Back in June I mentioned that Taylor’s was opening up a second location in the Mt. Vernon Triangle neighborhood (485 K St., NW in the City Vista building). Tuesday evening they had a pre-opening for bloggers/media etc. This spot opens to the public on Friday at 11am. I asked about their delivery radius but they weren’t 100% certain yet. They may deliver as far as Logan Circle and areas of Dupont. More on the delivery radius when it becomes finalized. As I said before, the folks who live nearby are supremely lucky to get this addition.

I am happy to report that the sandwiches were as delicious as they are at their original H Street, NE location. I always get one of the prosciutto sandwiches. This one had prosciutto, provolone, roasted red peppers and lettuce:

The store looks great too, it had a very similar feel and look to the original store. I thought the lights were the coolest part:

This Stan’s sign has been featured before in “capturing sweet city signs” but I thought the sub-sign was really odd. Good luck! Your captions in the comments section and winner announced Friday.


Someone mentioned this exhibit back in a previous comment thread last week. I checked it out last weekend and gotta say – it’s kinda cool. I know it’s basically an advertisement but man these are some creative ads. Anyone else check them out? The exhibit, Red Bull Art of Can, is up at Union Station until Oct. 19th. You can see the full gallery online here. What do you guys think – cool or kitsch?


This is pretty good for Halloween but I think it would kinda freak me out the rest of the year…


Lots of details all around here. The windows below the stained glass, I thought, were particularly unusual. In a good way…


I thought these were two cool looking pop ups from the Capitol Hill area. Not sure if they’re original construction or additions. Which do you like better?


New tavern coming to 501 8th Street, SE on Barracks Row. The alcohol license says it will be a tavern featuring regional and seasonal combinations of local seafood with recorded music. The occupancy is 49 with an additional 32 for the sidewalk cafe.

In the meantime check out the murals adorning the building after the jump. (more…)
