“Perch Supper Club is a Washington, DC–based dining experience from Chef Sam Molavi and Spencer Launer, created out of a shared love of bringing people together over exceptional food, thoughtful wine, and meaningful community. With each gathering, Perch aims to pair hospitality with purpose — supporting causes close to our hearts.
We couldn’t imagine a more meaningful way to relaunch Perch than in support of Children’s National.
February 25 marks one year since Spencer and Alison’s daughter, Leni, underwent open-heart surgery. Born with a ventricular septal defect (VSD), Leni’s arrival brought immense joy, followed by months of uncertainty.
Reflecting on that year and the care that carried their family through it, Spencer and Alison shared: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
So we all know the Hotel Harrington has been closed for some time, but today I walked by and noticed some lamps on in the rooms above the former lobby. And then I noticed someone vacuuming and cleaning one of the spaces. Any idea what is going on there? The rest of the building is definitely abandoned and cleaned out, so it was perplexing.
There was definitely someone there again today…
I saw a woman who opened the window and threw birdseed or something out onto the roof. I’m hoping it’s a legit situation though the person is definitely not hiding the fact that she’s there.
Looking forward to hearing anything. It’s such a great location and I’m curious when it will be snapped up. I have this dream of winning the lottery and turning it into a shiny new version of itself.”
Raise a glass to America’s 250th birthday! To celebrate, Clyde’s Restaurant Group, a DC institution since 1963, has released a limited-edition merch collection — and once they’re gone, they’re gone. A donkey and an elephant, dressed to the nines in red, white, and blue, clinking glasses across the table. Because at Clyde’s, the bar has always been common ground.
The T-Shirt ($30 or $20) Unisex tee in white, with the full illustrated back graphic and a Clyde’s 250 logo on the left chest. Available in both adult and youth sizes.
The Hat ($25) Embroidered Clyde’s 250 logo cap. Choose your colorway: white with navy thread, or navy with red thread. Structured fit with an adjustable back strap.
Grab a hat and receive $5 off an adult tee. Discount applied automatically at checkout.
Since 1963, Clyde’s Restaurant Group has been a staple in the Washington dining scene. What started as a single bar on M Street is now a family of over a dozen distinctive properties across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia including Old Ebbitt Grill, The Hamilton, Rye Street Tavern, Cordelia Fishbar, 1789 Restaurant, The Tombs, Fitzgerald’s, and six Clyde’s locations. Each has its own personality while all share the same commitment to warm, polished hospitality. With Ebbitt House opening soon in Reston, the story keeps going.
A couple folks are excited. Republic Cantina (43 N Street, NW) shares:

BIG news from the National Park Service:
“We’re projecting cherry blossom Peak Bloom to arrive between March 29 – April 1 this year.
Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in Peak Bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958). 🌸🌸🌸
Peak Bloom is defined as the period of time when 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms -the most common variety- are open, creating gorgeous clouds of white & pink flowers floating around the Tidal Basin.”

“Dear PoPville,
I live in the 14th St/U St Corridor. I was heading down 14th St this morning and noticed black smoke spewing from a pipe on the roof of the Verizon building (see photos). (more…)
WMATA shares: “Safety first! At Washington Dulles International Airport station, we’re testing a removable bollard in front of the escalator to encourage customers with large bags to use the elevator instead. The initiative is aimed at reducing trips and falls caused by bags on escalators and improving safety for everyone moving through the station.”
Great idea or terrible idea?
The first reaction seems to favor the latter:
“They will just hold everyone up, lifting the bag over the pole.”
Do you think it’ll work?
