some nuggets of tech's future—the area known as "wearables" and exemplified by gadgets such as the recently unveiled "Galaxy Gear" smart watch from Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea) and the Nike NKE 1.011213456147377% Nike Inc. Cl B U.S.: NYSE USD100.89 1.01 1.011213456147377% /Date(1427749263814-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2667910 AFTER HOURS USD100.89 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 49819 P/E Ratio 29.243478260869566 Market Cap 86290210708.7589 Dividend Yield 1.1101199325998612% Rev. per Employee 536673 More quote details and news » (NKE) FuelBand bracelet.
In a trip through Silicon Valley, I picked up both enthusiasm and deep skepticism for what is supposed to be a post-smartphone era of intelligent, limited-function digital accessories. They interact with sensor chips and do things such as monitor your workout or alert you if you missed a call on your smartphone.
The potential is there. Apple's AAPL 2.5314401622718052% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD126.37 3.12 2.5314401622718052% /Date(1427749200851-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 46530466 AFTER HOURS USD126.45 0.08 0.06330616443776213% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 569204 P/E Ratio 16.917001338688085 Market Cap 717900196777.344 Dividend Yield 1.48769486428741% Rev. per Employee 2153110 More quote details and news » (AAPL) new iPhone 5S smartphone contains what is known as a "sensor hub," a special chip separate from the phone's microprocessor that silently gathers data from the onboard sensors even while you're not paying attention to your phone. It can feed all that data to applications that will track how much you've walked in a day, or the pace of your stride.
And last week Intel INTC -1.6875% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD31.46 -0.54 -1.6875% /Date(1427749200409-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 50960706 AFTER HOURS USD31.47 0.01 0.03178639542275906% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 430835 P/E Ratio 13.108333333333333 Market Cap 151552000000 Dividend Yield 3.0514939605848697% Rev. per Employee 523618 More quote details and news » (INTC) unveiled a new family of microprocessors known as "Quark," expressly designed for wearables, that consume just one-tenth the power of existing phone and tablet chips.
But there may be as many misses as hits in this field. The Gear watch, according to long-time tech observer Rich Doherty of the Envisioneering Group, who has tried it, makes it feel like having weights on your wrists. Ugh. And the prospect of having to recharge the battery of your watch every 24 hours also does not appeal.
Start-ups are leading the way. Firsthand's Landis has a stake in San Francisco's Jawbone, which started out making bluetooth headsets and makes something called UP, a stylish bracelet that tracks your movements and can let you measure your fitness regimen. Unlike the FuelBand, it also monitors your sleep patterns.
The vast sums spent on organizations such as Jenny Craig might in itself fuel sales of health-related devices such as UP, Landis muses. But "nobody wants to invest in what's going to be the Newton of this industry" he adds, referring to Apple's ill-fated digital organizer of the early '90s.
Jawbone last week raised more than $110 million in debt and equity financing. Landis acquired shares separately. AllThingsD wrote that Jawbone raised cash to fill millions of back orders for UP. The company competes with another San Francisco firm, the better-known Fitbit.
It remains to be seen whether the present good will for wearables will lead to a real viable industry or fizzle like the Hula Hoop.

Question regarding reviews
So far I've made two parts to my planned series, part 1 has been reviewed several times and I've been able to give it a lot of polish thanks to that. Part 2 on the other hand has been out for ~ a week and still not even a rating. I would like at least one review before I start polishing it up (its rather raw right now, wrote the whole thing in one sitting), how do I get people to try it out for me? I've suggested it to fleeties but still nothing. My missions are The Return of Zero Part 1/2.

Imagine the context – a large-scale disaster occurs, the international humanitarian community responds. Dozens of actors arrive - different skills, styles, and accountabilities; NGOs, governments – national and local, military actors, civil society. They act differently, think differently, have different ways of working. Sound familiar?
The international humanitarian community has developed a number of coordination mechanisms and systems, formal and informal, to address these challenges. But what can be learned from other sectors? What potential lies in understanding how emergency responders (fire, police, ambulance) approach multi-organisational coordination (often described as 'Unified Command')?

