“Nerds on Willard St., NW”
Dupont Circle
Back in May CNN reported:
“President Barack Obama took a detour on his Asia trip Monday when he dined with celebrity chef and adventurous eater Anthony Bourdain in Vietnam.
After finishing up at Hanoi restaurant Bún chả Hương Liên, Bourdain tweeted that he had picked up the $6 tab on a shared “bun Cha dinner.”
And Pho 18 rolled with it!! Anyone try it?

I’m not the only who did a double take.
Kristin (and many others) tweeted us last night:
“@PoPville loud helicopter has been hovering at a total standstill over Dupont area for over 10 minutes- super creepy”
N Wyre replied:
“there was a training exercise scheduled for yesterday… Not sure if this is it. 20 mins over our heads is long enough!”
MPD confirmed the military exercise though they said operation (not sure if that’s just semantics):
“My understanding from our command center is that it is a military helicopter conducting some sort of operation. They should be gone shortly.”
From an email:
“Fry Brothers is joining Neighborhood Restaurant Group at Canteen this Friday. We are excited to be part of Canteen’s first Friday and honored to be their first pop-up. Come for cones of piping hot hand-cut fries and house made sauces. Look out for our signature Pho 16 sauce. Every Friday we’ll be slinging piping hot cones of fries and homemade sauces.”
You can see the current menu here “but we’re always in the kitchen working on new sauces!”:
Thanks very much to a reader for sending:
“Attached are photos from the July 2 vigil for the victims of the terrorist attack in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This vigil was held at Dupont Circle, and involved moving statements from the friends of the victims.”
