One location will open in Union Market, which was once the largest food market in D.C. and is now the fastest growing neighborhood in the city. Located at 1259 4th St. NE, ramen fans can soon enjoy a delicious bowl while spending the day in this vibrant area. The other location will open in Georgetown at 1525 Wisconsin Ave NW, in one of the most historic areas of the District. With its focus on tradition and authenticity, JINYA Ramen Bar will fit in perfectly to its new home. (more…)

Friday Question of the Day: When will the DC E-Bike Program Launch? Will you buy one when it does?

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve been wondering what is going on with the DC E-Bike program that was passed last year. There was a lot of fanfare and then crickets. I signed-up for updates and have heard nothing at all.”

I think I heard it was supposed to launch in March or April. When it does will that push anyone towards purchasing an ebike? For those who have one already, do you recommend them?

“Dear PoPville,

Just noticed License Suspended at NuVegan, appears that the license on Georgia has been suspended as of February 14. Any idea why?”

I think this means they are delinquent in paying a business registration fee?
