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?

I know it’s a bank but I still thought it was worth noting as it is new construction. It is located on Wisconsin Ave near Q Street, NW. I think it looks pretty cool. I’m particularly liking the windows on the side. What do you guys think – thumbs up or down?

After last week’s GDoN house porn a few readers threw down the gauntlet and dared me to find one worthy of the title house porn. Well, I have answered and answered with vigor… Seriously, this house is so wild, I couldn’t believe I just stumbled upon it. It is interesting to note that it, and the next door neighbor, (see photo below) are two very modern houses within an old school block. But back to the house itself – what do you think of it both inside and out? What’s your favorite feature? It’s yours for $2,495,000.

Cafe Divan is located at 1834 Wisconsin Ave., NW. I love this corner building and feel like over the years I’ve seen a few restaurants come and go. Though I believe Cafe Divan has been in the space for a number of years now. So what’s the word – thumbs up or down? They even have a carry out menu…
