1108 H St, NE

The Daily Rider Bicycle Shop is coming to 1108 St, NE this spring:

The Daily Rider’s collection of bicycles currently includes models from Biria and Bobbin. We will soon be carrying Gazelle, the original Dutch bike, and we will be introducing several brands that have yet to be seen in the Washington, DC area market.

Our collection includes models that feel at home in the city, with racks for your bags and fenders to keep you looking sharp when you arrive. There’s no need to put on special clothes, shoes, or equipment. If you have ridden Capital Bikeshare, you’ll be familiar with how seamlessly you can integrate the right type of bicycle into your daily life. Our brightly colored bicycles don’t require you to match your clothing to them, but the invitation is open!

Want your current ride to more closely fit your lifestyle? We have a full selection of bags and baskets to accommodate your laptop, your change of clothes, or even your dog! Installation of most accessories is included with purchase. We’ll even give your ride a once-over and make sure everything is working well.

From an email:

“H Street Bakes is happening this Sunday, March 4th from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at The Big Board (421 H ST NE). H Street Bakes is a monthly pop-up bake sale featuring bakers from H Street NE and the neighborhoods surrounding it. This month, our bakers will include Kim Moffatt, Crunkcakes, biscuit, and others.”


This pop up is located at 905 2nd St, NE:

The listing says:

“Just completed, never occupied turn-key investment. Each of the 3 2bed/2bath units are desirable. Unit 3 has private roof deck with great views of the capitol. Check rents at senate square and you will find the numbers work great. Watch the trains arrive as rent rolls in. A sophisticated play for owner occupant as well.”

You can see some photos here.

What do you think of the pop up? It’s yours for $1,600,000.


Florida Ave, NW has been getting a lot of action lately – now Florida Ave NE is getting in on some action with Chinito’s Burritos opening up at 635 across from Galludet University.

Their Facebook page says:

Gastronomes Take Heed. Founded by Jin Chong, Chinitos Burritos is committed to serving the community authentic Mexican food at an affordable price. Located in the meat-packing district of NE, Washington, DC, my mission is to provide gourmet food that is prepared quickly. The name Chinitos is an adaptation of the Spanish word Chinos to describe Asians. Cheers to good food and longevity.

With a passion for food and a love for people, Chinitos Burritos aims to establish trust in the community for preparing authentic Mexican food done well. Gourmet food does not have to come with a gourmet price tag.

My hope is to inspire and enhance the quality of life through great food and experience, combined by entertainment and great atmosphere. Command the art of hospitality employing the juxtaposition of nourishment, rapport, and diversion to create harmony and foster the ceremony of life and living.

And here’s how it works:


Back in Dec. ’11 we took an early look at Boundary Road coming to 414 H St, NE. I stopped back earlier this week to see how they were progressing:

Awesome! While we already got a sneak peek of their food menu I’m psyched to now be able to give a sneak peek of their beverage menu:

Boundary Road Beverage Menu

Like the dining menu, the beverage menu will also be changing with the seasons. How does this one sound?

If all goes well they should be opening very soon. I’ll update with an exact date when it’s announced. In the meantime, after the jump, you can see a few more photos of how the space is looking. (more…)
