“Hanumanh— most underrated place in DC”

1604 7th Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

We just had dinner Hanumanh, which I am pretty sure is the most underrated place in DC. It might be because they are only open three nights a week. It might be because they were closed during COVID. Or it might be because the menu posted online has only four dishes, (but in reality there were a ton of choices). Everything we got was AMAZING.

Check out the actual menu (below). Get the tapioca dumplings!” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Was curious if your or the readers had any idea what happened to Ordinary People Barbershop–a great spot that was on 7th St. until recently. One day I walked by and it was cleared out and the sign on the window reads “THX SHAW” and “See You in 2024-5″. That’s an awfully non-specific time frame! Any clue?”

Fundraiser to Benefit Breast Cancer Research this Wednesday at the new Whitlow’s in Shaw

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to share a fundraiser that I’ve organized to raise funds to prevent and cure breast cancer! I was diagnosed in 2019 at just 34 years old and finished treatment in 2020 (RIGHT before Covid hit). Unfortunately, this is all too common – breast cancer is now the most common cancer worldwide, and I’m dedicated to doing what I can to end this terrible disease.During the first year of the fundraiser in 2022, we raised $9,205, and with donation matches, the grand total was $20,440!

I’m hosting an in-person benefit bingo night called “Boobs for Bingo” THIS Wednesday, October 19 at the new Whitlow’s in Shaw. It’s going to be a fun night of bingo with gift card prizes donated by local businesses. Tickets can be purchased here.

I’m also selling plants, candles and raffle tickets – available at www.plantitpink.com! (I currently have 80 plants in my little condo!). Raffles include: (more…)
