Look who has their 10 year anniversary coming up?!?!?! [Minus a slight hiccup.] Bless you Hana Japanese Market. And bless your rice balls. This is the salmon. Do NOT be frightened by the cat with a question mark sticker, it is delicious. And only $2.
*Obviously $1 dollar beer specials is the ultimate in frugal spending.
I opened it wrong about a hundred times before I turned it over: (more…)

Off this one hurts. From TaKorean:
“TaKorean will be closing its U Street location this afternoon. This particular space wasn’t the right fit for the business at this time. We continue to thrive at our three other locations in DC and we recently expanded to Philadelphia in the newly renovated Bourse Food Hall. We will continue to look for other growth opportunities in the DC metro area in 2019.”
This TaKorean opened in April 2017. Previously this space was home to U Street Cafe and Mocha Hut before them. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Mayor Bowser’s Department of Transportation (DDOT) today announced five new pick-up/drop-off pilot locations following the successful Connecticut Avenue Pick-up/Drop-off Zone Night Life Pilot. Following a 30-day notice and comment period, the Administration will launch the new 24-hour passenger and commercial loading zones in high-demand areas.
“Our goal with the expansion of this pilot is to reduce conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists,” said Mayor Bowser. “By rethinking how we move people and goods between the street and the sidewalk, we can better adapt to a changing transportation landscape and find new ways to work together to meet our Vision Zero goals.”
The new pilot locations will be exclusively used for pick-up/drop-off and commercial loading 24 hours a day. (more…)
