From Jack Rose (2007 18th Street, NW):
“Since making their debut on Jack Rose Dining Saloon’s menu in 2014, the beloved bourbon-glazed whiskey wings have become a permanent mainstay on the Adams Morgan spot’s menu, with devotees across the country.

Thanks to Tim for passing on the terrible news from Pleasant Pops:
“We are saddened to announce that we will be closing our doors on Sunday, November 29, 2020 due to a vacate notice. After a successful 8 years of business, it is with a heavy heart that we announce our departure from our flagship location. Thank you to the Adams Morgan community — a community that has so generously and graciously given us endless memories and a place to call home.

“Dear PoPville,
Full disclosure: I am not a family member, nor a long-time friend of the owners & have met them only twice! Just like to help out anyone brave enough to open in these times & do a wonderful job in doing so.
Just in time for the shopping season, Adams-Morgan has a great new vintage home goods & gift shop called 1830dc, located at 1830 Columbia Road, NW.
Run by the knowledgeable & engaging Greg & Wendy, the shop is a treasure trove of fun & beautiful, practical & whimsical things. They have an amazing eye for exceptional wares & an equally exceptional way of displaying them. (more…)

Johnny’s Half Shell opened June 21, 1999 in Dupont Circle, and today we let you know that our last meal was served on March 14th, 2020. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I live in a historic, rent-controlled apartment building in Adams Morgan. Yesterday, my landlord emailed all the tenants in the building to let us know he would be doing a walk through of each unit. Today, I got a knock on the door and was met with 5 strangers, 2 of whom were wearing masks with the logo of a real estate development firm on it. (more…)
