Comet: The Happiest Place on Earth

Chevy Chase, Washington DC is a sleepy neighborhood populated by white people (middle-aged peeps, WASPs, Volvos, lawyers, helicopter parents and their ipad loving spawn). But in the center of it all, is a little taste of Brooklyn. Hipsters abound. This place is Cara’s heaven and Liza’s limboland. And the only place they hang out.

What is this magical place you ask?

Comet Ping Pong, baby.

By day, Comet Ping Pong is a mecca for local families to eat fancy pizza and play ping pong, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dive enthusiasts, and Groupon holders. But by night, things get sexy.

Bartender Josh keeps the drinks flowing and the tunes pumping. He spends his time sassily serving PBRs, mixologizing, and dancing the night away to the likes of Backstreet Boys and Ace of Base. He also does a good job making sure barfly Dana stays out of trouble.

The King of Smug, Bryce Reh, says gems like, “Liza, you were a C grade waitress, but you’re B grade now” or “My wife is the best at everything because she’s Serbian” and “I’m not gay because I’m married.”

Everyone does their job well and parties hard afterwards. Especially, self proclaimed “God’s Gift to Comet,” Matty PG. 

On any given day, you can find Milena “Complaina," mumbling expletives under her breath, Cory’s cute children merrily traipsing around the premises, Marshall and Brian bro-loving it up, and Liza eating pizza of off other people’s plates.

So come get greasy @ Comet Ping Pong! Exercise your mind at trivia, hit up a Sasha Lord Presents rock n’ roll show, or just sip some drank and dance to some Britney, b*tch.
