“Dear PoPville,

There have been emergency no parking signs posted on the 1600 block of Kalorama NW for a construction setup area for the past 2 weeks, but no vehicles or equipment has been placed there during that time. There was construction on the sidewalk nearby that area a few weeks ago, but since that initial work, I have not seen any construction activity. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

My husband and I are doing a home refresh which includes updating our kitchen cabinets, redoing our bathroom, and adding HVAC. After doing some research, it looks like the DRCA’s Postcard Permit process is the way to go. From what I’ve read, it’s a quick process. But does anyone have any recent experience from this and know how quickly they issue a permit? Thanks!”

“Dear PoPville,

My wife Jean and I want to send a big thank you to all of the people on Shepherd Street NW for PorchFest on Saturday April 29. Our 13-month old Jack had a simple febrile seizure, and gave his parents quite a panic. We want to let the community know how grateful we were for your help calling 911 and keeping us calm. And we want to especially thank Dr. Christina Baviskar for stepping in and helping us. Jack is doing great and has made a speedy recovery. (more…)

From a press release:

“The sushi omakase, Japanese grill omakase and izakaya—three separate full-service concepts—will be joined by a fast-casual food hall later this year

Internationally renowned Japanese chef and restaurateur Makoto Okuwa, who kicked off his American culinary career as a sushi chef at DC’s beloved Sushi Taro, returns to Washington with the opening of Love, Makoto, a culinary love letter addressed to the city that welcomed him so long ago. Okuwa has partnered with Chef David Deshaies and Restaurateur Eric Eden—the homegrown restaurant team behind Unconventional Diner and L’Ardente—to bring about an ambitious Japanese culinary collection unlike any other. Located at 200 Massachusetts Ave. NW, the 20,000-square-foot space is adjacent to L’Ardente, with the sister restaurants sharing the entire first floor of the Capitol Crossing development in DC’s newly minted East End neighborhood.

“I’m so excited to return to Washington, D.C., to show this city where I have been since we parted, and how those journeys have informed my perspective as a chef,” says Okuwa. “With so many ways to experience Love, Makoto, we hope our diners return again and again—always finding something new to love.”

CONCEPTS

The Japanese culinary collection will open in two phases. (more…)
