Thanks to a reader for sending:

“So, I noticed that a new Gelato store is going into the Metropole’s empty retail space next to Lulu Lemon.

There’s now a sign up in the window though. Pintango Gelato coming soon!”

The Washington Business Journal wrote back in June:

“”It’s basically going back to the original gelato where it’s a very simple and wholesome dessert, without coloring,” [Noah] Dan said. Prices will range from $4.77 for a regular portion to about $6 for a large serving, big enough for two people, he said. All the gelato will be made in-house, using organic and locally farmed ingredients.”

Any gelato fans out there? How does it differ from regular ice cream?


Now this is truly odd. I had seen some archways between rowhomes that were apparently used as an entry for horses back in the day but this is completely different. The small door to the left is actually in the front of the house. Any idea what the story is here?

Ed note: I reserve the right to use this as a future caption contest…


Also comes the return of the best spot for a morning cup of coffee. Though I think this spot could use an ottoman for maximum comfort…


Damn this is a good one. Sweet stonework and finally another vestibule.


I thought this one was a bit wild. It looks like a normal rowhouse but it’s detached.


Columbia Heights Coffee located on 11th Street between Park and Monroe is offering a pretty good breakfast special. Though I have to admit, I’ve become pretty addicted to the egg sandwiches and tater tots over at Red Derby… Any other good breakfast specials out there?
