PS 7’s is located at 777 I (Eye) Street, NW. You can see their menus here. Would this be a good option for restaurant week? Any fans out there in general?

I saw a twitpic from @PQliving on twitter and stopped by yesterday when I was checking out Ping Pong Dim Sum. The crepe place is now open off 7th Street near G by the entrance to the mall/Gallery Place movie theater. I’d love to sneak some crepes into the movie theater… Here’s a look at the menu:
Do those prices seem reasonable?
After the jump are the two other kiosks one opened and one coming soon. (more…)

Here’s the spot from 900 7th Street, NW that we discussed last week. I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek at a media preview. It’s a great big space covering 6100 square feet with a capacity of 238. Pictured above is the open kitchen and though I didn’t get to taste anything it smelled great. You can see the food menu below:
The bar was pretty nice as well.
Here’s an alcoholic bubble tea drink I got to try:

Continues after the jump. (more…)

From metro:
Metro Transit Police are investigating a preliminary report of an individual who was pushed into the side of a Red Line train. The train was stopped and servicing the platform at the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metrorail station at about 3:35 p.m. today (Nov. 30) at the time of the incident. The train was headed in the direction of Shady Grove.
The preliminary investigation indicates that two young men were involved in an altercation and one individual pushed the other into the side of the last car of a six-car train. The young man fell to the platform and was aided by local emergency medical first responders. The individual, a minor, was transported to a nearby hospital.
The incident train was held at the scene of the accident for 45 minutes. Customers on the Red Line experienced delays as a result of the incident. Red Line trains were taking turns sharing one track (single-tracking) between Farragut North and Judiciary Square Metrorail station while the train was being held at the scene.

Thanks to @Ray Swore for the heads up. I’m really excited to try this place out. I haven’t had Dim Sum in ages. It’s located at 900 7th Street, NW in Chinatown. You can see their Web site from England here. @shaw-girl on twitter says she stopped in and said they’re going to open Dec. 12th!

I think these from 7th Street look fantastic.

Just saw this application for Carmine’s Italian Restaurant coming to 425 7th Street, NW. It actually fills up two of the storefronts. Looks like it’ll be huge because it says the occupancy is 720. Not sure if that’s a typo I’m guessing it’s more like 220 but who knows. Here’s the application:

Anyone having problems here? A reader writes that they saw some sort of explosion at Gallery Place/Chinatown.<
@dcfireems from twitter says:
"Metro Ctr / Gallery Place smoke in tunnel and/or fire under train Metro Ctr being evac".
@metroopensdoors says:
"Red Line: Trains sharing same track btwn Judiciary Sq. & Farragut N. due to smoke on tracks at Metro Center. Delays in both directions."
More as details become available.
Update: 9:50am: From a reader:
“I was actually at the station when it happened — a little before nine this morning, the red line train heading to metro center was slowly leaving when the station when it seemed to cause a series of loud cracking noises. Each was louder than the next — finally, a loud boom and the station filled with smoke. I was able to get a picture of he cloud coming through the station, but it doesn’t do it justice. Traffic stopped immediately; and, as I caught the orange line, I think I heard the fire alarm go off. What’s really curious about the whole incident is that the train was stopped for a few minutes before leaving, as if they knew something was wrong.”
Another witness:
“I was actually on the train. What happened was at Judiciary Square we had to let a sick passenger off the train. Then pulling out of Gallery Place, there was a mechanical malfunction, followed by stopping and starting of the train and then a series of explosions (with little fire and sparks everywhere) under the first car and the car I was on, and there was smoke in some of the cars. People were freaking out about it, but we got to metro center safely and offloaded and no one was hurt or pushed off the train. (I commend the train operator for keeping everyone calm!)
The other person is right, we did hold at Gallery Place for a few minutes while the train conductor told us that there was a malfunction but she couldn’t let us into the tunnel and we were going to make it to Metro Center and then offload. Shortly after this announcement were the other explosions including the one outside my car, followed by the people yelling to stop the train, be let off, hit the emergency button, etc.”
Update 10:40am – Metro reports all’s back to normal:
“At 10:12 a.m., normal service has resumed on the Red Line after the removal of an outbound six-car train on the Red Line at Metro Center. The disabled train lost one of its collector shoes. Each train has four collector shoes which connect to the third rail.”

The Greene Turtle is located at 601 F Street, NW. From time to time folks ask me where is a good spot to go before an event at the Verizon Center. Some folks have mentioned this spot. I’ve never been but wonder what folks think of this spot? Is it just massively overrun with tourists or is it a decent sports bar?

Ping Pong will be located at 900 7th Street, NW between H and I Streets. Looks like it’s going to be a pretty big space. Have folks found other good Dim Sum spots in the city?
