22nd and S Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

A guy who has been doing some pretty creepy stuff in the north dupont and kalorama area the last few days. It’s getting a lot of discussion on nextdoor and my building listserv. Just want to make sure people are aware because it’s pretty frightening to me.

The menu at ilili D.C., much like the NYC locale, will be an ode to the flavors of Massoud’s Lebanese heritage–bringing to life the traditions and generosity of his culture and welcoming D.C. diners with open arms. (more…)
