It’s been a while since I posted just a regular condo. The inside looks pretty nice, with a fireplace and some exposed brick. What do you think of the condo itself? The asking price is $339,000, sound reasonable for this location?


A reader sent me an email that there was a bubble gum tree on 18th Street outside of Julia’s Empandas and suggested it might be a good Helen of Troy feature. I was so intrigued I headed over to 18th Street from 1st and R. And I’m glad I did. This is truly insane. Part of me thinks it is awesome and part of me thinks it’s rather foul. I suppose it’s an attempt at art? I think I’d be cooler with it if it was on a lamppost as I have a strong affinity for trees. What do you guys think?


We’ve briefly spoken about the Diner, located at 2453 18th Street, when speaking about the best breakfast in DC. But I’m curious to know more about The Diner in general. Do you recommend going there for lunch or dinner? Or should this be a strictly breakfast spot?


The Little Fountain Cafe is located in a hidden little spot below the bar Angles at 2339 18th Street, NW. Here’s a look at the menu. It’s a great date spot and the food is often excellent. Full disclosure – I know the owner and chef pretty well. I previously mentioned it briefly when we spoke about hidden restaurants. But what do you guys think – thumbs up or down? Do you like any particular dish?


I spotted this sign outside 1813 Columbia Road, NW in Adams Morgan near the Blockbuster. Despite the title of the post I do not believe it is affiliated with the bodega next door. I don’t believe it’s open yet, but from the looks of it the opening should be soon. I wonder if they’ll be able to compete with the cool looking Caliyogurt on 18th street a couple blocks away?


Crumbs & Coffee is located at 1737 Columbia Road, NW in Adams Morgan. I’m always on the lookout for good breakfast spots so I figured I’d see if there are any fans out there. I think the most important question is – do they have good egg sandwiches? And how are the bagels?


This one is located at 2713 Ontario Road, NW in Adams Morgan. We once spoke about it way back in the day. But I was stunned to see that it is still for sale. So I checked out some photos on redfin and it doesn’t look bad at all inside. So my question is – can a pop up look so bad from the outside that you’ll have an extra tough time selling? Or do you simply think they are asking too much ($569,999 for a 2 bed 2 bath 2 level condo)?
