From MPD on Sunday:

“This evening (6PM), at 3147 Dumbarton St. NW, a woman was accosted by two male juveniles. One of them had a brick and demanded one of the two bicycles in her possession. Instead, the woman yelled for her friend (who was a short distance away) to help her, and the juvenile threw his brick at her. The brick narrowly missed her and the juvenile then picked up a rock. He then threw the rock at her approaching friend, which hit him in the head. The juvenile suspect and her male friend then got into a physical struggle. MPD arrived on the scene and arrested the juvenile suspect. The other juvenile fled the scene before the arrival of MPD. The male friend’s head injury was treated by DCFEMS.



2934 M Street, NW

Tough times for Cajun closings.

Pier 2934 opened in the former Little Viet Garden space back in 2014. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

“There are plenty of restaurants on M street where you can find good seafood. But how about a steaming bag of buttery, Cajun-style boil of your favorite catch? Not an overly fancy plated piece of lobster tail that you can nibble on… we’re talking a whole bag stuffed with potatoes and corn as spicy as you’d like to have it. We ditched the fine china. Bring your bibs and your appetite!

Pier 2934 is a family owned establishment that wants to share with the Nation’s Capital the same values we hold: having fun, eating good food, and bringing people together. So come in and enjoy a Cajun boil on a warm summer night with the family on our spacious, yet cozy patio, or meet up with friends at the bar for happy hour and some fried finger food and oysters.
Come for the boil, stay for the beignets

Well this rainy Sunday just got a whole lot more interesting, if you’ve already read Franklin Foer’s The Plot Against America about Paul Manafort in The Atlantic.

The Rugby and Cafe space closed back in February 2013.

From South Moon Under’s website:

“What began as a small surf shack in Ocean City, Maryland in the summer of 1968 has since evolved into an upscale casual shopping destination. Today, we have 28 locations (and counting) plus an online boutique. We are most loved for an ever-evolving assortment that allows our customer to discover something new with every visit; combined with our friendly yet high service environment which reflects the laidback mindset instilled in the founding store over 45 years ago.
