At first glance this sign may look rather ordinary. But I’ve noticed that there are many take out Chinese places like this named “Danny’s”. So I’m wondering if “Dandy’s” was a typo. Either way it’s real dandy…

La Villa is located at 1317 14th Street, NW in the Logan Circle neighborhood. I’m always intrigued by these places that look a little scrappy on the outside. Since we have many “pollo” experts here – what’s the verdict? Do you recommend eating in or takeout? Any specialties?

This section of 9th Street seems to have a bunch of new places going in. I should ask – does anyone know the difference between Ethiopean and Eritrean food? I’m guessing Eritrean has more seafood dishes? A few store fronts up from 2010 9th Street there is another spot that will be a restaurant according to the DCRA permit. I say the more options to hit before a concert at the 9:30 club the better!

Mar De Plata is located at 1410 14th St NW. There are some good reviews on Yelp which categorizes it as “Spanish, Tapas Bars, Basque”. As always, how’s the food and atmosphere? Any specialties?

This the Metropolitan Community Church located on 5th Street a couple blocks north of M in Shaw. It’s interesting how the stone contrasts with the glass. Thumbs up or down?

I caught the tasting at, 5th and M Streets, NW, a bit on the late side on Sat. afternoon but still had a great time talking with some of the neighbors in the area. And the margaritas were pretty sweet too. It also made my walk home that much more fun…

Marion Street (in Shaw) represent! On Monday a different reader submitted a door of the day from Marion Street.

Got to love the mini houses. Interestingly there is another one almost directly across the street (I think I featured it back in the day). They are located in Shaw on 10th Street if memory serves.

I’ve been monitoring the progress of this pop up on 10th Street south of Florida Ave. I have to say it’s looking a lot better than I originally anticipated but it still seems a little off. Obviously it still has a little ways to go but so far would you give it a thumbs up or down?

I seem to remember reading something about this huge area being redeveloped but I just noticed that all the windows were boarded up. Anyone know the story here? These apartments cover a huge area of 7th Street near M. Are these going to become mixed income condos?
