Holy cow – another wine bar! Enology is located at 3238 Wisconsin Avenue, NW. Seems like this spot keeps turning over. So has anyone checked this place out yet? How does it compare to the other wine bars in town?

DC is not a sandwich city. This is a common lament from transplants who remember the delis back home and are looking for a little sustenance on a sub roll. Sure, there’s Litteri’s, So’s Your Mom, breadline, and the Chicken Madness at Wisey’s, but for a city of this size, it can seem like slim pickings.
David Mazza and Casey Patten are Philly transplants who recognized the need for a place to get a decent sub in DC and so they opened Taylor Gourmet earlier in the month. The folks over at Frozen Tropics have been holding their breath waiting for this spot to open at 1116 H St. NE for months now. And now that they have, it seems like a day doesn’t go by that a new positive review isn’t posted on a blog or, most recently, in the Post.
I recently dropped in on Taylor moments before the lunch rush and got to chat a bit with David, and of course, grab a sandwich and some risotto balls. My timing was great because 5 minutes after placing my order, the line was starting to form. I asked David what he recommended and he said that I had to give the 9th Street Italian a try. Perfect, because I’d been eying the menu for a while and that was precisely what I was thinking. I got a side of risotto balls and a soda from the Boylan’s fountain.

City Paper is reporting that the serial robber we’ve been talking about since Friday has accidentally been released.
Unbeknownst to top city authorities, the suspect—who has been identified as Michael Richardson, 18—was released by U.S. Marshals on Friday afternoon, Attorney General Peter Nickles tells City Paper this evening.
He remains at large.
After Nickles pressed for more information on the matter today, he says, police this afternoon discovered that Richardson had been released, and they’ve been searching for him ever since.
I feel like I’m watching a bad movie. Who’s to blame here?

I just can’t. I have to draw the line somewhere. I can support the peacock. Hell I even dig the peacock but a unicorn. C’mon.
Update: I can support this.

I’d never seen windows that jut out like this before. It’s pretty sweet.

“Got this at the Bloomingdale Farmer’s market last weekend — it was surprisingly DELICIOUS roasted — but don’t know what it is; it seems like a cauliflower/broccoli hybrid, but I am curious about the name. We dubbed it “The Thing That Came From the Deep” but maybe a PoP knows its real name?”
Hmm, I thought it might be a bread fruit. But then of course I remembered my days of field botany at Miami University and knew it must be a Broccoli Romanesque.
Actually the reader found out it was Broccoli Romanesque, I just like to brag about my training in field botany…
Has anyone tried a Broccoli Romanesque before?

Remember the mural of the baby whale that is about to get harpooned? This one is a few panels down. I’m starting to get worried for those kids…

A reader writes:
“The door is one of the doors to the throne room of Catherine the Great in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Its about 10-12 feet tall and made out of about 5 inches of solid oak. Some designs are etched and others are made out of gold.”

Anyone recognize where this one is from? It looks like it could be in the Hamptons.
