Dupont Circle
1900 Q Street, NW just off Connecticut Ave
Rakuya has reopened, formerly Raku, refreshed just north of Dupont Circle. Currently they are only open for dinner. Lunch should be coming again soon. Anyone stop in for an early taste?
“Dear PoPville,
Around 5:15pm yesterday (Wednesday), the 42 bus that usually goes through Dupont Circle made some wrong turns and ended up heading east on Q St. Upon trying to make a left onto Connecticut Ave., the driver realized the impossibility of such a feat. It took the better part of ten minutes to navigate the turn, but in the end he managed it–scraping up the side of a car and the side of the bridge in the process, however.
If this is your vehicle, the bus number was 7144. I hope the info helps if you need to contact Wmata or your insurance. Sorry for the poor-quality picture.”
hahaha this is great! Thanks to B-Holes (Bagel Hole) for letting us know.

“Nerds on Willard St., NW”
Back in May CNN reported:
“President Barack Obama took a detour on his Asia trip Monday when he dined with celebrity chef and adventurous eater Anthony Bourdain in Vietnam.
After finishing up at Hanoi restaurant Bún chả Hương Liên, Bourdain tweeted that he had picked up the $6 tab on a shared “bun Cha dinner.”
And Pho 18 rolled with it!! Anyone try it?