The city will soon have mobile fair price shops to help residents procure commodities through the public distribution system without any hassles.
Announcing this in the Assembly on Monday, minister for cooperation Sellur K. Raju said two vehicles worth a total of Rs. 26.60 lakh would be provided to the Triplicane Urban Cooperative Society (TUCS) and Park Town Cooperative Wholesale Stores. These vehicles would be used to distribute commodities at the doorsteps of residents.
On an average, each fair price shop must cover not more than 1,600 family card-holders. But several shops run by co-operatives are serving more than 2,500-3,000 family card-holders.
Sources said over 30 fair price shops run by TUCS need to be bifurcated to prevent overcrowding and delay in procuring goods. Co-operative societies face difficulties in identifying buildings to house ration shops. In a bid to better serve consumers, the mobile fair price shops might be used to cover streets located at a distance from existing shops. This would defer the need to bifurcate the ration shops.
The infrastructure in the city's two cold storage facilities at Koyambedu and Basin Bridge with a total capacity of 3,225 metric tonnes, would also be improved, the minister said. The State government has allocated Rs. 3.94 crore to upgrade the infrastructure.
Sources said the facilities run by Tamil Nadu Co-operative Marketing Federation are used to store fruits and vegetables in Koyambedu, and dairy products and peas at Basin Bridge. Besides problems faced in storing various products at different temperature levels, there is also seepage during rains. The first phase of modernisation, including installation of lifts for goods and material handling, has been completed at Koyambedu.
Food minister R. Kamaraj said the State government has allotted Rs. 2.62 crore to construct shops that would be owned by 25 fair price shops across the city.
Finding a rented accommodation of a suitable size has become an expensive affair. At present, there are 981 co-operative societies' ration shops and 437 run by Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation. Sources said of those run by co-operative societies, nearly 520 are those of TUCS and Park Town Cooperative Wholesale Stores.
Mr. Kamaraj also announced elevators would be provided at State and district consumer redressal forums (Chennai north and Chennai south) at a cost of Rs. 16 lakh.

EXO members write disappointed and reprimanding messages to sasaeng fans

Recently, EXO's sasaeng fans have received a lot of criticism for their rude misconduct at a wedding for member Baekhyun's brother. These fans went so far as to stand on top of tables to record videos and was overall very disrespectful to the couple, ruining their special day. One of the attendants left a message describing their actions in detail.
SEE ALSO: Sasaeng fans of EXO criticized for improper conduct during a wedding
Needless to say, the EXO members were also displeased at what had occurred. They wrote out their disappointments.
Member Tao wrote in Chinese, "I really can't stand you guys calling us continuously throughout the night. Those of you who follow us everywhere, is it fun? I really hate this invasion of my private life. I am not a criminal. I want my rest and I want my personal space! Not like how things are now."
Another member, Kris, also wrote an equally disappointed yet more gentle message: "You are supposed to spend youth noisily. However, there is a limit to everything so don't waste your life's stamina and money following me around. I cannot be responsible for everything in your life. I am scared that you guys will later regret everything you do now. I hope you guys will live a happy and complete life."
Previously, EXO even had an instance with sasaeng fans where they blocked an entire escalator because they were clamoring to see the boys at an airport. In an interview, EXO members had said, "Please refrain from sasaeng." Obviously, their fans had not heeded their wish. Hopefully, these personal reprimands will make EXO's fans reevaluate their lives and priorities!

Sasaeng fans, should seriously get their minds together and start actually STUDYING instead of skipping. I wonder where are their parents, if they don't have any with them or if their parents are overseas, should there be someone taking care of them -_-
Instead of wasting money buying plane tickets just to be on the same plane as EXO, let those who really need those plane tickets buy it.
Instead of wasting time following them around, spend the time hanging out with friends or studying. If those sasaengs fans are adults, two opinions.
1st, If you actually do earn money, USE THE TIME TO DO DATE OKAY? DON'T STALK.
2nd, You're an adult already, still acting so childish?
And what's the use of stalking them? Wouldn't you guys get tired of seeing them frightened of you? Hiding away from you?
And, please if you wanna be a sasaeng fan, please be a good one. Only follow, stalk and help when they need your help.Not be a unrequired person behind them.
mokona45· Posted May 15, 2014 @ 4:07 pm
With sasaeng's it's an obsession. They should never be considered fans, because they have no respect for artists' feelings or personal lives. The misplaced worship and stalking needs to stop. It drives them away from us as fans, and makes them feel as though they aren't safe or private in their own homes. Be respectful and threat them as friends, not gods.

