I’ve been pretty curious about Pines of Florence located at 2100 Connecticut Ave because it looks so out of place for a restaurant. It is surrounded by apartment buildings and in fact looks like it is in the lobby of one. But the reviewers on Yelp were very complimentary. I’m a huge fan of Italian food so I’d love to add another to my regular stomping grounds. The menu says “Uncomplicated Southern Italian Food at a Reasonable Price”. So what do you guys think – any fans out there?
Remember this sweet corner house that I featured a while back? I love when former houses of the day go on the market because we can finally see what they look like on the inside. This home is located at 1732 21st Street, NW:
The flier says:
“The jewel box on 21st Street! Why pay condo fees when you can own a house? The charming tile-roofed exterior opens to a meticulous renovation inside. High ceilings, hardwoods, 2 fireplaces, built-ins galore. Stunning custom bath with granite vanity and stone shower, master with bay window and French doors, renovated kitchen & more. PLUS just blocks to THE circle, Metro, stores & cafes! Owner/Agent”
You can find more info and a virtual tour here. Sadly, I couldn’t get a permanent link so just type DC6933110 into the “search by MLS # box” after clicking on “search for a home”.
So it’s a pretty small house with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. But they have 2 fireplaces. It’s on the market for $850,000. Think a small house in a good location can go that high? What do you think of the house itself?
Plum Blossom is located at 1915 18th St. NW in Adams Morgan. The Post has a review here. We’ve been talking a lot about wine bars so I thought it was cool that there was a Saki bar. Though this spot is also a restaurant and of course wine bar…
I’ve only eaten at La Tomate located at 1701 Connecticut Ave., NW a couple of times but I’ve never had a bad meal there. Any fans out there?
Anyone recognize the block?
I have not forgotten you. We are such an unlikely love affair. I despise the Red Sox “nation” and all that is New England, yet you are inextricably associated with that cultural backwater. I hate Tom Brady and his freaking smirk. I despise Manny. Yet I love you. I was first introduced to the beautiful coffee bean by your arch rival in Seattle. Starbucks. I know you get upset when I even mention her name. Forgive me. You have had my heart ever since I first sipped you in New York. I know how I have written that I will not lobby for you in Petworth. But I will never forget you. Mark my words, whether it is one year, five years or ten years we will be together again!
