1108 K Street, NW

Thanks to all who passed on the GoFundMe for Sakina Halal Grill:

Kazi Manan introduced a new model of empathy and kindness in America when he opened his restaurant to every person who needs a refuge from their daily hunger. He has never differentiated between a paying or non-paying customer as he is constantly aware of his journey to success – and the difficulties along the way. Sakina Halal Grill has proudly served meals to the homeless independently and unsupported by any donations from patrons. He has always refused the offers as Sakina Halal Grill has been able to sustain this mission with its own funds and the prayers of the community. (more…)

Thanks to Sherri, Jaclyn, and Hilary for sending: “Signage for Yardbird is up on New York Ave! Looks like it is replacing Acadiana.”

Acadiana closed after many years on Dec. 31st 2018.

In October 2018 we posted some scuttlebutt that Miami’s Yardbird Southern Table & Bar could be coming to D.C. Scuttlebutt confirmed! Yardbird’s website says opening 2021. Check out their Miami menus here and stay tuned.


“Dear PoPville,

Biked from the Hill to Penn Quarter on Tuesday night about 11pm and thought it was odd I couldn’t see the bike lanes in the dark.

And then walked along Penn by the Navy Memorial and the Archives (Penn and 7th NW) yesterday and realized both the lane markings and protective poles are gone between the Capitol and the White House.

Why are they gone?”
