From Call Your Mother:

“Call Your Mother, Washington D.C.’s nationally renowned, locally grown “Jew-ish” deli, opens in Georgetown, Wednesday, July 29.

Sitting pretty in pink at the corner of 35th and O streets NW, Call Your Mother Georgetown is the bagel brand’s fourth location. The shop boasts 1100 square feet dressed in the original pink color from the building’s previous occupant, GreenWork Florals, and accented by Call Your Mother’s signature teal. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I noticed that the Paul bakery and Bluestone Lane on Wisconsin have closed. Both have windows papered over. Paul looks to be permanently closed considering the signage is gone – this happened a couple weeks ago. Bluestone looks to be temporarily closed based on the letter they posted – this happened in the last few days, I believe.” (more…)

Damn it. I loved window shopping at Cherub Antiques Gallery. Their website says:

“SALE: 20-50% OFF! Click through to individual item pages to see both original and sale prices. (Only the original price shows on catalog listing.)

Our storefront is closing after 36 years. We will be open Thurs.-Sat., July 2-Aug. 1, 12-5 p.m. and by appt. (more…)


Thanks to Lissy for sending from Saturday night:

“We spotted what we discovered was this newly married couple a few tables over. People had been sending them glasses of champagne with one couple offering to buy them a bottle to take home. Here is a video as they got up to leave. The entire restaurant clapped for them when they got up to leave. It was heartwarming.”
