“Dear PoP,
I wanted to draw your attention to a new local restaurant. My family and I tried Restaurante El Don at 14th and Webster last night. The woman working there said that they opened on June 1. It’s a Peruvian chicken place, with a few other items such as carne asada. We had the chicken and it was delicious. The prices were great as well. It’s a lot like Pollo Rico in Arlington and Wheaton, if you are familiar with those.”
Lots of food news this week but this is great news. I know people love Pollo Rico so if this is anywhere as good they should do very well. So all the Pollo lovers, check them out and let me know what you think! Is Pollo Rico the best Peruvian chicken in the DC area?

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!
