Tiffany’s Bar & Bistro Celebrates One Year Anniversary on H Street, NE Tomorrow (Wed.)!!

By Prince Of Petworth


709 H Street, NE

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…)

Hobart Twins Park – 700 Block of Hobart Place, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I know I’ve written to you about it before, and many popville readers would dismiss this saying “it’s a side street, of course it’s ignored by the city,” but it’s driving everyone on the block absolutely crazy how terribly the city is responding. It’s so bad that we have folks on our neighborhood group chat debating whether we should just petition for the removal of the trash cans outright. (more…)

11th and Park Road, NW

Thanks to Max for sending Monday afternoon:

“Old Makan/Thirsty Crow Spot – Chairs Being Moved In. Just saw this as I was walking through the neighborhood. Wasn’t sure if there was something new going in? They were clearly bringing quite a few seats in to the space.”

OK, as I told my Patreon supporters in a PoPville plus + post – please join us there if you want to learn the earliest scoop on things – plus you’ll help ensure PoPville survives for another 10 years!! I digress, but seriously, join us if you are able. Anyway, I hear that a new beer bar/restaurant along the lines of what Meridian Pint did is coming to the space!! The deal wasn’t signed when I first heard about it so didn’t want to post about it here yet. But this is a good sign that maybe it is happening. STAY TUNED. And get the early, early word here. Cheers and fingers crossed on this one!!

ICYMI: Makan and Thirsty Crow closed here in 2025.

Meridian Pint closed here in 2019.

“picture from the hospital on Saturday evening. The meds make me look more comfortable than reality!”

“Dear PoPville,

I had a terrible fall off of an e-bike on Friday (around 7:45-8pm) on H Street (I think btw 3/4th or 4/5th), and so many members of the community stopped to help me. I want to thank them, and let them know I’m (mostly) OK.

My front tire slipped on the trolly track (while trying to go around a double-parked white SUV), (more…)

“ROUTES AND ROOT A Modern Bar & Eatery

Bringing Flavor, Culture, and Connection Back to Kennedy Street NW DC”

“Dear PoPville,

Last fall you featured a short article highlighting that Routes and Root is coming to Kennedy St NW. I wanted to reach out because we’re getting closer to bringing Routes and Root to life and I couldn’t be more excited.

Our goal is to create a bar and eatery that brings something innovative and unique to DC’s food scene—a place where great food, thoughtfully crafted cocktails, and culture come together to create a true neighborhood gathering space.

We’ve recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the remaining funds needed to complete our renovations and get our doors open. (more…)
