We discussed this new park back in January but the summer sun really makes it look great. It is also a much larger park than I thought. And it’s not even totally finished yet:
But i really enjoyed sitting on a bench taking a breather with this view:
You can read more about the park here.
This home is located at 1606 33rd Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Historic Federal with a contemporary flair and sun, sun, sun! Beamed living room addition with skylights overlooks professionally landscaped garden. Elegant library with French windows can be used as third bedroom. Close to Wisconsin Ave shops and transportation, in enclave of other early homes.”
More info found here and a virtual tour found here.
Since I walked around Georgetown a bit I thought it’d be interesting to feature one their old homes for sale. Man, this is a cool one. Check out the virtual tour, it is one of the most unusual I’ve seen. I think it looks pretty sweet but am curious why it has been on the market so long (182 days). What do you think of the home itself? $739,000 sound reasonable?
This is an old school home from Georgetown. I really dig the the doors to the left of the proper front door.
Chez Mama-san is located at 1039 33rd St, NW. Momiji in Chinatown got good reviews for new Japanese cuisine. I’m curious if anyone has checked out this spot? You can see their menu here.
They also have a nice mural on the side of their building:
Not only is this a great spot but they also had a great sign out front:
Tackle Box is located at 3245 M St., NW. I’m a huge fan of lobster and was excited to see a sign here for lobster rolls. You can see the whole menu here but the lobster rolls go for $19. So my questions are: How is the lobster roll? Any other items of note? Is $19 too expensive for a lobster roll? Any other spots in DC to get a lobster roll? What’s your overall impression of this place – thumbs up or down?
This is one of the coolest most unusual houses I’ve come across. I think I may have featured the door before because it definitely looks familiar. But the whole house is amazing. I particularly like the windows. And of course there are some sweet porch sculptures as well. It’s located on 28th Street near P St, NW in Georgetown.
Dolcezza is located at 1560 Wisconsin Ave, NW. I was actually intrigued by the fact that they have churros. Anyone tried them? And of course how does their gelato compare with Pitango’s?
It seems that there is a resurgence in interest in Julia Child’s life.
“Dear PoP,
I had heard that Julia Child used to live in Georgetown. Any idea where she lived?”
I found a picture of her house on a Web site called The Humble Gourmand here. You have to click on the small photo to enlarge it. But here’s a google street view:
I could see the number 2706 and did another google search and found out that it is located at 2706 Olive Street, NW:
So is anyone going to see the movie?
The photo above is what I think is new(ish) construction in Georgetown. I think the “tower” structure in the front looks good. You?
And here’s a green roof in an alley off 14th Street on a carriage house (not exactly a carriage house but I don’t what to call it…). Here’s a proper carriage house:
Personally I think green roofs are super cool:
