When you just want to breathe, to get away from the madness, to sit, to think, to forget, to remember, to smile, to cry, to breathe – where do you go?
Friday Question of the Day
1117 V Street, NW
This week’s question is a reader request that came in after our lament for those that have departed, OP asks for our favorites that have been around for a while and are still around!
I’ll put my vote to Izakaya Seki pictured above, which remains an incredible delicious gem. Your old(er) school favorites that are still around?

Do you have emergency funds set aside? How long are folks thinking it will last? Are you concerned about making rent/paying bills? For those who are in good financial shape – how do you plan on using your time?
Ed. Note: If specials are offered like last time I’ll be sure to post them.
I’m still digesting yesterday’s news about Pines of Florence returning to DC…
If you had the power, besides Marvin and Millie & Al’s, what favorite restaurant/bar/store would you bring back from the dead?

“Dear PoPville,
Is there any way to donate to a cause and not then receive 100 more solicitations, emails, calendars, address stickers, note pads or other junk? (more…)
1815 Columbia Rd NW
Speaking of quits, I think the old Footaction across the street closed here back in 2010, can’t find my original post but it was around then and it’s been vacant ever since. Seems like a prime spot to be vacant for so long. Any guesses as to why? Simply asking too much? It’s been vacant since well before any pandemic issues.

My phone is a bit more than 3 years old and is starting to fail on me. The whole screen just turns black after being fully charged. But 3 years seems awfully fast to replace it. Or am I delusional? How often do you replace your phones? Laptops? Do you just wait for it to fail, whenever that happens, and replace them then? Curious on overage how long that tends to be for you guys.
A reader sent in a pretty upsetting scooter crash the other day and was curious why we rarely see riders wearing helmets. In the same vein of wearing seat belts in cars, shouldn’t we wear helmets to prevent possible injuries when scooting? For those who scoot – do you wear a helmet? For cyclists, do you wear a helmet when riding?
Ed. Note: This question is not intending to place blame on the rider for the crash.
Tis the season where lots of folks are having friends and family visit DC – and are wondering what to do with them?!? So where are your favorite places to take tourists these days? Bonus points for places to take little kids? Older parents?

Welp, after 3.5 years Covid finally got me. Walloped me pretty good but starting to feel much better now! But hopefully you haven’t noticed here. Anyway, I’ve been quarantined from my family and watching a fair bit of Netflix when I can’t read anymore. So, having just finished Beauty Queen of Jerusalem (on Netflix), I’m ready for another good foreign series. What are some foreign series you’ve enjoyed recently? (we had a fun chat about this back in 2012.) Please let us know what service the show streams on too.
