Dupont Market is located at 1807 18th St NW. I’ve often walked by this spot but have never stopped in. Last weekend I was dying of thirst at this point and popped in for a bottle of water. I was surprised to see it was fairly crowded. There was a pretty big wine selection but I’m more curious about the sandwiches. Is this the deli we’ve all been looking for?
This home is located at 2022 Hillyer Place, NW:

Wow. Yeah. Wow. Not much more I can say about this one. I’ve walked by this a few times on my to the Phillips Collection and I just assumed it was split into condos. How does this one rank among house porn posts? It’s yours for $3,900,000.
Hahaha, this is awesome. Thanks a million to a reader for sending this in:
“Check out this photo of a restaurant getting ready to open up on the corner of 17th and R. I’m not sure what focus group told them the name “The Sacrificial Lamb” was a good idea…but I think we can all be excited about the impending deliciousness of kebabs and naan.”
I’m not sure if I’ve featured it before but I saw it again this past weekend and was shocked all over again. It is an addition to the Women’s National Democratic Club (the addition sits on Q Street near Dupont Circle). It looks like some sort of bunker. Was this a proper style back in the day? Does anyone dig it?
Bread & Brew is located at 1247 20th St, NW. I think this spot used to house a Greek restaurant, right? I’m hearing that this is a great place. I’d never even heard of it before. How long has it been there? Anyone check it out? You can see the menu here. Any particular specialties that are a must order?
We spoke about their Penn Quarter location here. From an email:
“Red Velvet Cupcakery will celebrate its Grand Opening at Tangysweet, Dupont Circle (2029 P St. NW) by giving away mini-cupcakes on Friday, July 31. The Grand Opening celebration will begin at 12 noon and last all day.
Red Velvet Cupcakery will feature several of its most popular cupcakes including the Devil’s Food, a chocolate buttermilk cake with bittersweet chocolate ganache, Vanilla Bean, a vanilla bean cake with Madagascar bourbon vanilla frosting, and Southern Belle, a red velvet chocolate cake with whipped cream cheese frosting.
Red Velvet Cupcakery opened its doors at 675 E St. NW on the corner of 7th at E St. in the heart of the Penn Quarter in January. Red Velvet is owned and operated by brother and sister Canada and Aaron Gordon – Washington DC natives.
“We were searching everywhere in DC for another Red Velvet location, when we realized that my brother already had the perfect space in Dupont Circle at his original Tangysweet store,” says Canada Gordon. “Tangysweet, Dupont is such a beautiful store and great location in Dupont that it will fit perfectly with our simple, elegant cupcakes.”
Red Velvet recipes were created by renowned pastry chef, David Guas. Red Velvet cupcakes are made from the finest French chocolate, the best European butter to the aromatic vanillas of the Bourbon Islands in Madagascar and baked in small batches to ensure the highest quality.
Tangysweet, Dupont Circle, Winner of the AIA DC’s Best Interior Architecture Award, is located at 2029 P St. NW, Washington DC, 20015, near the corner of P St. and 21st St. Hours of operation are 11am to 11pm, Sunday to Thursday, 11am to 1am, Friday and Saturday.”
Wow, I think this looks awesome. Though I’m an admitted lover of fire escapes. It is located behind the 1700 block of Williard St, NW.
Photo of the front of the building after the jump. You’d never guess it looked so cool in the back. (more…)
“Dear PoP,
The little triangle dog park between New Hampshire, 17th, and S St, NW is coming along nicely. They constructed a little hill in the middle that is covered in what looks like astroturf instead of grass for the dogs.”
Very nice. What’s the hill for?
This amazing house is located on the 1800 block of New Hampshire Ave, NW.
