Thanks to D. for sending: “There is no way a place in Shaw goes for that cheap…”

I always advise caution in responding to any advertising signs found attached to light poles with the exception of trading your unwanted cars for cash. Those seem legit*. (more…)


From the owners:

“Construction is well underway and ‪we want to be open yesterday, but it’s looking like late March or early April. We are so honored and humbled that so many people are excited our arrival, but please don’t hold us to that date as there are many balls in the air that we don’t have control over. We can’t wait to start providing Shaw/Mount Vernon a steady supply of bagels! (more…)



1843 7th Street, NW

Helluva run, helluva run indeed. Yesterday we broke the news that the famed Pop Up Bars of 7th Street were likely finished since all their equipment had gone up for auction. This morning Washingtonian confirms the news:

“The bar officially closed on Dec. 31 and will not be replaced by a permanent drinking destination.”

So of all the pop ups that came and went, for those that went, which was your favorite? I liked the Cherry Blossom ones.


Well this is something. Thanks to a reader for passing on this listing from Rasmus Auctions:

“M30277 – Miracle on 7th Street Pop-up Bar – Washington, DC
Restaurant Equipment”

The tipster notes: “I thought maybe they were getting rid of accumulated junk from old concepts, but you don’t sell the sinks and ice machines unless you’re done (or it’s a complete renovation which I doubt).” (more…)


Thanks to Jason for sending above and Mer below:

“observed near Vermont Ave, V Street NW intersection. There was another one, in a garbage container, just a block down. So strange…” (more…)