some exotics are crazyyyy
i googled crazy exo fans and saw pics of exotics tattoo themselves with exo members' names this is creepyy LOOOL
mewnice· Posted February 17, 2014 @ 5:13 am
These people are crazy bitches. They are lucky enough to be in the same country as EXO unlike us international fans who even have to wait for the chance EXO will come to our countries. Why can't they be satisfied? They're creepy, rude, and retards. They need to get a life, if they don't then they deserve to be locked up in jail.
Sasaengs need to be hit with a chair , punched , pooped on by a bear and then be in jail for invading EXO's personal life -____-
It's so sickening to hear about the things sasaengs do. It's not fair for anybody's personal life to be invaded like that. Stalkers. Just gross, seriously disgusting behavior.
azielle_trinity· Posted December 12, 2013 @ 11:02 am
Why are sasaeng doing this? EXO don't deserve this. Can they just leave them alone and be a normal fans like going to fan signing, and concert. I feel sorry for baekhyun's brother wedding. Sasaeng stop. They are not supposed to be called FANS. My Friend and i are exo fan, she said she wanted to be a stalker too, but not too far like ruining someone's wedding. So she just made a EXO Stalker diary. She's funny cause she did that and i understand her. Those fans are lucky to be in the same country as them.
if i had the money to buy EXO i'd rather buy all the food i want and die happily with all my lovely foods

Haaaaaa...EXOtic Sasaeng fans..... Not only they cause trouble to EXO, they even compare and insult the other boy groups which is starting to annoy me.. Like seriously!?! Why even compare them.. -__- they all have different dancing and singing skills.. Sasaeng fans are just attention whores... Period. **SLAMS TABLE** from:: concerned fan
Why do we even call sasaengs fans?? They do not deserve to be called fans The EXO members are people like me and you and they deserve their privacy. So please respect their wishes like a true fan should

Greetings from Luxembourg !
My name is Karim, I am 46yo and I live in Luxembourg
I am French and I have worked in hospitality for the past 24 years and my job took me in places as different as New-Zealand, Australia and Canada, England and more recently Luxembourg.
I love travelling and discovering new exciting places and learn about their History, traditions and People.
A little anecdote is that I was lucky enough to live in Summer for a few years as I worked in south of France from March to October and in Russell, Bay of Islands, New-Zealand from October to March. Since then, I must admit that "old winter" came back to me...
My interests include travelling at home and abroad, creating miniatures on a 1/12th scale - mostly with the Victorian times in mind - reading, movies, walking and renovating my home in France.
During my English years, I have embarked on a journey of discovery of this country that was for more than a decade my second home away from France and England keeps enchanting my senses with its variety, the beauty of its scenery and the wealth of its history and traditions.
I, who used to think for so many years and excitement and emotion were about "long haul" journeys, have finally discovered that beauty often lay on your very door step for you to enjoy.
I will be delighted to take you along with me on my "escapades" around the UK with a short presentation of the place spiced up here and there with a few little anecdotes and pictures.
Thank you for welcoming to this forum !

