I think Saf mentioned in the comments that you can get a mean potato knish here. Very good to know. Cafe Mozart is located at 1331 H Street, NW. And it is also apparently a German deli. But most important to me – how is the schnitzel?

Jazz in the Sculpture Garden, located at 7th Street and Constitution Avenue NW, is a blast. When the weather is warm as it was last Friday it is hard to find a better way to spend your early evening. The concerts go from 5:00PM to 8:30PM and you can find the full schedule here. I hadn’t been for a while and forgot how fun it was. It’s a great spot for a picnic or just to put your feet in the fountain.
And don’t forget the cool sculptures:

I mentioned this spot in the H Street, NE PoPtrekker last week. Well, I was just able to attend their media preview and it is pretty damn sweet. The H Street Country Club is located at 1335 H Street, NE. It has two very distinct feels. On the first floor, pictured above, you have a more bar/restaurant type setting with a bar near the entrance and further to the back you have two pool tables, two shuffle board tables, some tvs, a jukebox, and some skee ball.
Upstairs is where it gets really interesting. Why? Because that is where you can find the indoor putt putt. Which is as insane in reality as it sounds. But it is awesome. It is a 9 hole course with names like U Street, K Street Lego Lawyers, The Awakening of Marion Barry etc. It will cost $7 dollars.
Upstairs, in addition to the putt putt course, you’ll also find another bar, another jukebox, and tables.
I didn’t have the chance to sample any food but you can see the menu here. I did however sample the guava margarita that very nearly kicked my ass. I imagine the drinks will make putt putt slightly more interesting. You can see the drink menu here.
I have to say this place really seems like it is set up to be a huge success. And that I think will probably be it’s only flaw. Given the fact that this place is so unique, I really believe it’s going to be smashed crowded. I suspect that may get a bit frustrating if you’re waiting on line for the putt putt.
Nevertheless, the uniqueness of this spot is surely something to be applauded. Now if only they had a ping pong table…
The grand opening will be Wed., May 27th. Enjoy! Lots more photos of the 6,800 square foot space after the jump. (more…)

Apparently in parts of Crestwood. This is near the corner of 18th and Taylor, NW. As I mentioned during the house of the day, I managed to get lost walking around Crestwood. I could’ve sworn I was walking south but somehow ended up north. Anyway, at a certain point I noticed the strangest thing – the sidewalks vanished. I had to walk in the streets like a vagabond. This is something I might expect to see in the far out suburbs or exurbs. But in the city proper. Granted, it is a very lovely quiet neighborhood, but no sidewalks. Terrible. Anyone know why the sidewalks vanish here?

Um, yeah, have at it! You’re captions in the comments and the winner will be picked Friday.

This guy is quite the globetrekker, I think this is his third entry! He writes:
“This is Parliament Square, with many statues of important historical figures. There are only two statues of non-Brits here: Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincoln. In the background you can see the statue of Winston Churchill. And that big clock thingy.
We went on to a pub called “The Lamb and Flag” (unofficially known as the “bucket of blood” from years earlier when there was prize fighting going on there). Someone who lives near Petworth, West Sussex, 40 miles from London, was confounded how an American would have such a shirt.”

And some random questions:
Can someone recommend a good place to get an oil change? I sadly must be a bit of a masochist and keep going back to Jiffy Lube.
and
Can someone recommend a good dentist?

It was a good couple of weeks for murals in the city. This one is simple but came out looking really nice. (Upshur Pool is located at 14th and Upshur, NW)

Wow. I’ve never seen a frame like this one. I think it looks pretty cool, you?

Bunch of cool ones up in Crestwood. Ed. note: I somehow managed to get lost while walking around Crestwood but found some sweet houses that way. I must of looked insane to folks as I was mumbling “where the hell am I” over and over again and then stopping to take pictures. Ha. Sorry bout that.
Sweet details on this house.
