New To Me – Irvine Contemporary Art Gallery

Irvine Contemporary is located at 1412 14th Street, NW. It’s easy to walk by without realizing it’s an art gallery (as I had done many times) because there is a very unassuming glass front.

But it is well worth checking out. Currently there is a cool exhibit that has been extended to June 13th of works by Shawne Major.

You can see future exhibitions here. Well worth checking out!

Thanks to the many readers writing me about the opening of Pitango Gelato located at 1451 P Street, NW. Anyone check them out yet? Worth $4.77?

And going is Eco Green Living located at 1469 Church Street, NW. This is the place where I was impressed by their dual flush toilets…

El Paraiso Market on 14th Street To Become a Wine Store From The Owners of Cork

By Prince Of Petworth

Published May 25, 2009 at 10:33PM | Updated May 22, 2025 at 5:12PM

Metrocurean has the scoop:

“The first floor will hold about 60 percent wine, with the remaining space devoted to a small selection of beer, food and specialty items, including cheese, charcuterie, jams, oils, vinegars, pasta, bread and baked goods. An open kitchen in the back will turn out sandwiches and salads to carry out, as well as some favorites off Cork’s menu — chicken liver pâté, oil-cured roma tomatoes, olives, nuts. “I like to say everything you’d need for a picnic,” says Gross.”

More info at Metrocurean.

I think this is a really interesting development as last we heard back in March this space, at 1805 14th Street NW, was slated to become Blu Lounge & Grill. Does a wine store and market sound good to you?

Going – Circle Boutique

A couple of years ago I wondered if 14th Street was becoming a new fashion hub?. Sadly, it seems Circle Boutique located at 1736 14th Street has closed their doors. However, Redeem located next store is still open!

The flier says:

“Beautiful 3 story, master suite with suana & private bath, living room on 1st & 2nd floors, sep dining room, hardwood floors. Additional bedroom & bath on 2nd flr, garage pkg, landscaped front yard. One of the best blocks in DC. AS IS condition.”

More info and a virtual tour found here.

This home is nearly a house porn edition but it just sneaked under. It was also featured as a door of the day, back in the day.

I think this is the first house I’ve seen that has a sauna. But does $997,300 sound right for a 2 bed 2.5 bathroom house? Also what do you think about the house itself?

“This boutique 8-unit property was recently renovated just 4 years ago. Bright 2BR, 1.5BA condo residence, featuring wood-burning fireplace, bamboo floors, kitchen has Gran Counters & SS, recessed lighting t/o, private patio, w/ d in unit, & extra storage. Close to Whole Foods Corridor & 2(Red & Green) Metros”

More info here and a virtual tour here.

I’ve always loved this house/building so I’m glad to get to see what one of the condos looks like. I’d be more interested in one on a higher floor but this one looks pretty good too. Hard to get a feel of the size from these photos though. What do you think of the condo itself? Does $434,900 sound reasonable?

Garden of the Day

This is “The Temple Garden” located behind the Scottish Rite House of the Temple on 15th near S.

I suppose I could go to the Web site listed in the photo above but does anyone know how you get a plot there?

Hidden Bike Shop/Video Rental Store

I know there are lots of bike supporters out there so I thought this might be of interest. A buddy of mine who is an avid biker was trying to getting his bike fixed but there were huge lines at all of his usual stomping grounds. He had heard that there was a spot somewhere on 14th Street that fixes bikes. And indeed there is – Rollin Cycles located at 1320 14th Street, NW. They have bike sales, repairs, and rentals. He says that there is a lot less attitude here than at other spots. And of course you can rent a movie while you’re there!

Whenever I walk by the stunning rowhomes in this area, especially on P, Q, R, S streets, I’m dying to know what it looks like on the inside. Thus my love weekly Wed. house porn. Anyway, I think the outdoor patio is one of the dopest I’ve seen in a while. What do you guys think of the house? And for the curious it’s yours for $1,599,000.