Agencies must decide how to divide requirements for competition
Running to stand still
The General Services Administration is urging agencies to move ahead with their planning to make the transition from the FTS 2001 telecommunications contract to Networx, the forthcoming vehicle that GSA plans to award to vendors next year.
At a Transition Summit that the agency held last week for agencies and industry, officials spent a lot of time discussing fair opportunity, a provision of Networx that will require agencies to work harder to acquire services through the contract.
Essentially, fair opportunity means that all companies that hold a Networx contract must have a chance to compete for agency work.
Agencies won't need to hold a competition for every task order, but they must break down their requirements into groups and go through a fair opportunity process — with ample documentation — for each group, said Jack Braun, GSA's contracting officer for Networx Universal, one of the two Networx contracts that GSA will award to multiple vendors.
However, agencies have a significant amount of leeway in how they divide their requirements, and that's one of many decisions they need to start considering, Braun said.
For example, an agency could divide the groups by service type — voice, video and data services could each be a separate group. Another option is to divide the groups by subagencies or offices located in different geographical areas.
"There's going to be more scrutiny of the fair opportunity clause than ever before," Braun said. FTS 2001 has a clause called fair consideration, but officials will more tightly monitor Networx's fair opportunity.
And because the fair opportunity provisions are part of the contract, agencies that were not subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation will still need to develop a process to meet the demand before they can use Networx, he said.
"It's clear there is going to be a lot of political attention to this process," said Warren Suss, president of Suss Consulting.
It's one more element for agencies and companies to consider, at a time when they have fewer resources than they did during the last major telecom contract transition in 2000, he said.
There are some instances in which agencies can forgo the use of fair consideration, Braun said, such as in an emergency situation or when only one vendor is capable of doing the needed work. In those cases, however, agencies will have to fully document and justify the decision to skip fair opportunity.
Speaking more generally, Fred Schobert, GSA's Networx program manager, said the contract includes many provisions for GSA to manage.
"This is designed to allow you to worry about your mission and we'll worry about the contract," he told the audience.

Powers, an upcoming TV show from Sony, has an interesting debut on the PlayStation Network on March 10 as the PSN's first real foray into original programming. Powers has been in the making since 2001 (one year after the comic series was released), when Sony Pictures first optioned the series. Needless to say, it's taking a big chance with this unique arrangement.

Today marks the 15th anniversary of the PlayStation 2. In those 15 years, we've already had two more Sony console releases, but the PS2 is still near and dear to many of our hearts. The console gave us many of our favorite games, from huge hits like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Kingdom Hearts, and Metal Gear Solid 3, to more experimental titles such as Shadow of the Colossus, Persona 4, and Katamari Damacy. The PS2 had something for everyone, and many people consider it to be one of the greatest consoles of all time.
But where did it all begin? Everyone has their own special memories of when they first saw the PlayStation 2 in action, and of their very first time playing a game on the console. Whether you got the PS2 at launch, waited a few years before diving in, or played it at a friend's house, everyone had to start somewhere.

When I saw this was a refurbished Day's Inn I almost cancelled. Day's Inn strikes fear into my road warrior's heart and refurbished is almost inevitably lipstick on a pig. However, I'm glad I didn't cancel as I had an excellent stay at this hotel. My Club level room was well equipped, including a microwave and fridge, everything worked and the decoration and furnishings were attractive, clean and in good condition with the usual excellent Crowne Plaza bed. Throughout, the hotel was spotless and well-maintained with no signs of its former life to let it down. Check in was fast, all the staff I met were efficient, friendly and very service focused. The hotel has a nice size pool and spa and there is free wi-fi throughout. My only gripe would be the restaurant, while the bar was good and the staff were excellent, the menu choice, quality of the food and cooking was pretty poor. You'll do much better to walk across the road, go through the Marriott and out the other side where you'll find a plaza with every kind of restaurant you could want. Having tried several others, the Crowne Plaza will now become my regular Dulles Airport hotel.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Welcome to the Crowne Plaza Dulles Airport, located in Herndon Virginia and in the heart of the Dulles Corridor, just 2 miles from Dulles International Airport (IAD). We provide complimentary 24-hr shuttle service to and from Dulles Airport as well as complimentary scheduled shuttle service to local offices within a five mile radius (Mon-Fri). Avoid traffic delays and parking fees for your next trip and book our Park, Stay & Go package. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel to make your stay more productive. Our Houlihan's Restaurant & Bar offers a popular and lively happy hour, as well as breakfast, lunch, dinner and room service. All guest rooms feature Hi-Def flat screen television and refrigerator. Relax with a swim in our lap pool or enjoy a workout in our 24-hr fitness center. Also stay connected with our 24-hr business center.Our convenient location is within walking distance to restaurants, shopping & a multiplex movie theatre. If you prefer to drive, Enterprise Car Rental is conveniently located just off our lobby. Washington D.C. attractions are only 22 miles east, and the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum is 4 miles away.
