“Dear PoPville,
Baan Mae (1604 7th Street, NW) just opened up in the old Hanumanh space. It’s owned by the same people behind Thip Khao and the idea is to serve the kind of food you’d find in your Laotian mom’s kitchen. Food is fantastic and we really enjoyed the creative drinks (like tequila, calamansi, and orange blossom).” (more…)

Thanks to Rachel for sending the latest from Rendezvous in the former Thai X-ing space near the 9:30 Club. Hard to make out from the signage but looks the lounge will be adding an ice cream spot in the day? Anyone know what’s up here?

“Ice Cream Indulgence Reimagined
Decadent, flavored waffle cones paired with classic vanilla soft serve.
