Notes From Up in North Country – “Colorado Corner”

Thanks to a reader for sending this great update of what’s going on north of Grant Circle:

Meridian is a newly-opend upscale restaurant in bar in the neighborhood where Colorado meets Missouri & Georgia. The Washington Post’s Tom Seitsma reviewed it in this Sunday’s magazine section: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/08/AR2008050802517.html?sub=AR Also, here is a link directly to the restaurant: http://www.meridianrestaurant.com/welcome.html The staff is the best–I have not met a better one in DC!

Lily’s Cafe and Panini Shop (on Colorado, just north of Kennedy): Congratulations to Lily for the birth of her happy, healthy baby boy!!! The patio is now open.

1400 Longfellow Street NW, one block north of Colorado, Kennedy & 14th, has sold 9 out of 10 units and has one 1 BR left, in the year-old development.

The International Guest House on Kennedy, between 16th Street & Colorado is a great place to have guests from out of town stay–it’s very inexpensive! http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/district-of-columbia-washington-internationalguesthouse.html

Carter Barron Ampitheatre in conjunction with the Shakespeare Theater Company begins showing ‘Hamlet’ (for FREE) toward the end of the month. For details, see http://www.nps.gov/rocr/planyourvisit/cbarron.htm
