Urban Sustainable Gardening Store Closes in Adams Morgan

By Prince Of Petworth


1787 Columbia Road, NW

Back in May 2010 we learned that the Urban Sustainable gardening store was planning on coming to 1787 Columbia Road, NW in Adams Morgan. Their Web site explained:

Our passion at Urban Sustainable is to promote the transformation of the urban resident into the urban farmer by providing the highest quality, best service, and widest selection of innovative growing supplies. With new technologies, cutting-edge growing techniques, and years of experience, we educate local communities on the value of growing food for personal consumption, and we provide everything they need to make the garden of their dreams a reality. Our ultimate aim is to facilitate sustainable, environmentally conscious living through urban agriculture.

On Wed. June 13th they announced that they have closed:

“Urban Sustainable is now CLOSED! We are relocating soon to the mid-west, look for details to be posted shortly.”

Prior to Urban Sustainable, 1737 Columbia Road was home to a locksmith.

PoP Pho Patrol: Owner of Pho 14 To Open 2nd Restaurant in Adams Morgan

1769 Columbia Rd, NW

Dear PoPville,

I just noticed that there is a new construction permit up at the old Pizza Hut location on 1769 Columbia Road. The Permit is for alterations by owner and the owner is listed as Tommy Hoang. A quick google of Tommy Hoang + DC shows that he is behind Pho 14.

Pizza Hut closed at 1769 Columbia Rd, NW back in Aug. 2011. Pho 14 is the super popular joint at 1436 Park Rd, NW in Columbia Heights. You can see their menu here.

The owner Mr. Hoang writes me:

“To us, it has been a true honor and privilege to have served the Columbia Heights community for the past years, we hope to continue to promote our culture and food throughout other locations in the District.”

CityPaper reported yesterday that they plan on opening in late summer/early fall. Updates as construction progresses. Great news for Adams Morgan!

Some Serious Beer Pong Rules

By Prince Of Petworth

I once played a vicious game of vodka pong. It ranks very high on the list of stupidest things I’ve ever done in my life. Even though it was almost ten years ago, it still hurts thinking about it…

Bottoms Up Bar Changing Decor in Adams Morgan

By Prince Of Petworth

Back in the day the Bottoms Up bar, located at 2309 18th St, NW, used to have an upside down woman in their front window. Now they have a duck out front. I felt that was worth sharing on the Friday before a three-day weekend…

Any fans of Pi Pizzeria or the bar downstairs?

Duchess and The Queen to Become a Belgian Bistro and Brew Pub

By Prince Of Petworth


2102 18th Street, NW

Back in March 2012 I shared some scuttlebutt saying that the old Duchess and The Queen at 2102 18th Street, NW in Adams Morgan was possibly going to become a wine bar. A new liquor license posting has more details:

“The new restaurant will be a Belgium bistro, with a sidewalk Café with 12 seats, the establishment will have a seating capacity of 160, and a total occupancy load of 280. There is an entertainment endorsement. This will also include a Brew Pub.”

Awesome!
