You gotta check out the botanical gardens by the Capitol. Both outside and inside are brilliant.




I’m a sucker for blue doors but also liked the size of the glass as well as the old school door knob.

I really liked the detail above every window:


Something called Kabaji Grill appears to be building out a space on the 1300 block of Connecticut Ave south of Dupont Circle. Anyone know anything about this restaurant? Is it a chain?

And a few storefronts north on Connecticut we see that wireless services are expanding in all parts of DC. I believe this spot used to house a really nice stationary store. It’s getting harder and harder to find good spots for birthday cards…

4th and N Street, NW
While the sign itself isn’t that amazing, I’m hard pressed to find a better name than Hoagi House. Anyone ever lucky enough to try one when they were open?

Wow, this one located on Van Ness Street just west of Connecticut Ave, I think, blew me away. Does this style have a particular name? I’m not sure if it’s a museum or embassy or what. Anyone know? Thumbs up or down?


I really like these metro shots captured by Bogotron.

Wow, this house is huge. Normally I’m finding houses like this converted into condos. It’s cool to see one renovated without being chopped up. So what do you think of the home and renovations? It’s yours for $1,099,000.

Zengo is located at 781 Seventh Street, NW. I think this is the first “Latin-Asian” restaurant I’ve seen. Sounds interesting. I’m also intrigued by the “Latin-Asian” cocktails for happy hour? How’s the atmosphere? Any particular dishes you recommend?
