From The Potter’s House:
“On Wednesday, May 20, The Potter’s House will reopen its doors after going dark for more than two months during the coronavirus pandemic.
This nonprofit neighborhood institution, much-beloved in its Adams Morgan community, celebrated its 60th anniversary in April. It’s one of the longest-running enterprises in the city and one that has survived many hardships in the past.
But it’s much more than a cafe and bookstore — The Potter’s House is a hub of connection, a safe and welcoming gathering place for a deeply diverse community. Its reopening offers a ray of much-needed sunshine to the city. It’s a reassurance that The Potter’s House will continue to be here to offer hospitality, welcome, and comfort — even in the midst of a global pandemic. (more…)

Sarah asks: “I thought I saw a post a while ago about Starbucks having walk up windows somewhere in dc. Is that the case? Can’t find it anywhere now.”
We has a long coffee talk on March 17th but that as we know, was a lifetime ago. So what do you guys do for coffee these days? Anyone going out to pick up a cup? If so where? If brewing at home, what are you brewing up? And where do you get it from? Grocery store? Retail shop? Delivered?
