“Habibis, some changes are in store for YELLOW Georgetown!”

By Prince Of Petworth


1524 Wisconsin Avenue, NW

From YELLOW:

“Starting Tuesday, April 14, we’ll be moving to an all-day counter service model at YELLOW Georgetown. Tuesday through Saturday, we’ll be open straight through from 8AM to 8PM for an uninterrupted day of all your favorite hand-crafted pastries, mezze + pita sandwiches, and coffee with no more mid-day closure. That means starting mid-April, gone are the days of clearing out the cafe at 3:00 – instead, we’ll continue to offer that same buzzy vibe of hospitality-oriented counter service and more of what’s at the core of YELLOW. Sunday and Monday will maintain the same 8AM to 3PM schedule.

Now, the “bad” news – this change does mean that our (not) Pizza pop-up is coming to an end at YELLOW Georgetown after service on April 11. But, (more…)

ICYMI: Last week, All Purpose Riverfront Still Closed in Navy Yard. Reopening Soon?

Sup with Salvimex? Definitely Closed.

By Prince Of Petworth


1424 Park Road, NW

Ed. Note: Salvimex only opened here in March 2025.

“Dear PoPville,

Wondering if you might be able to crowdsource a solution to the mystery of this establishment on Park Road NW. It’s clearly been closed for months and looks abandoned, yet Yelp still says it is “open.” It’s disappointing because Mi Cuba Cafe was replaced with this eyesore.”

It’s definitely closed and has been for weeks. (more…)

Joey first sent word around 11pm last night (Tuesday):

“About 15-30 shots fired in Columbia Heights, sounds like around 14th St. between Harvard and Columbia. At least one vehicle seemingly drove away with a flat tire. Not sure if they were involved.”

Others responded: “I’m at 14th and Girard and the street is closed as well as the alley to Harvard street, bullet casings on the road. Heard at least 10-15 shots fired right at 11pm.”

“Yup. I hear them, too. A bunch of shots . It stopped. Then a few more.”
