Ivy and Coney Pauses In-House Dining, Continues Pickup and Delivery

Ivy and Coney, DC’s home for tube meat sandwiches and baseball, ​will be pausing in-house dining for the foreseeable future. ​ We will be serving up dogs and pouring Malort on the deck through this ​Sunday, December 6th​. While the deck is closed, pickup and delivery through DC To-GoGo will continue Thursday to Sunday. So don’t worry, you’ll still be able to get your hot dog and Detroit pizza fix. On top of that, we hope to get a fun market for people to shop online for a variety of local products up and running in time for the holidays (stay tuned!)

No matter what happens, we want to assure folks that Ivy and Coney is not going anywhere. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

This morning [Tuesday] when getting a latte at The Coffee Bar in Shaw a man approached me thinking I was someone he was waiting for. I was swift to tell him he had the wrong person. He blamed the mix up on the mask. But in reflection, I wish I wasn’t so quick to dismiss him. He was tall and skinny. I had cheetah print sneakers on. Hoping you enjoyed your time with whomever you mistaken me for, but would love to connect!”

Ed. Note: If this is you, please email [email protected] so I can put you in touch with OP. PoPville is not affiliated with either party, please proceed with any potential connection at your own risk using caution as you would any online encounter. For those curious about passed missed connections, some have been made and when possible I’ll try to update when/if more are made.

via GoFundMe

Ed. Note: We spoke about some other ways to give back yesterday here.

Thanks to Dan Winston for sharing this important fundraiser: “In these challenging times, it’s important for us to support each other. @garrisondcps has set up this @gofundme for families. Please donate if you are able to do so.”

The GoFundMe says:

“As a Title I school, more than half of our students are from low-income families and nearly 25 percent have special needs. We have received unbelievably generous support from our community over the past six months, support that has provided essential food, rent, and childcare assistance for Garrison families through a long, difficult summer.

We are grateful beyond measure, but as we confront an uncertain new school year, we are asking for help once again. Our $20,000 goal will ensure we are able to do three essential things: (more…)
