A reader passes on the sad news from Paste & Rind yesterday:
“I’m writing with some tough news.
After deep and painful consideration, I’ve arrived at the decision to indefinitely suspend bar operations at the end of this year and all operations in early 2026.
– We will have regular bar hours through December except for Christmas Day (Thursday 12/25), with our last service being Sunday 12/28.
– We will continue to operate our stand at the Trinidad Market through December and into 2026 as we work through inventory.
-We will also be at the Arboretum Winter Festival & Christmas Tree Sale 2025 this Saturday 12/6 and the Procrastinator’s Holiday Market on Saturday 12/20.
– Our last Trolley Club boxes will be picked up or delivered the first week of January.
To everyone who has supported me and patronized Paste & Rind over the course of this journey, thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart. (more…)

D Light first opened here back in November 2021. Went through some tough times over the years.
“Dear PoPville,
I was walking in Adams Morgan yesterday and came across the owner of Dlight cafe whom I know well. She informed me that they have permanently closed down. So unfortunate for the neighborhood. It was sold by the original Ukrainian sisters to this owner in January 2024. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My neighbors’ twin boys do an annual toy-drive for children’s national. Several years ago Savi battled leukemia and both he and his brother know the generosity of strangers during holiday season as people made sure both Savi AND Marcel received gifts as they celebrated the holidays in the hospital. In the years since, they collect gifts for about six weeks and ensure that every single pediatric cancer patient AND THEIR SIBLINGS can have a festive holiday with gifts, even if they’re cooped up in the hospital. Last year they collected so many that they had to ask a moving company to help them deliver.”
