The Polo India Clubis located at 1736 Connecticut Ave, NW. I’m not expecting this spot to have the buzz that Rasika got but I’m wondering if it is a a solid Indian option? You can see their menu here. Is this a good spot for a casual meal?

Dupont Circle
About a month ago, I noted that the old Daddy & Son storefront at 1704 Connecticut Ave, NW was getting a work done. It turns out it will become a Dolcezza gelato, (folks loved the Georgetown location). It looks like they’ll have a grand opening with free gelato, free pork and blue grass music on April 25th. Sounds awesome!

Well this is nearly house porn but because it falls under the $1 mil. arbitrary threshold I’ve set, I’m posting today! Because it is freaking awesome.
What do you guys think – will this home support a superb lifestyle? This 2 bed/2bath is yours for $950,000.

Again, sorry for the tech problems lately. I was obviously unable to post this yesterday. But when I was close to completely losing my mind I was able to keep my sanity by reading all the emails sent to me pleading for the house porn. Well it may not have saved my sanity but it made me smile. Now, I may be drunk at the moment, but I love some of you guys!
This isn’t the most insane house porn we’ve looked at but still pretty sweet. Any fans? It’s yours for $1,895,000.

I dare not even attempt to possibly explain this…

I’m only calling this scuttlebutt because I haven’t been able to officially confirm but I believe this has a high likelihood of being true. Here’s an email apparently from an employee that a reader forwarded to me:
“Due to the Whale’s location to Camelot, they have decided to start a new thing on Thursday’s. It’s called Topless Thursday’s. Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you have to come to The Whale topless. However, the bar staff will be. All of the female bartenders were told to wear “skimpy” bras, and for those of you who have been before we have some HOT female bartenders. Secondly, all of the male bartenders will be shirtless with a bow tie. Yes, that includes yours truly. So come to see the hot ladies and laugh at me. It’s gonna be the wildest thing in DC.”
A few weeks ago I wondered what changes were coming to The Whale (formerly Sign of the Whale located 1825 M Street, NW) but I never would have guessed this…
Has anyone else heard about this? This could be a hoax but if true do you think this a smart promotion?

Urbana Restaurant and Wine Bar located at 2121 P Street, NW in Dupont is giving away 300 bagged lunches on Thursday to celebrate their new lunch menu. You can see the new menu here – Lunch Menu. From an email:
“The restaurant wants people to “fall in love” with the new menu, and since they’re giving it away on April Fools the tagline is “Only Fools Fall In Love.” The giveaway will include a bagged lunch featuring a sandwich from the new menu – the pulled pork parmesan sandwich (made with braised pork shoulder, Bolognese sauce, mozzarella and radicchio), a dilled pickle, a chocolate chip cookie, and a bottle of water. The lunches will be available while supplies last, (first come first serve basis) and they’ll start at 11:30 on Thursday.”
Sounds pretty sweet.

This condo is located at 1930 New Hampshire Ave NW:
The owner writes:
“My wife and I are selling our 2BR/2BA condo in Dupont Circle, which we love so much. I’m going to business school in Philly in the fall and so we’re moving north. Going to miss this neighborhood like heck, but hopefully we’ll come back someday.
It’s a great place in a great location and we’ve been extremely happy here. Uses space really efficiently, which we found lacking in a lot of the new construction we looked at as buyers a few years ago. Has a separately deeded off-street parking spot also available. Furnishings also available.
We’re going to FSBO route to save commission.”
You can see the full listing here.
Does $535,000 sound reasonable for this 2 bed/2bath condo?

Sushi Taro is located at 1503 17th Street, NW. I’ve wondered how this place is given its proximity to some of the best restaurants in the city. You can see their menus here. Any fans?

We first learned of this great name back in August ’09. Now that it’s been open a bit I’m wondering what folks think of the food? While I’m curious about the kabob, I’m equally curious about the pizza. Anyone check them out yet?
