I thought this piece was super unusual. It’s located above the door of a sunken entrance in Georgetown.

Thanks to @FrenchTwistDC for the newest cupcake news. New York based Crumbs Bake Shop is coming to multiple DC area locations. Neighborhoods include Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, Cleveland Park & Rockville, MD. Exact locations have not been picked yet but as that info becomes available I’ll be sure to update. From their Web site:
Crumbs Bake Shop first opened its doors in March of 2003 on the Upper West Side of Manhattan by Mia & Jason Bauer. The menu is an irresistible blend of comfort-oriented classics and elegant baked goods, but the specialty of the house is the Crumbs Signature size cupcakes! With our more than 50 varieties baked fresh daily and a new cupcake of the week every Monday, each Crumbs Bake Shop is an oasis of wall to wall deliciousness. And now you can enjoy your favorite Crumbs treats in the comfort of your own home – just like Mom used to bake. Delivered straight to your front door, perfect for any occasion, without needing an occasion at all.

I actually found this one a bit curious.

I was intrigued by the small spot located on a side street off of M. Quick Pita got pretty good reviews on Yelp and is located at 1210 Potomac St, NW. Any fans here?

Well a quick google search hooked me up. Their Web site says:
“The City Tavern Club is a private social club located in the heart of Georgetown, 3206 M Street, NW, Washington, DC. The Club provides fine dining, elegantly appointed rooms for entertaining, popular member events and a diverse membership. City Tavern is also a top venue for private parties and meetings throughout the year. The historic Federal-Style clubhouse, acquired by Club founders in 1959, is one of oldest buildings in the nation’s capital, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Our membership is comprised of Washington professionals from all fields, including government, law, medicine, architecture, consulting and many others. The Indian King Society, or IKS, is chaired by younger members and organizes a variety of fun events. The Club maintains reciprocal relationships with over 100 clubs worldwide.”
You can read more history here. So how do I get invited to be a member…?
And while we’re on the topic, I’m just curious – what’s the most “exclusive” private club in DC?

Back in March I saw the Big Chair in Anacostia for the first time. And now I’ve finally seen the one at the Duke Ellington School at 35th and Reservoir Road. How many big chairs are there in the city?

This great one was in Georgetown. It’s also interesting to note that it has a super cool roof deck:

I love this sign in and of itself. I love it even more because I found it in Georgetown…

A couple of years ago I thought Hair Plus Gift Shop was pretty odd. But this seems equally random to me. Paper and Tea? Paper and pens? Yes. Tea and pastries? Yes. Is it just me or does that seem a bit of a bizarre combo?
