1110 H Street, NE

We’ve been waiting a long time for someone to open up at 1110 H St, NE in the awesome Hubert Newsom Real Estate building. It was a pleasant surprise to see the new Newsom restaurant and bar open during the H Street Festival. @HStreetDC_ says to stay tuned for an early October opening. Anyone stop by and taste the food during the festival?

The space looks great:


1st floor bar


2nd floor bar


Great view


Festival menu


Saturday’s Festival on H Street, NE was another great time. I knew it was gonna be fun when the first thing I saw (around 3rd and H) was NBC’s Pat Collins giving a tour:

And of course lots of food and beer though you had to find your fortunes elsewhere:

This probably turned the most heads:

What was your favorite part?

Toki Underground Pop Up Library

Toki Underground will be hosting a pop up library this Saturday during the H Street Festival from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The restaurant is teaming up with the Capitol Hill Public Schools Parent Organization to raise awareness about the importance of having librarians in D.C. schools. With funding cut over the summer, 16,000 students and 57 schools are without a librarian this semester.

Toki Underground will be accepting book donations on Wednesday evening (7 p.m. to 10 p.m.), all day Friday (9 a.m. to 9 p.m.), as well as on the day of the event. For every two gently used books donated, donators will receive a $1 coupon to Toki Underground.

Please donate all books at this address:
1244 Wylie Street NE

Toki Underground will not be serving food during the pop up library and will reopen for service at 5 p.m.
