Tony’s Breakfast
“Dear PoPville,
I was just looking into going to Tony’s on H st and to my surprise they have a website. On the site it reads
“Tony’s Breakfast Has Moved Months Ago from 1401 H Street to 1387 H Street!
Vist the One & Only Authentic Tony’s • Not Affiliated with Tony’s Place @ 1401 H Street”.
I thought they moved across the street temporarily? I know they recently moved during some sort of remodel and that both were open. But separate entities? Huh?”

816 H Street, NE is formerly home to HR-57 and Fever Lounge most recently. Mythology & Lore is from the group that predicts H Street will:
“transition away from that hipster scene to more of a mainstream, cosmopolitan, urban scene.”
Their twitter page says opening in 2015.
The liquor license placard recently posted out front says:
“This is new Retail Class “C” Tavern. The establishment is a modern white table cloth chop house on the first floor providing steaks, seafood and vegetarian options with a significant dessert menu. There will be two kitchens. One on the first floor, and one on the second floor to execute the lounge menu. Menus will be offered up to an hour before closing. Lounge operations are on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. Third floor will include collapsible doors that open to a summer garden with the back of the garden enclosed by a two story wall. Dance floor will be 15 feet by10 feet and located on the H Street side of the 2nd floor. The number of seats is 150 and the total occupancy load is 160. The rooftop Summer Garden has split-level seating with entertainment for 32 seats; 70 person load.”
Hours of operation are listed as Sunday through Thursday 11am-2am Friday and Saturday 11pm–3am.
10th and H Street, NE
Back in Oct. 2013 we noted the building at 10th and H St, NE – future home of Ben’s Chili Bowl – had been torn down. The new building has finally started to rise:

“Just saw a biker being loaded into an ambulance on H St bridge. Is he okay? They’d cut off clothes and he wasn’t moving. There was a bikeshare next to him. Hope he’s okay.”
@DCPoliceDept tweeted:
“Street closer for pedestrian struck on 3rd and H St. NE. H St. from North capital to 3rd St/ both East and West Bound.”
Now NBC Washington reports it was a hit and run and police are looking for a gray Honda SUV:
“The bicyclist was taken to an area hospital with serious to life-threatening injuries.”

Thanks to all who sent emails and tweets about this potentially great new addition coming to H Street. One reader writes:
“Just wanted to let you know there is a new Lebanese Grill opening up on the corner of 5th and H NE next to Le Grenier [former Nouveau Fleur Florist space].”
Updates as they get closer to opening.
