Victoria reports:
“I was lamenting last week about The Heights becoming a sports bar – but now have some great updates. Most spectacularly – they now offer sushi! With a real (as far as I could tell – he came out to thank me last night for ordering it) Japanese sushi chef. I just had one roll, but it was really good. This is the one thing we’ve been longing for in Columbia Heights, and probably enough for me to put up with all the football screens.
Also, the bar will not be totally gone. It will be smaller to make room for the self-serve beer taps, but still at least there. For the self-serve beer taps, you will buy a card – like at Kinkos – and do some computer-thingy voodoo taps to count your pours. The idea is that you can taste a few ounces of various brews.
Whatever – I’m just excited that we finally have sushi!”

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you know anything about the development at the old Fairmont Market at 2628 11th St NW that sold on 8/8/17 finally. Ed. Note: Sold for $800,000. I had heard that a condo developer had purchased the property but now workers are removing soil in the vacant lot next to it and mentioned that there will be a restaurant there (the previous market had a liquor license) and that they will be constructing an outdoor patio.”

“Dear PoPville,
Wanted to let you and the community know that apparently Wonderland Ballroom is no longer allowing dogs ANYWHERE on their premises.
I tried to sit outside the other night with my pup, as I have done hundreds of times, and the bouncer very sadly let me know that the health department had “cracked down” on them and they weren’t allowed to have dogs even in the outdoor seating area. He also told me that they said it was part of a “city-wide crackdown” on dogs – which scared me even more, but I wandered down to another patio and there was no issue.
I know Wonderland has been specifically such a dog-friendly place for the neighborhood, and many will be bummed as I am to hear this news.
I wouldn’t even know where to start but is there something we can do!?”
Unfortunately Wonderland confirms that:
“The health department said they got a complaint from a customer about dogs on the patio. They came by and left a flyer and said absolutely no animals on premise except for service animals.”
