I’ve always loved this building in Mt. Vernon Square. I am an admitted sucker for fire-escapes but it’s also got great details:
Too bad plans for a Tavern with Middle Eastern food never worked out. Hopefully someone else will lease/buy this great space.
This rental is located at m st nw at 5th st nw:
The Craigslist ad says:
“Lovely and spacious 2 bedroom plus den/office nook, 2 bathroom rowhouse. Features include: all hardwood floors, central AC, dishwasher, fireplace.
Superb location just 1.5 blocks to Mt Vernon Square/7th St Metro (green/yellow), 5 blocks to NY Ave Metro (red), steps to new City Vista (new Safeway, Busboys and Poets, cleaners, Starbucks, and more). Easy walk to Chinatown, the Mall, Union Station, the Capital, and more.”
$2695 sound right for this 2 bed/2 bath row house?

Looks like they launched April 2nd. Anyone check them out yet?
Well you can barely make out the sign but I’m 99% sure it says B. Roth Saddlery from 1033 7th St, NW at the corner of L. I’m pretty sure the building next door has been nominated as a horse’s ass award. I guess I should add this one to the list as well. Pretty ironic/awesome that the building used to sell saddles.
But the fact that you can still (barely) see a sign for B. Roth Saddelry is pretty cool. Hard to imagine horses galloping down 7th St, NW.
Not a lot of info but at 2:21am Sat. night/Sun. morning AlertDC sent word that there was a:

Very curious to hear what folks think of this one – this 1 bed/1 bath is going for $289,000 ($149.10 monthly condo fee). Sound realistic?
Well this is definitely going to be one to keep our eyes on. A recent liquor license application says simply:
“High-end fine dining restaurant in a small intimate space. Occupancy load of 52.”
Though Metrocurean reported this summer:
Chef RJ Cooper has found a new home for the ambitious 24-course menu he created while at Vidalia. The 52-seat restaurant will only serve Cooper’s 24-course tasting menu during one dinner seating Tuesday-Thursday and two dinner seatings Friday and Saturday evenings. The tasting menu experience will ring up at $130 and $170 for alcoholic beverage pairings.
The liquor license application lists the location as 922-924 N Street, NW (Rear) which is actually in Blagden Alley.
Ed. Note: 922 N St, NW facing N St was a recent GDoN post in Jan. ’11.
Not in a million years would I think this sight could lead to a fancy restaurant:
Though I do like this adjacent door:
Here’s the only indication that a “high-end fine dining restaurant” is coming:
