And a pretty sweet trim too.

(Unless I find another really, really compelling one…) As is decently known, I’m pretty fond of fire escapes so I really dug the placement of this poster.

Please accept this fresh door knocker.

Normally, I’m not a huge fan of the red brick homes but I really liked the green painted wood around this one.

The sun was starting to set and I was struck how a ray of light was shining directly on the tree through this little entry. Stopped me dead in my tracks for like 5 minutes.

Since I’m in a celebrating mood I thought it’d be fun to do another house porn edition. This home is located at 1737 Johnson Ave, NW (and I just learned to embed google maps!).
The flier says:
“THE MOST DRAMATIC TRUE LOFT ON MARKET! 3BR/2BA DUPLEX PENTHOUSE BY ARCADIA DESIGN. 2-STORY OPEN LVG AREA W/ FLOATING HELICAL STAIRCASE, INTERIOR ATRIUM & 600+’ ROOF TERRACE. FINEST FINISHES INCL SPA BATHS & TRUE CHEF’S KIT. W/ SIE-MATIC, SUB-ZERO, VIKING & BOSCH. WINE CELLAR, GARAGE PARKING 1-2 CARS. IDEAL DUPONT/LOGAN LOCATION.”
More details and amazing photos found here.
I know it’s just for fun so you don’t really have to say if it’s a good deal or not, you can just enjoy the photos. I do always like “discovering” these small hidden streets. For the curious it is going for $1,675,000. Let me know if any wants to go in on it with me…

There were lots of good recommendations for best Chinese restaurant in the city back in August. But no one specifically mentioned one that I’ve always been curious about – Great Wall Szechuan House located at 1527 14th Street, NW. It obviously has a phenomenal name and looks like it should be delicious. Any supporters out there?

There’s a running joke in my family every time we go out to dinner. No matter what or who we are celebrating, everyone knows that my mother secretly wants to go to The Greek Village. And more often than not, that is where we end up. So, needless to say, I have many memories of meals shared with family at the little Greek joint in the strip mall in Commack, NY.
Even though I am not Greek myself, sometimes when I want a little “taste of home,” nothing will do but a gyro, or some spanakopita. I used to live in Cleveland Park, just a stone’s throw from Yanni’s – which became my go to spot. I often hit the Greek Deli, at 1120 19th St NW, during the work day but since I relocated a year and a half ago, trips to Yanni’s have been infrequent and I had yet to find a reliable Greek place close to home.
The other night, a craving hit, and I decided to finally visit the Greek Spot. It’s a little out of the way for me so it required a
special trip, but boy am I glad I made it! After work I took a walk down U Street all the way to 11th where just north of the intersection, at 2017 11th St, sits a hidden gem. Continues after the jump. (more…)
