Thanks to Melodie for sending her great haul from Benning Ridge:
“Just picked all of this from our backyard so I thought I’d see if others still have their gardens going. Our plants are still going strong with no freeze in sight. Cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, peas, green peppers, hot peppers, radishes.”

From a press release:
“Chandelier, an ultra-luxe 180-seat steakhouse and seafood concept inspired by globally recognized, experience-driven fine-dining restaurants in London, Turkey and Dubai, will debut within weeks at 1201 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, steps from the White House, Old Post Office tower and more.
The most upscale of offerings from DC-based Keystone Hospitality Group (ZOOZ, Urban Roast), Chandelier is where luxury hospitality and memorable design meet culinary excellence, where diners can enjoy the escapism of a decadent night out enveloped by atmosphere, incredible food and frictionless – if occasionally theatrical – service.
Practically lined in black marble and sumptuous crimson leather, with 23 chandeliers, concierge-style host stand, waterfall and fireplace feature, and grand piano for regular live music, the restaurant’s design evokes Art Deco glam. Hovering over the massive, oval-shaped bar (with seating for more than 40) is Chandelier’s namesake, a 40-foot custom chandelier, bathing guests in the ideal light for a slightly less formal dinner or cocktails, while a wine-lined private dining room with towering ceilings and private entry is perfect for seated events of up to 36 guests.

Tenor Matthew Polenzani and pianist Ken Noda bring their celebrated artistry to an intimate and searching evening of song at the French Embassy.
Opening with Franz Schubert’s Schwanengesang, the composer’s final and perhaps most profound gift to the song repertoire. This cycle, whose title evokes the legendary swan’s last song before death, moves through landscapes of longing, loss, and transcendence, setting texts by Heine and Rellstab with visionary intensity. Together, Polenzani and Noda explore every shade of this journey, a collaboration illuminating both the aching vulnerability and the quiet, inexorable beauty that make Schwanengesang an enduring pinnacle of song.
