In PDX: Bettie Ford Lounge , doing a big business in cocktails, with a 70s/hospital theme.
In Torrance, CA: Rice Queen Restaurant . I stopped and took a picture of it
In Bellevue, WA: What the Pho?
This year's birthday cake came from Yummy House, which isn't affiliated with Yummie Bites (which recently changed its name from UDublicious), near Seattle's UW.

I'm not traveling there myself, but while making an itinerary for supervisor's trip to Guelph, Ontario, discovered there's a Chinese restaurant on the campus she's visiting called Wok-a-thon.
I've been LOLing all day and everyone believes I'm crazy (they're probably right
). What do y'all think? Funny? Not?

Pittsburgh's Strip District was once the home of the "My Dung" chinese restaurant which closed many years ago.
Following up on the liquor store names, one of my favorites is the "Godloves Discount Liquors" in Hagerstown, MD.
In Barcelona the Omm Hotel house restaurant is Moo. Rooms are designed for style not usability, but the restaurant was nice.
Cheers,
Jeff

Some friends of mine went to the "Javan Restaurant" in Los Angeles a couple of years ago. Not ureasonably they were hoping to experience some Javan cuisine for the first time.
Turned out that Javan = Home in Farsi. My friends enjoyed a lovely meal and it turned out that the owners had never thought that the name of the restaurant might be misleading!

My cousin used to waitress at a place called Tequila Mockingbird.
I think it was in Albuquerque or El Paso...
