Sweet big porch plus check out the cool design above the second floor windows.

I’ve never actually eaten at Veranda, pictured above, but it seems like a good hidden restaurant. My vote is for Little Fountain Cafe. It is not that hidden in that it is on 18th Street in Adams Morgan but it doesn’t have a prominent entrance. You actually have to walk downstairs below the bar called Angles. Anyway, Little Fountain Cafe is terrific if you haven’t tried it yet. It’s also a great spot to take a date. So what are your favorite hidden restaurants that may easily be missed if you don’t know where they are?
Here were the recommendations for best Italian, Sushi, Indian, falafel, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern.

Sorry to throw an admin question out there but I’ve been wondering how you guys would like to get the posts on PoP. Currently I do 15 every evening with 10 publishing right away and 5 timed to publish throughout the day from 11am-3pm. I’m wondering if you would prefer less posts published right away and have more time delayed throughout the day? Let me know what you think.

I can’t remember if I’ve ever posted this before but it made me laugh again so I had to put it up just in case. I wonder how the light bulb lit above the owner’s head – “Oh yeah, I know, I can cover the window with a twin size mattress. Of course! Why didn’t I think of this earlier?”

All of our neighborhoods should be lucky enough to have a liquor store like Good Libations located at 1201 5th Street (5th and M) in the Shaw neighborhood. This past Saturday Good Libations’ owner, Ronny, hosted a great customer appreciation event for the community. There was live music (Pete Muldoon and Ameen Saleem pictured above), sangria tasting, dominoes, empanadas, salsa dancing and lessons and an all around good time. Check out lots more photos after the jump. (more…)

I finally got some more details about this awesome development. It turns out Temperance Hall/Looking Glass Lounge Manager, Dan Searing, is one of the partners in the wine bar slated to come to 11th Street and Lamont. My opinion of this section of 11th Street continues to soar. One day I’m going to open up a satellite office on 11th Street!
So I spoke to Dan this evening to get some more details about the as of yet unnamed wine bar. He is partnering with Ben Gilligan (of the band French Toast), Nick Pimentel (of Toolbox Design, Yellow Fever DJs, and Gypsy Eyes and Planaria record labels) and Paul Ruppert. They are currently in the process of applying for a liquor license and they are looking forward to working with the ANC and the community at large to ensure a smooth transition. They hope to open up sometime in the Fall. Inside will seat up to 20 folks and outside will be a garden area that will seat up to 25.
Dan will continue working at Looking Glass Lounge in a part-time capacity.
This is a phenomenal development. What an awesome place to compliment Red Rocks, Wonderland, Bloombars, and Columbia Heights Coffee. And don’t forget we still have Meridian Pint coming as well. Beautiful.

Meridian Hill Baptist church is of course the church that was damaged by the terrible fire that decimated the apartment building on Mt. Pleasant Street a couple of months ago. It is located on some prime real estate on 16th Street. That’s really sad if they were forced to sell because they didn’t have proper insurance.
Now having said that, if they do end up selling what do you think this spot will become? Another church? Condos? Restaurant/club? Full photo after the jump. (more…)

These were some pretty wild ones. It turns out they belong to a super cool artist named J. Coleman. You can check out his Web site here. One more after the jump. (more…)
