I love Seaton Place in Bloomingdale, it seems like a very quiet block with beautiful homes. What do you think of this particular home? The “chef’s kitchen”? Does $614,777 seem reasonable for this 5 bed/3.5 bath?

Judging Restaurants – 7th Hill and Monmartre

By Prince Of Petworth

7th Hill Pizzeria and Monmartre are located at 327 7th St SE near Eastern Market. They are owned by the same folks and 7th Hill only recently opened up. My friends tell me the pizza was great. Anyone else check them out yet? Sorry to combine the two but it seemed to make sense. You can see Monmatre’s menus here.

Finally Some IHOP News – And It’s Good News!

By Prince Of Petworth

When I first broke the news, in April, that IHOP was considering coming to DC USA in Columbia Heights there was a huge reaction – mostly positive. As I’ve received numerous inquiries from readers about the status – this should be some welcome news. A reader writes:

“I went to the Pleasant Plains Civic Association meeting this past Saturday, where the association’s president announced that IHOP signed something (letter of intent or lease or something) that ensures they’re coming to DCUSA!”

Oh yeah! And I’ve got more good news coming later this week…

Some Seriously Sweet (Literally) Scuttlebutt

By Prince Of Petworth

Ever since Circle Boutique closed their doors at 1736 14th Street, NW I’ve been wondering what may go into that spot. Now keep in mind, whenever I use scuttlebutt in the title, it is just that, scuttlebutt. Rumor. Hearsay.  I did hear it from a very reliable source but I don’t believe anything is in stone at the moment.

Nevertheless, I’m pretty excited about this possibility. I’m hearing that Crepes-a-Go-Go may open up another location at this spot. They currently have a store at 2122 P Street, NW. You can see their menu here. Any fans? Think a crepe spot will work for this location on 14th near Logan Circle?

New Park Coming to Columbia Heights

By Prince Of Petworth

“Justice Park” is coming soon to Euclid Street, NW just west of 14th Street. It is a pretty decent sized lot so it’s nice to see another park on the way.

Door of the Day

By Prince Of Petworth

This one has a lot going on. You can see right away that there is a cool stained glass transom but if you look through the external glass doors the inner door has stained glass as well. Pretty fresh. I can only imagine there is a pretty sweet vestibule as well…

House of the Day

By Prince Of Petworth

Another from Capitol Hill. I’m totally digging that window/balcony.
