Taylor Charles Steak & Ice Opening Dec. 12 on H Street, NE – Check Out Their Menu

By Prince Of Petworth


1320 H St, NE

Yesterday I mentioned that signage had gone up at Taylor Charles Steak & Ice (from the Taylor Gourmet guys) and that they’d be opening any day. That day is December 12th!

From an email:

Steak & Ice is set to open on December 12!

– Authentic Philadelphia Cheesesteaks

– The space is designed to give the feeling of “bringing the streets inside”. In Philadelphia, most of the legendary Cheesesteak shops are walk-up shops, outside. Steak & Ice brings the walk-up, sidewalk feel inside with its design.

– The floors resemble asphalt. Manhole covers have been installed. There are street lights, large picnic tables and original street art throughout.

– Hours: Sunday – Thursday 11am – 9pm. Friday & Saturday 11am – 3:30am.

– Carryout is available. Delivery coming soon!

I had heard that Taylor Charles Steak & Ice (from the Taylor Gourmet folks) would be opening up this Wed. at 1320 H Street, NE next to Shawafel but now I’m told the opening date will be finalized this week. At any rate it should be any day now – looks like they pulled off a great renovation.

Sticky Rice’s Expansion Gets a Paint Job on H Street, NE

By Prince Of Petworth


1224 H Street, NE

Back in June 2010 we first heard that Sticky Rice would be expanding next door to 1224 H Street, NE. I actually forgot all about it until I passed by on Saturday as the exterior space was getting painted. I wasn’t able to look inside but looks nice on the outside.  I can hardly believe Sticky Rice first opened in 2008.

What’s the oldest “new” restaurant or bar on H Street, NE? Argonaut?

Red Palace Closing January 1, 2013 on H Street, NE

By Prince Of Petworth


1210-1212 H Street, NE

The big news dropped right before Thanksgiving. From Red Palace’s facebook page:

Red Palace: Fare-thee-well.

After almost seven years the Red Palace will sadly close it’s doors at the end of the year. The current ownership is changing, and with that change comes new ideas for the future.

Red Palace had it’s beginnings in The Red & The Black and The Palace of Wonders. The Red & The Black a quirky little live music venue. The Palace of Wonders a Vaudevillian entertainment bar replete with sideshow oddities. Loving neighbors from the beginning it seemed only natural when they were joined in 2010 to become the Red Palace.

We would like to thank the H street community, businesses and the many talented artists and entertainers we’ve had the pleasure of hosting. We especially want to thank our patrons and our fantastic staff for making it a great place to be, and truly one-of-a-kind.

We love H Street, and feel privileged to be a part of the community. Join us over the next several weeks for a show, a drink and a bite to eat as we say farewell. Don’t miss our “Ball Drop” New Year’s Eve. It will be a party to be remembered.

Any fans of Red Palace? Stay tuned for word on the new owners plans.

1208 H Street, NE

“Dear PoPville,

I was walking down H Street and Souk was closed on a Saturday night. Do you have information if it closed?I enjoyed it the few times I went but it was never crowded.”

I called their phone number and unfortunately it’s been disconnected as has their website.

Souk opened at 1208 H St, NE back in Oct. 2009. Any fans?
