"Friday nights at Akeno Sushi Bar and Thai are the epitome of a good time. To get to the Capitol Hill restaurant you have to climb a set of steps that lead to a secret alcove covered with blooming pink cherry blossoms and red and blue Japanese lanterns. Bring a group of friends for a round of drinks from the restaurant's tiki-bar-esque cocktail menu, and spend a few mindless hours sipping on matcha sours and lavender gin fizz while downing impeccably crafted soft shell crab tempura.
