Terrif location, just off Lincoln Pk.”

“Hey there – my neighbor’s place just went on the market. $709K asking. We’ve had 3 houses sell on our block in the last 2 mos for over asking, so I’d be curious what folks think of this one. I went to the Open House today, and the place is absolutely gorgeous.”
I think it’s a good looking house but I don’t know 10th Street, NE that well. What do you guys think of the house and of course does $709,000 sound reasonable?

When we judged Cafe Mozart I asked about the schnitzel and some folks mentioned Cafe Berlin located at 322 Massachusetts Avenue, NE. I know they have a great outdoor dining area. It’s a good place to stop when visiting friends on the hill. I’m wondering if you think it’s a destination spot though? Is it worth the travel for their schnitzel? Any other items of note?

Back in October Kenny’s was briefly mentioned when we discussed the best BBQ in the city. But I thought it deserved its own proper review. Kenny’s is located at 732 Maryland Ave, NE. Any particular favorites from this spot? What’s the best – pork, chicken or beef?
Speaking of BBQ Tom Siestma wrote last week in the GOG:
“Hill Country, the big barn of a barbecue joint in New York, is coming to Washington, courtesy of its founder, Bethesda native Marc Glosserman. While the self-service restaurant is still a year away from opening in Penn Quarter (at 410 Seventh St. NW), some of us are already licking our lips in anticipation of a slab or two of the signature dry-rubbed, slow-smoked brisket and ribs.”
