Ed. Note: When Shake Shake first opened in Union Station back in 2014 it was an EVENT. Goodness. There was a time…
“Dear PoPville,
The shake shack moved, literally overnight, to a new spot in Union Station. They gave up the two level restaurant for a much smaller storefront, just around the corner on the ground floor of Union station. (more…)

“The gates to the Carter Barron Amphitheater will swing open to welcome audiences for three vibrant nights of music this summer. Though the storied amphitheater has been dormant for a decade, it will awaken from August 20 – 22 for Rock Creek Conservancy’s Summer in the Parks, a concert series in partnership with the DC Jazz Festival and Washington Performing Arts.
Summer in the Parks creates a unique opportunity for DC’s residents to peer beyond the gates into the historic venue. The sounds of DC will brighten the stage for just three nights, including the legendary JazzDC All-Stars, Sylver Logan Sharp, Black Alley, and Chester Burke Jr. & Company. (more…)

From an email:
“Tiffany’s Bar & Bistro, the modern Mediterranean restaurant located on H Street’s historic corridor, is celebrating its one-year anniversary on July 15th. The husband-and-wife duo Malti Chaudhari and Mehmet Suktuli opened Tiffany’s in celebration of their love story and Mehmet’s Ottoman-style culinary roots. Tiffany’s is resemblant of the couple’s personal love story, as Malti’s engagement ring was purchased from Tiffany’s & Co, the couple’s marker of the beginning of their journey. Within days of the restaurant’s opening, the couple welcomed the birth of their daughter, whose name is carefully imbued in one of the restaurant’s many murals hand-painted by Mehmet and friends.
On Wednesday, July 15th, guests dining at Tiffany’s will receive a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the anniversary alongside their meal. (more…)
