“Dear PoPville,
Any idea what they’re filming on 14th and W? There’s a ton of action inside and around the yellow row house, a film crew, tons of equipment and a tour bus.”
Another reader heard it was a “romantic comedy”. Anyone else hear more details?

From a press release:
“Washington, D.C. chef and restaurateur Mike Isabella announces changes to the interior design and menu at his 14th Street Italian restaurant G, which include the addition of a 15-seat bar area, new cocktail program, extended service seven days a week from 11am-10pm, and delivery.
“We opened G as a sandwich shop by day and an Italian restaurant by night, but now we have moved to an all-day menu where guests can get a sandwich or a great bowl of pasta any time,” said Isabella. “As part of the design refresh we’ve added a full-service bar with fun new cocktails. G is really a neighborhood spot and our changes reflect how regulars want to eat and drink.”
