safety tips from DDOT
@CarolineBehr tweets us:
“Any polls on how many injured from biking on H St NE streetcar tracks?
people are still getting hurt, even with those lanes [G and I Street contraflow lanes]. I see abt 2 injuries/month. Something isn’t working.”
Do you think there needs to be better signage encouraging use of the new G and I Street, NE contraflow lanes? And of course no need to answer the poll if you don’t bike around DC.

From a press release:
“Two-time champion of Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, Doron Petersan, announces plans to open Sticky Fingers Bakery and Bistro on Washington D.C.’s thriving H Street Corridor in early 2015. The second iteration of Petersan’s award-winning cafe will be located at 406 H Street NE in a 2,600 square foot space featuring an expanded bakery program, bistro dining menu and full bar.
“The second location of Sticky Fingers has been in the making for a long time now, and H Street is the perfect spot for us to expand into,” said owner Doron Petersan. “The neighborhood is really coming into its own, and with the addition of the street cars it’s only going to get better.

“Dear PoPville,
A few friends of mine who all live on or near H Street have had issues with debit card numbers being stolen recently. The only thing that would make sense is there’s a card skimmer in an ATM or at the Giant we all use. Could you post and see if anyone else who lives near/and uses the Giant at H and 3rd Street NE has had similar issues?”

Thanks to a reader for sending word (and the photo above) that the H Street Organic Market has finally opened in the former Z Mart space. Anyone check it out? Is it similar to a YES! Organic Market?

A reader writes in this morning’s rant/revel:
“Halftime Sports Bar on H Street should be open now. I went by last night around 7pm for a drink and it was closed and dark inside. Does anyone know why? I find it hard to believe a sports bar would be closed on Mondays.”
Their website says:
“Hours
Mon-Thu: 12PM – 2AM
Fri-Sat: 12PM – 2AM
Sun: 12PM – 2AM”
Anyone able to stop in and check it out?

This is the spot that back in 2010 was supposed to become Angelico H Pizza. Get ready for The Pursuit Wine Bar opening June 14th. Their facebook page says:
“A wine bar offering 40+ amazing wines by the glass on H Street NE? Yes, please.”
