Chinatown Gate

Many tourist-destination metropolitan Chinatowns can be distinguished by large red arch entrance structures known in Mandarin Chinese as Paifang (sometimes accompanied by mason lion statues called "fu lions" on the opposite sides of the street that greet visitors). They usually have special inscriptions in Chinese. Historically, these gateways were donated to a particular city as a gift from the Republic of China government (such as Chinatown, San Francisco) and business organizations—an exception is long-neglected Chinatown in Havana, Cuba, which received materials for its paifang from the People's Republic of China as part of Chinatown's gradual renaissance. Construction of these red arches was also financed by local financial contributions from the Chinatown community. Some span an entire intersection and some are smaller in height and width. Some paifang can be made of wood, masonry, or steel and may incorporate an elaborate or simple design.

Only the most awesome chicken in DC. I first discovered them in Australia in 2000 and thought I'd never see it again. Then one popped up just down the street...
Nando's is a fast-food restaurant chain originating from South Africa with a Portuguese-theme. Nando's specializes in chicken dishes with either lemon and herb, medium, hot or extra hot peri-peri marinades (properly known as Galinha à Africana). Side dishes such as spicy rice, chips (with either Chicken Salt, or Peri Peri Salt), coleslaw, corn on the cob (mealies), cous cous, portuguese rolls or side garden salads.
In Canada, Bangladesh, South Africa, Australia, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, Kuwait, Lebanon and New Zealand, a large number of their restaurants are halal. All their restaurants in Malaysia are halal. One branch of Nando's in South Africa is kosher (Savoy Kosher Nando's).
