Bites Nearby: City Lights of China
You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in, but we've got a better idea. Each week, Takoma Park Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:

โYou can add City Lights of China to the list of solid Chinese spots in the area. Offering the usual Chinese fare: dumplings, fried rice, lo-mein, etc., coupled with several healthy sauteed choices, this spot is a good family option when cooking seems like too much of a hassle, and you don't want to empty your bank account on a meal.ย
It does tend to get busy during dinner time, so you may want to call ahead to check on the wait, and be prepared for a relatively noisy dining experience. Also, parking is hard to come by so don't plan on pulling right up front for take out.
