I don’t know how I missed this one (I think from Swann Street, NW). I’ve posted some other Cavanaugh works before but didn’t recognize this one. You can see some info about the artist here.

A few weeks ago we judged the Dupont Market located at 1807 18th St NW. A reader writes:
“Looks like Dupont Market was broken into last night. The window on their door was smashed (it now is covered with a board with a sign that says something like, yes, we’re open) and a laptop and some cash was stolen.”

Last month we looked at Marrakesh Restaurant on New York Ave. Turns out there is also a Marrakesh Palace that has a similar look on the outside. Marrakesh Palace is located at 2147 P Street, NW. Any fans of this spot? Is it better than Marrakesh Restaurant? They have an early bird special…

This condo is located at 1718 Corcoran Street, NW:
The flier says:
“STUNNING! NEW PRICE & PRIME LOCATION. IN THE HEART OF DUPONT!! RENOVATED CONDO AT THE HISTORIC ANALOSTON FEATURING 1BR, 1BA, HDWD. FLRS. , EXPOSED BRICK, GRANITE, MAPLE CABINETRY, LOW FEE INCL.

Hello Cupcake, located at 1351 Connecticut Avenue, NW, is celebrating its one year birthday and giving away free cupcakes today starting at 10am.
And from a reader:
“As you might know, Washingtonian.com is holding a “pizza pool” NCAA-style bracket for readers’ favorite pizza places in the region.
As it turns out, on day 1 of Round 2, two Columbia Heights businesses are up against two NoVa businesses: Pete’s is up against Cafe Pizzaiola (Alexandria and Crystal City), and RedRocks is up against Piola (Rosslyn).
Voting ends at noon, at which time Petworth’s own Moroni & Brother’s takes the batter’s box, against Logan Circle high-end restaurant Posto, since Moroni won in the first round against PieTanza.”

“There was a zombie walk in dc today, and I flowed the zombie parade to the real world house. Several members of the real world cast came out and got turned into zombies. It was really fun to watch.”

I Richhi is located at 1220 19th St., NW. In my quest to find the greatest Italian restaurant it’s time to judge I Richhi. I’m hearing it’s a bit overrated but I’ve also heard folks that love it. You can see their menu here. Any fans? Worth the dough?
