“Dear PoPville,
Most DC residents have become all too familiar with the “holiday house” located on 16th Street NW. For the last decade+ the owners of the home have delighted the NW corridor with elaborate holiday decor covering nearly every square inch of their front yard. (more…)
This rental is located at 1722 19th Street, NW. The Craigslist ad says:
“$1600 / 355ft2 – Vintage living at its best! Historic Building! Studio! (more…)
For those not familiar, Iron Gate 2.0 is one of the best restaurants in D.C.

“Hank’s Cocktail Bar is boxing up shop on December 14th & moving to the 2nd floor of our flagship location, Hank’s Oyster Bar in Dupont Circle. Same great cocktails, same Hank’s hospitality, awesome new space. Stay up to date on social media for our January 2019 reopening date. It’s not goodbye… it’s see you soon!”
Ed. Note: Brief but beloved Ruta Del Vino closed last month on Upshur Street after two years in Petworth.
Hank’s first opened on Upshur Street as Twisted Horn back in January 2016. They changed names to Hank’s Cocktail Bar back in November 2016. Updates when we learn what becomes of the property. A look at the property’s transformation after the jump. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Does anyone know anything about the abandoned bike chained to the awning pole in front of Lucky Bar on Connecticut? I see it every day going to and from work. It’s missing a rear wheel and I just thought maybe the owner took it to keep the bike from being stolen. Last night when I walked by, I noticed the proprietors of Lucky Bar have wrapped the poles in Christmas garland, including the abandoned bike. Sounds like there’s a interesting story there.”
Ed. Note: You say abandoned bike, I say Christmas miracle. Sounds to me like it simply the folks at Lucky Bar being awesome. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar as my Uncle Sig used to say.
Of course if there is some bizarre story – I’m all ears!!
