I’m not affiliated but I hear that Crossfit has a seriously hardcore work out. I know it’s not martial arts but I do hear it is very hard core. District CrossFit is located at 624 New York Ave. NW. There is also a crossfit location at 1469 Church St, NW in Logan Circle.
However, if you want to learn about Mixed Martial Arts programs, you can find lots of information here.

One day the organizers of the H Street Festival will recognize that while the Jewish people only make up 3% of the population we make up about 36% of festival goers… (Last year the festival was over the Jewish New Year.) Anyway for those not fasting and repenting this is likely to be a really good time. And to all who I’ve offended this past year please forgive me and eat a corndog for me!
This home is located at 1318 G St, NE:

“Dear PoP,
I am a volunteer for the Washington, DC chapter of the Sierra Club. On August 18th at 6:00 p.m., the chapter will be holding a happy hour for streetcar supporters to celebrate recent victories (funding approved by DC Council and overhead wires legislation passed) and to discuss what next steps should be taken in our campaign to make streetcars a viable transportation for option for as many residents of the Washington, DC metro region as possible. The happy hour will take place at SOVA, located at 1359 H Street NE, an espresso and wine bar located along the route of the proposed H st.–Benning Rd. NE line.”
If you have a happy hour or event you’d like publicized in the 5pm post please send an email to princeofpetworth(at) gmail (dot) com with 5pm post in the title of the email.
The banners are advertising a festival from 2009 and they’re starting to look a bit ratty. Anyone know who makes the decision of what banners go up? Plus now they have these super sweet metal signs:
Ethiopic is located at the corner of 4th and H St, NE (a bit obstructed by streetcar construction at the moment). You can see their menu here. I was talking to a friend who didn’t know that H St, NE had an Ethiopian place (they’ve been open for a number of months now) so I wanted to see what folks thought. I feel kinda bad that they have to deal with the construction but hopefully in the long run it’ll help them out. So any fans?
“Dear PoP,
I was just hoping that you could plug the Argonaut now that it has reopened is ready for business. My wife and I live a few blocks away and have been 4-5 times since they’ve reopened as a tavern. Their upstairs (with a great view of the starburst intersection) and the patio are up, as are their booty beer and summer wheat on draft. They have a great neutella-and-homemade-peanut-butter sandwich, and their gazpacho is refreshing on these hot days.
The owners are such great people, and we’d hoped that more folks would be back to the Argo, given the huge crowds at both their fundraisers a few weeks ago. So far the place has been nearly (or completely) empty when we’ve been. The Argonaut has done so much for H Street that I feel that they could use all the help they could get.”
We talked about the fire at the Argonaut here. Argonaut is located at 1433 H Street, NE and looks like they have some great fish tacos. Get at ’em!
This is pretty sweet. The Temporium is:

I wish they would do one or another art project at the old Sursum Corda Library at 135 New York Ave, NW as well (same style old library):
