Bombay Street Food evokes the sights and sounds of old Bombay, bringing the flavors of both traditional and street food vendors to the Washington, DC dining landscape. After opening award winning restaurants in Northern Virginia (Curry Mantra , London Curry House and 1947), now Sheikh will focus all of his attention on bringing his long time dream of the Bombay-based street food concept to reality.

“Dear PoPville,
Last night some people were setting off fireworks in Hyde-Addison Elementary School field and a shell lit part of a house on fire at the corner of Euclid and Sherman (1010 Euclid NW). Thankfully there’s a fire station spitting distance away and it was out as fast as it went up.”

“Dear PoPville,
You know those Halloween costumes that end up in the back of the closet taking up space and collecting dust? Well we want to put them to good use! Encounter Church is collecting Halloween costumes for the kids at Park Morton. We’ll wash, sort, pack, and store costumes until next year so you don’t have to!
Costumes can be dropped off at Encounter on Sunday mornings or during normal weekday business hours. The office is located at District Bridges, 3400 11th Street NW, Suite 200 (above Meridian Pint). Our door is on 11th Street between Meridian Pint and the former Good Silver. Look for the orange box upstairs!
If you have any questions, email [email protected].”
From DPW:

Carved and painted jack-o-lanterns will be composted along with other food scraps, while fully intact pumpkins will be donated to food rescue partners. (more…)
