The one above is from H Street, NE and they’re actually tons of them. I think they look fantastic. I haven’t seen any of this style elsewhere in the city. I did see some more of the larger new ones going up on Georgia Ave near Howard though:
This rental is located at 661 Morris Place, NE:

I mentioned a few new places coming to H St. NE last Monday. At the time I said I had a few more that were new to me as well. Pictured above at 1016 H Street, NE will be Liberty Tree. The alcohol application says it will be a seafood and brick oven pizzeria.
And at 1110 H St. NE will be a new restaurant (to be named later) featuring Asian cuisine.
And finally is the new spot, Vendetta, that is coming to 1350-1362 H St. NE. I think I may have mentioned it before because I was pretty psyched to see that it’s jukebox will feature opera and Italian music.
SOVA is located at 1359 H Street, NE. I suppose this is more of a coffee spot/wine bar but I’ve heard lots of good things about it. I see on the window they also offer pastries and desserts, are there other food options? It also looks like they have some nice tea options. Any fans out there? How are the prices?
Speaking of getting to H Street, NE, it never ceases to amaze me how many “coming soon” signs I see when I hit the area. I’m sure some folks have heard of these spots but I got some emails about them so I thought I’d throw them out there (more to come later in the week).
First, which I think is the coolest, is the Star and Shamrock Tavern slated to come next door to the H Street Country Club at 1341 H Street, NE. Sounds awesome, but I don’t quite get the Star of David unless there will be some Israeli folk music as well…
And just a few storefronts away at 1339 H Street, NE will be Dangerously Delicious Pies (which I’ve received a ton of emails about). They were slated to open in the fall so hopefully it won’t be too much longer of a wait.

On Friday DCist reported that the H Street, NE shuttle was to cease operations on Sunday:
“The popular free shuttle that serves the up and coming H Street NE corridor will be forced to cease operation on Sunday, Dec. 6, thanks to its funding from the city having dried up.”
However, on twitter this morning Ward-6 Council Member Tommy Wells wrote:
“Just spoke with the Mayor re H street shuttle. Very promising.”
I just rode the shuttle for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it very convenient. What do you guys think – should the shuttle be saved? Should it continue to be free? Should the city pay for it?
I thought these were awesome. Never seen anything quite like them before. I like the fact that it’s titled as well, “The birds”. They were found off H Street, NE.
Just received from MPD Cmdr David Kamperin at 12:47pm:
“That’s correct- this just occurred a few minutes ago. Subject shot multiple times. Street closed as its a crime scene. Will reopen as soon as processed.
Last information was subject being transported to local hospital.”
More from MPD:
“Correct – a person was seriously injured as a result of being shot as he was getting on a Metro Bus near 14th and H Street NE. After the shooting occurred the bus driver drove out of harms way. This investigation is ongoing and not much can shared at this point. Any witnesses or anyone that has information to offer please contact the Metropolitan Police Department’s Confidential Tip Line on 1-800-673-2777”
