Thanks to Nicole for sending word about Grass & Co last week: “next to Metro Wine on Columbia Rd!” sorry I blanked on posting but better late than never!
“The Adams Morgan community has shown us a lot of love and we’re hoping to extend that love to the rest of DC. Stop by and say hello!”
So I guess it’s time we started talking grass for those who like grass. What’s your favorite kind? (kind, get it? God I’m gonna embarrass my daughters when they’re older.) But seriously, what’s the good stuff these days? My college self remembers Northern Lights but not much else. Hey wait a minute…

Great shot by Chris Chen (@furcafe) of the new Popeyes.
OK so maybe that little hotel will also contribute to this new era. Dan sends from the “42 bus as it was rushing by.”
Ed. Note: The dedication demonstrated by PoPville contributors knows no equal. And I am forever grateful.
This is the former Pollo Granjero space that closed back in August 2016.

Meat in a Box opened in between The Blaguard and Jack Rose back in 2013. It’s interesting to note that back in 2012 the previous tenant Absolute Pizza Kabab was listed for sale for $150,000.

For those who like lists, this is my NUMBER ONE most anticipated opening for 2017. Thanks to an eagle eyed reader for spotting this photo from *Wallpaper magazine of one of the bars coming inside the Line Hotel. It looks great.

With live music seven nights a week, ethnic cuisine from five continents and local shopping boutiques, Adams Morgan has something for everyone and delivers a uniquely rich way to experience the nation’s capital.”
STAY TUNED.

A reader reports:
“A man was robbed and beaten very badly last night around 11:00pm on Summit place and 18th St. Please pass this along, hope the man is ok, thank you. The Ontario apartments got an email, the neighbors heard the ambulance at 12am and was a big police presence. I live in the 1800 block of Summit and the crime was a block away. We have had few muggings around here but nothing like this.”
