1317 14th Street, NW
From a press release:
“Co-owners and close friends Vipul Kapila, Chef Sanjay Mandhaiya and Chef Shankar Puthran announce plans to open Pappe, an Indian neighborhood restaurant, in DC’s bustling 14th Street neighborhood. Pappe, which means ‘brother’ in Punjabi, is an affectionate term the three friends use to refer to one another. The trio bonded over Vindaloo at Chef Mandhaiya’s Northern Virginia restaurant Saffron and wanted to bring an authentic Indian restaurant within a refined yet playful setting to Washington. Pappe, located at 1317 14th Street, NW, will open later this spring. (more…)

Update on “D.C.’s Historic Spy House” across from the Russian Embassy in Glover Park.
“Dear PoPville,
A new 40-foot-tall building is being proposed for the lot at 2619 Wisconsin Avenue, NW. The new structure to be developed by MED Developers is intended to be used as an assisted living facility.
The plans for the lucrative parcel of land resemble MED Developers’ previous plans for a Ward 3 homeless shelter that was to be built on the same spot (plans that were dropped after an investigation by the Washington Post).
The new structure would require demolishing the infamous “Spy House,” used for decades by the FBI to spy on the Russian Embassy. The proposed facility would also violate multiple zoning regulations in this residential neighborhood due to its size and scale.
MED Developers are seeking numerous special exceptions from the Board of Zoning Adjustment in order to move forward with the plans, including a special exception to build a facility in a neighborhood zone for single family homes and an exemption from limitations on parking.”

“Dear PoPville,
When a DC street parking meter is broken, how do you avoid a ticket AND officially register a request for repair? I know how to request a repair, dialing 311 gets you to the central phone line for DC parking meter repair requests but the voice mail states reporting a broken meter will not excuse a ticket. I’ve had a couple incidents lately where meters were broken, and I’d love to hear anyone’s experience with this regarding how to use the space but not receive a ticket: (more…)
