House of Philly is located at 2311 Calvert Street, NW in Woodley Park. I don’t think we’ve ever judged this place before. I think back in the day I once got a slice of pizza here… Anyone ever try the Philly cheesesteaks here? Are you glad to see it being renovated or would you prefer a new spot all together open up.
Incidentally, The old crepe spot, Cafe de Paris, which closed last March is still for lease located right above the House of Philly.
From time to time I get asked recommendations for good barbers in town. I recently stumbled upon this newish spot on the 3000 block of Connecticut Ave right across from the Zoo. While I’d like to think they gave me a pretty good hair cut what was best for me was the special they have every Tuesday – $10 haircuts! I haven’t had a haircut for $10 since the 80s.
This home is located at 2651 Woodley Road, NW:
The flier says:
“First time on market in 25 years, rarely avail. detached Wardman, truly spectacular home, located in the heart of Woodley Park, retains its old world charm, but is thoughtfully renovated for today’s life style. Renov Kitch/family room with top of the line appliances, spacious deck, 5 CAR PARKING.”
More info found here and a virtual tour found here.
Wow. This home is pretty bad ass. What’s your favorite part? It’s yours for $1,999,000.
Well this was an unpleasant scene on Woodley Road Sunday afternoon. I believe Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is in town. But man these are some vicious signs. As a Jew I can tell you they made me laugh because they were so absurd but I was really disturbed to see some children maybe 8 or 9 years old holding signs like this as well…

“Dear PoP,
Any ideas on why a train can sometimes be heard near Adams Morgam/Woodley? Where is this train??”
I asked a similar question back in May ’07. At that time I inquired about hearing a train from my home in Petworth. I was told that I was “hearing trains on the track that runs along the Red Line metro track parallel to North Capitol and then along Blair to Silver Spring.”
Anyone know what train you can hear from Adams Morgan/Woodley Park? Is it the same one?
The Stanford in Washington Art Gallery, located at 2655 Connecticut Avenue, NW; is showing an exhibit on the drawings of Eric Carle. When I showed this tattoo from the children’s book, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, folks were remembering a few of their favorite children books. Eric Carle is behind the classic the Very Hungry Caterpillar. It’s free – Hours: 9:00
Murphy’s is located at 2609 24th St NW. When I lived in Woodley Park this used to be one of my favorite spots. Recently I noticed lots of folks there during the day. So a couple of questions – is the food any good? Second, with Nanny O’Brien’s (in Cleveland Park) under new ownership, is Murphy’s the best Irish bar left in the city?
This home on Cathedral Ave north of Connecticut Ave seems to be fairly new. While not perfect, I think it fits in rather nicely with some of the older homes. Do you think it fits in?
And I’m also wondering what you guys think of the box like structure below, found on the grounds of the Swiss Embassy. I think it looks kinda cool:
iPOH Asian Cuisine is located at 2625 Connecticut Ave. NW on the 2nd floor. The place looks pretty nice, you can see some photos here. This place is relatively new as I used to go to a take out Chinese place here back in the day. You can see their menu here. Anyone have a chance to check them out yet?
This is a cool house located at the intersection of Woodley Road and Klingle. It’s a bit unusual because I’ve never seen a roof deck on a house like this. It’s also got a great garden going on.
