“Dear PoPville,
Sitting in Logan Circle reading a book – guy with giant amp pulls up on bike blasting music and sits on a bench. Zero social awareness. Everyone else in the park gets up and leaves. What’s the end game here? Attention? Other people noticing? Of course nobody is gonna say anything we all just have to find somewhere else to go. 311 can’t do anything until after dark. Frustrating since it’s a nice day and Logan has plenty of seating and shade.”

Yesterday we learned that a Planta was confirmed coming to the West End. Now a reader sends some scuttlebutt that:
“apparently they are putting in a Planta in the former Phillips on P/15. Menu seems pretty good.”
Phillips Seafood and Street Carts opened here (15th and P) in June 2019 and closed in November 2020. Tortilla Coast closed here back in 2017. Prior to Tortilla Coast this prime space was home to McCormick Paints.
Stay tuned.
From Estadio (1520 14th Street, NW):
“The Gintonic (yes, sans ampersand) is a very important cocktail to Spanish culture. Aside from Spain being one of the world’s top gin-consuming countries, over the years, the Spanish have created a unique drink vastly different than the traditional English version, known for its bulbous glassware, quality tonics and elaborate garnishes. Long hailed for its own innovative Gintonic menu with seasonal, weekly-rotating flavors, Estadio is once again celebrating Spain’s favorite cocktail for the third year in a row (after a two-year pandemic hiatus), with the 3rd Annual “Juniotónico: a Gintonic Festival” from Monday, June 6 through Thursday, June 30.
All month long, Estadio will showcase creative Gintonic cocktails & slushitos, an expansion of its rare & Spanish “Suitcase Gin” program helmed by owner Max Kuller, “Gindustry Mondays” happy hours, and an extra-special kickoff party on Monday, June 6, featuring the return of its longtime bar manager Adam Bernbach for the night!
