HR 57 to Re-Open on H St, NE on March 16th

By Prince Of Petworth


816 H St, NE

According to Capital Bop:

This just in: Tony Puesan has reportedly said that he will reopen HR-57 next week, on Mar. 16, after approximately two months of delay.

The hold-up was due to an unanticipatedly slow process of procuring a liquor license.

HR 57’s new location is 816 H St. NE. I stand by my original reaction when we first heard the news in Nov. 10 – Devastating News for Logan Circle/Phenomenal News for H St, NE .

The sight below now makes me weep every time I pass it:

Dear PoP – Major Problems with Recent Pop Up Featured

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoP,

The pop up at 9th and I NE that you featured a week or two ago got messed up by the winds. Last night the block was cordoned off as fire and others tried to figure out what to do. Then later contractors were there putting up bracing, but it looks like the structure is in big trouble.”

That was serious wind. Do you think they have to start over from scratch or can this be salvaged?

H St, NE News: Boundary Road Coming, Greatest Lawfirm (name, possibly) Going

By Prince Of Petworth

Ed. Note: Despite our conversation going on down below – I also love H St, NE and much of its positive development. I don’t think it is necessary to malign one neighborhood just because you may like another better. The beauty of DC (which admittedly took me a few years to realize) is the uniqueness and contrast of all its neighborhoods. The DC that is the sum of its neighborhoods is far greater than one neighborhood alone. Christ, I sound like a politician and that is not my intention. I’m just saying it is quite possible – in fact quite natural – for one to love both Columbia Heights and H St, NE. I may blow some people’s minds but I truly and genuinely love Cleveland Park as well. Screw it – I’ll say it loud – I love Georgetown too.

On to the good stuff – Boundary Road Restaurant (pictured above), according to a recent liquor license application, is coming to 414 H Street, NE. It will be a:

“Neighborhood style American fare menu, full service restaurant and bar with a seating capacity for 65 patrons. Total occupancy load of 80. Entertainment will consist of occasional live music or DJ.”

And in less pleasant news I was saddened to see its next door neighbor’s building was for sale lease. As previously noted, perhaps the greatest name for a lawyer ever – Phyllis J. Outlaw:
