Too bad that they don't use opportunities like this to install innovative stormwater... 
I assumed it was to catch busses driving down T St since they are not allowed to do so.

Not sure how you define "elegance," but those are Bellini chairs, which are rather well...
this seems super-staged and publicity driven. in any event, he already knew her, so...

Prince,
What a thrill! Thank you for showcasing the house. It was designed by famous Cap...
Ew, really? Can we please just stop the NYC-envy business’ seem to be projecting onto us?
*businesses ::goes to find more coffee before writing anything else::
I’m annoyed by the constinuation of SoHo (NoMa, AdMo, CoHi, LoMo, etc. etc. etc.) name, but it also makes me feel like I’m at a Greek wedding:
“nOPA!!!”
good one, jacquesofalltrades
That’s a pretty bad name. At first glance in the headline, I thought the name was Nope. Seems like a name that sets you up for bad review puns.
Do I want to eat there? Nopa!
Right?! They didn’t put together that their chosen name sounds like “nope”? Didn’t anyone learn anything from Chevy trying to sell the Nova in Mexico?!
Actually: http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/nova.asp
They could name it after Parks and Recreation and call it “Knopa.”
On an unrelated note, The Spy Mueseum is the biggest waste of time and money out there. Just horrible.
Speak for yourself. I really enjoyed my visit there.
Nope to NoPA! (Which should really be NoPe, anyway.)
And no mo’ to SoMo!
Stop trying to make Nopa happen.
Are Gallery Place, Chinatown and Penn Quarter not enough damn names for this neighborhood?
Ba-jay-jay would be better.
It’s an “American brasserie.” Any name was going to be stupid.
At first glance I was exciting, thinking that this would be a DC-location of San Francisco’s Nopa, an amazing restaurant (whose name is a shortened form of North of the Panhandle).
