A reader reports:
“Looks like street car clipped the mirron on an ambulance at 14th & H. I don’t see any reason to have that lane at a standstill. Just have the cops take the info, and move on and take the car out of service.”

From a press release:
“H Street restaurant Boundary Road has closed to transform into Bar Elena, a multi-faceted space that will feature a seasonally-driven New American menu, an expanded bar, and classic arcade games. The new restaurant is scheduled to launch in late August.
Co-owner Karlos Leopold (Nido, Mola) has tapped Adam Stein (The Light Horse, Red’s Table) as the new chef and managing partner. Stein is leading the revamp ahead of his forthcoming project The Eleanor, a 7000-square foot bar, restaurant, and entertainment venue coming to Ivy City in early 2018.
“The aim of the transition to Bar Elena is to focus on all of the strengths that made Boundary Road successful, but with fresh updates that reflect a changing neighborhood and city,” Stein said. (more…)
