Back in Aug. 2012 we noted the new Toledo Lounge had closed for renovations. The original Toledo Lounge was sold back in Feb. 2011 to the owners of the Black Squirrel and Ventnor Cafe. Libertine has finally arrived featuring “one of the country’s largest absinthe selections”.
Update. Thanks to Libertine for a sending a photo of the inside and the menus:
From a press release:
“Libertine, a cocktail house and bistro, located at 2435 18th Street NW in Adams Morgan, will hold its grand opening on Tuesday (July 9), starting at 5 p.m.
Libertine features one of the country’s largest absinthe selection with 30 different labels, many that were specially ordered from Europe, 10 specialty cocktails and four cocktail draft lines, a potpourri of small-batch spirits and locally produced wines, and craft beer draft lines. Flights of draft cocktail are available.
The name Libertine is a nod to the absinthe and spirits program as well as free-thinkers and those who live an unrestrained life. (more…)

From a press release:
“To celebrate their 9th Annual Bastille Day Block Party and French Maid Race, L’Enfant Café Bar adds aerialists to a line-up that includes a French maid race, can-can dancers, masquerade ball and raffle for two round-trip tickets from Washington (DCA) to Paris (CDG), courtesy of U.S. Airways. The party runs 3-11 p.m. on Saturday, July 13. Says co-owner Jim Ball, “We are sticklers to tradition and will celebrate Bastille Day on Saturday night – along with the French. Vivre le time difference!”
In less than a decade, this event has grown to become the largest Bastille Day party in the Western Hemisphere. Co-hosted by King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette – who look a strikingly similar to L’Enfant’s co-owners Jim Ball and Christopher Lynch – L’Enfant’s Bastille Day Block Party will take over Vernon Street, NW, between 18th and19th Streets. Doors open at 3p.m. The street party concludes at 11p.m.
Entry to D.C.’s most revolutionary summer party is $6.
Guests are invited to chill to DJs and enjoy five street bars serving beer:
Stella Artois, Hoegaarden and Leffe, white wine and a vodka cocktail. A food truck station will offer refreshments from popular purveyors including DC Slices, Rito Loco and Pleasant Pops.
French maid relay race will start at 6 p.m. L’Enfant will provide costumes for 40 competitors. Racers must each wear the extremely short black and white dress to participate. The winner is the first to fill a Champagne glass with soupspoons of water by running back and forth across the street the coupe. Says Ball, “It’s got all of the fun and excitement of the Grand Prix, and none of the elegance.”
After the race, DJ booths will be rolled into Vernon Street and Queen Marie Antoinette will gift all attendees with a mask.”
Full Schedule of events after the jump. (more…)

Despite the popularity of Ernie the Flying Dog, Romo from Adams Morgan is the most photographed dog to appear on the site. I was very upset to read the following post from the forum:
Hey guys! I live in Adams Morgan and love seeing the big white dog, whose name is apparently Romo, hanging out his window on Calvert people watching in the summertime. I haven’t seen him recently, though, and noticed his owners put a plaque outside their window that says his name, Romo. I wonder if he passed away? That would be terribly sad!
Upon investigation I am happy to report Romo is alive and well! I stopped by yesterday and could see him looking out the window:
He just got a nice new name plate. So now when you walk by Calvert Street and see a big dog relaxing by/out the window – you can say – what’s up Romo?

Back in Oct. 2012 we noted that Pizza Kebab was for sale in Adams Morgan. Looks like they have a buyer – Meat in a Box – serving Kebabs and pizza. You can see their Falls Church menu here. Eater DC reports if they get their permits they could open in as soon as 10 days. Anyone ever try the Falls Church location?
“Dear PoPville,
What’s going on at 18th and Wyoming? Cut off for some kind of basketball tournament? No pedestrians allowed.”
A reader on twitter tells us:
“Nike commercial, according to the aquatic center staff this am.”
Thanks to A reader for sending the good news:
“Big news… National Zoo personnel with help of MPD just captured lost red panda at corner of 19th and Biltmore!”
