Georgia and Harvard St, NW
A reader reports:
“I went to Zippin Chickin Saturday for it’s soft grand opening around 1 p.m. It was going with an “opening day special menu” which seemed to have items discounted significantly. I got the “6 piece dinner platter,” which consisted of six chicken tenders, two sides (I chose french fries and collard greens), and either corn muffin (which I chose) or hush puppies. All of that cost a measly $9.
Back to the food: the chicken looked and tasted good–it wasn’t like rubbery chicken you get at fast food restaurants. Even better was that the breading on the fried tenders was not overdone. It added good flavor without overwhelming the chicken. The tenders came unsauced, while Zippin Chickin provided two small containers of Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce in the bag. The fries were good, and they were plentiful. The collard greens were also good, not too bitter and not overly salty. I thought they were just right. My fiance, who is an outstanding baker, loved the corn muffin, stating that the top had a good crunch and the cornmeal was not overly dry.
Although we didn’t get any drinks, Zippin Chickin was selling sodas for 50 cents.
I’m just happy that my little block on Georgia Avenue finally has somewhere I can get legitimate food, other than Howard China or Nu Vegan.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
