237 2nd Street, NW
Last week we learned that Alibi Restaurant & Lounge would be taking over the former My Brothers Place space near Union Station. One of the owners got in touch with me and says plans are to open in December before the end of the year. Their website says:
“A British American Pub
As a nod to the history of Capital Hill, THE ALIBI is inspired by British traditions and influenced by local American products. The menu features slow roasts, fresh meat pies, fried fish, and other comfort foods made in house with age old techniques including braising, smoking, baking and pickling.
The beverage program draws from both countries as well, with traditional beers from the colonies and the mother country. Classic cocktails are kept simple, with a commitment to bringing out the artistry of these original recipes, while our modern cocktails introduce spices and herbs for a more exciting flavor profile.
Owners Martin (the Englishman) and Rachel (the American woman) are proud to be a part of this new chapter in history for the infamous building at 237 2nd Street Northwest. With restored exposed brick, wood floors and stained glass chandeliers, THE ALIBI provides an escape from the hectic, fast paced world right outside its doors of 21st century DC. Simple honest products as well as personable and stellar service give everyone from Senators to maintenance workers a reason to find a good alibi.”

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!
