Back in Oct. 2013 we noted the building at 10th and H St, NE – future home of Ben’s Chili Bowl – had been torn down. The new building has finally started to rise:

“Just saw a biker being loaded into an ambulance on H St bridge. Is he okay? They’d cut off clothes and he wasn’t moving. There was a bikeshare next to him. Hope he’s okay.”
@DCPoliceDept tweeted:
“Street closer for pedestrian struck on 3rd and H St. NE. H St. from North capital to 3rd St/ both East and West Bound.”
Now NBC Washington reports it was a hit and run and police are looking for a gray Honda SUV:
“The bicyclist was taken to an area hospital with serious to life-threatening injuries.”
UPDATE from MPD:
“The Metropolitan Police Department’s Major Crash Investigations Unit is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and locating a vehicle of interest in connection with a hit and run involving a bicyclist which occurred in the 200 block of H Street, Northeast.
On Thursday, May 1, 2014, at approximately 9:48 pm, an adult male operating a bicycle was travelling eastbound within the 200 block of H Street, Northeast, near Union Station, when he was struck by a dark grey, four-door, Honda Accord with unknown tags. The vehicle continued eastbound on H Street, NE, failing to stop.
Anyone with information about this vehicle or its driver is asked to call the police at (202) 727-9099. Additionally, anonymous information may be submitted to the department’s TEXT TIP LINE by text messaging 50411.”

On Friday April 25, 2014, at approximately 3:35 pm, police officers from the First District responded to a call for the sounds of gunshots. Upon arrival, they located an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Thanks to all who sent emails and tweets about this potentially great new addition coming to H Street. One reader writes:
“Just wanted to let you know there is a new Lebanese Grill opening up on the corner of 5th and H NE next to Le Grenier [former Nouveau Fleur Florist space].”
Updates as they get closer to opening.
This guy from Maryland Ave, NE near H Street has taken up a more prominent position:

“400 h street NE property acquired. (Formally TruOrleans) Looking to open in early-mid June. Concept announcement soon! I can tell you it’s being beautifully renovated, American fare with Mediterranean influence, craft cocktails and local craft beer”
Updates as more info becomes available.
TruOrleans closed back in Sept. 2013.
You can read a review of the then recently opened TruOrleans here.
Remember when it looked like this back in 2010:

The sign on the window says Inspire BBQ will be relocating but their website does not reveal the new location. Updates when the new location is announced.

From an email:
“Little Miss Whiskey’s gorgeous patio is now open with a second level. The fountains are on, the honeysuckle is growing, and our black bamboo is about to shoot this season’s growth 30 feet out of the ground. The first level of the patio is also now outfitted with large gas heaters for colder weather.
Patrons may reserve both levels of the patio or just the second for private events. Both levels come with use of our large propane grill, perfect for urban grilling any weekend or evening to which DC residents don’t have access in their apartments/homes.
Little Miss Whiskey’s is located at 1104 H Street NE, open 7 days a week, and there is never a cover.”
