From an email:

“DC’s next big pop-up is just around the corner! Marking National Rum Day, Noches del Caribe, a nod to the Afro-Latin cultures and countries of the Caribbean and one of their biggest exports (rum!), debuts August 16 at Roy Boys’ Shaw location.

Noches del Caribe is a concept created by Luis Aliaga, beverage director at Roy Boys and Casa Kantuta, the Bolivian modern speakeasy pop-up. Similar to Casa Kantuta, Aliaga is drawing inspiration from his own heritage to share with Washingtonians through traditional spirits, signature cocktails and delicious food. Aliaga is half Bolivian and half Venezuelan. Specifically, he grew up spending time on Margarita Island, where his mother is from. (more…)

Ed. Note: The Washington Post reported this occurred 5:40pm and “the victims told police the assailants used an anti-gay slur and referred to monkeypox.” Metroweekly also reported it happened at 5:40pm and “two teenagers who allegedly called them “monkeypox f*****s” before assaulting them, resulting in a six-hour stay at a local emergency room.”

From MPD:

“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Third District seek the public’s assistance in identifying suspects in a Simple Assault offense that occurred on Sunday, August 7, 2022, in the 1700 block of 7th Street, Northwest.

At approximately 7:12 pm, the suspects approached the victims at the listed location. The suspects made derogatory comments towards the victims based on their sexual orientation. Two suspects then assaulted the victims and fled the scene. The victims were transported to local hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Two persons of interest were captured by a surveillance camera and can be seen in the photos below: (more…)
