More big yoga news this week. Back in Oct. 2013 we learned that Cafe Japone had closed at 2032 P Street, NW. Next up – Unity Woods Dupont Yoga (these signs were taped to the doors):
Update: thanks to MPinDC for clarifying, “it is a new yoga studio (Dupont Yoga) that will be offering space to a Unity Woods teacher on Saturday mornings.”
Unity Woods’ website says:
“Yoga at Unity Woods is not trendy, but timeless. You may have tried yoga in gyms or in videos. When you are ready for the best in authentic yoga instruction, come try the classes at our three Washington-area locations.
Unity Woods is one of the best known and most widely respected yoga centers in the country. We offer classes for students at all levels in asana (posture) and pranayama (breathing), special courses for targeted needs and interests, workshops with some of the world’s finest teachers, and programs covering various aspects of the science and art of yoga.
At Unity Woods, our purpose is to offer uncompromising, expert yoga instruction to as broad an audience as possible. Our teaching staff is the area’s most experienced, comprised of highly trained, certified instructors who help guide you to improved health, serenity and expanded awareness.
All our classes are based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar. Named by Time magazine as “one of the 100 most influential people in the world.” Mr. Iyengar is widely regarded as the 20th century’s foremost yoga teacher. His approach develops self-awareness through precision in movement and attention to the subtleties of body, breath, mind, and spirit.”

Toronto’s The Chickery is coming to the former Black and Orange burger spot (formerly Rogue States) in south Dupont:
“The Chickery is a fast-casual eatery offering real tasty chicken and sides. By only using quality authentic ingredients, we provide delicious food that you can feel good about eating.”
Check out their menu here.
Toronto.com says:
“The Chickery offers a foodie-fied take on classic fast food. The restaurant’s crispy buttermilk chicken fingers are no exception… Battered and fried to perfection!”

This is the former Nature’s Table space that closed in early March. I’m told MASO will feature made to order salads and other healthy options – I’ll post the menu when it’s released. They should open next week.

Much more promising than when we last checked a few weeks ago. Any fans of Biryani?
Thanks to a reader for sending the shot above from Dupont Circle this morning. Falcon?
And quite the description (actually pretty terrifying because it’s happened to me) on the Hill tweeted by @HStreetDC_:
“Aggressive crow dive-bombing people at 14th/SC SE. Animal Control can’t remove for a few days because of baby birds in nest. Be careful.”
It’s pretty funny though if you happen to see it happen to someone. My neighbor still laughs about the time I was chased up and down the street by a momma bird about 5 years ago.
This rental is located at 2130 N Street, Northwest. The listing says:
“Fabulous Location in walking distance to DuPont Circle Metro, Foggy Bottom Metro and Georgetown with the best shopping/restaurants & entertainment in the area.

“I came across this little gem of a parking job on my way home from work yesterday. This is on S between 16th and 17th NW. The road is narrow as it is and cars usually have to slow significantly to pass each other.
On a normal week, at least one parked car along this section of road will lose its side mirror bc of how narrow the passage is.
This driver managed to take up 2 spots, park facing the wrong direction, and is at least 2.5-3 feet from the curb. No surprise- Maryland plates.“
17th and R Street, NW
Thanks to a reader for tweeting us the news. This is the former Ultimo Lounge and La Frontera Cantina before that at 1633 17th Street, NW. Updates when they get closer to opening.
