1905 Restaurant is located, naturally, at 1905 9th Street, NW. It’s funny I’ve probably walked down this block dozens of times before realizing this was a restaurant. Here’s a look at the menu. Their Web site also says they have live jazz Thursday nights at 10pm and half priced bottles of wine Sun-Wed 5:30-7pm. This place sounds pretty cool. Anyone check it out yet? As always, in addition to the food what’s the atmosphere like?


From ALERTDC:

“14th St. NW from Florida Ave. to V St, and the intersection of 15th St. NW and W St. NW. Please completely avoid this area if possible during PM rush hour.”

“From my office window on 14th Street taken 3:30 this afternoon. The building next door caught on fire for the 4th time in about a month. It’s the Perseus development project at the old Bowen YMCA; people keep breaking in and setting fires.”

I happen to think this house if dope sky.  It is also in a phenomenal location.  Do you think it can go for $899,000?  What do you think of the house itself?

The flier says:

“Price REDUCED! Built in 1989 but looks like 1889! Vacant. Open floor plan but separate living and dining rooms. Large kitchen with french doors to deck and rear yard. Two bedrooms. Master is very large with lots of closets and whirlpool bath. Second bedroom is very nice size. Great block in the heart of Logan/Dupont/U Street!”

In my humble opinion I’d say this is really one of the best blocks this close to the U Street Metro. Now it is a small house thought the photos look pretty nice (although I’m not digging the kitchen). So what do you think – does $775,500 seem reasonable to be on this sweet block?


Back in August we learned of the opening. The day has arrived and they beat the Shawarma Spot set to open up on 18th Street. It seems DC’s going Shawarma crazy. I was alerted by a commenter and checked it out this weekend. Because I am odd I tried the falafel and it was delicious. The owners are from Bethlehem so they got some Middle East shawarma cred. The grand opening is set for 2 weeks or so but the store will continue its soft opening until that point. Check out some interior photos and the menu after the jump. (more…)


This sweet building is located at 1117 L Street, NW. I’m totally digging the curved windows and balconies. What do you think – thumbs up or down?
