“Dear PoPville,

Baan Mae (1604 7th Street, NW) just opened up in the old Hanumanh space. It’s owned by the same people behind Thip Khao and the idea is to serve the kind of food you’d find in your Laotian mom’s kitchen. Food is fantastic and we really enjoyed the creative drinks (like tequila, calamansi, and orange blossom).” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

We wanted to let you know we are doing a pop up of our Annapolis restaurant, Leo, at Lost & Found Thursday, May 23rd from 5:30-8:00pm. We’ll also be offering happy hour specials for drinks throughout the event. It’s not ticketed, just come as you are, whenever it’s convenient. (more…)



11th and P Street, NW previously home to Asian American

Thanks to Jacob for sending: “know anything about the sign for a Tex-Mex place that just went up on the corner of 11th and P? Been vacant since the carry out closed a while ago.”

STAY TUNED for Tex-Mex!!

Update from a reader: “Majanos is the last name of the owners of local fav Benito’s place right next door – must be a new venture!”


“Dear PoPville,

I live in LeDroit Park and I’ve been hearing like a weird alarm all night. Sounds like it’s coming from like maybe 7th and T? It might actually be coming from over by Howard? Is anyone else hearing this? Am I going crazy??”
