Thanks to Amy for sending yesterday morning:
“I hit (the new) Nino’s this morning on my way in to work. The space is really bright and open, particularly compared to Bourbon Coffee which used to be in the same location. Not a ton of seating, but some good coffee and pastry options. I got a blueberry scone, which was buttery and delicious, (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’m Dr. Sahar Kassem, the owner of Morgan’s Pharmacy (3001 P Street, NW) here in Georgetown. We’ve been serving the neighborhood since 1912, and we are proud to be D.C.’s second oldest community pharmacy.
With respiratory season ramping up, we want to let the neighborhood know that we are fully stocked on the updated 2026–2027 Flu and COVID-19 vaccines with zero long wait lines.
A few quick details for families looking for specific options: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My younger brother was mugged walking from Adams Morgan to the Dupont metro late Saturday night past midnight and had to give up his watch. The guy was in a ski mask on a moped. My brother and his friend called 911 and they told him he could either a) wait there for the police to arrive or b) go to any DC police station later to report the crime. Naturally he just wanted to get home and didn’t want to wait around forever late at night nearby where the incident had just happened.
So I accompanied my brother today (Sunday) to go to the 2nd District police station nearby where I live. I’m writing to you because the experience there was incredibly frustrating and concerning. The police officer at the front from the very beginning acted incredulously, asking him why didn’t he wait for the police to report at the incident last night (he explained what the 911 dispatcher told him, and she didn’t find that an “acceptable” answer).

Over the weekend I promised our social media followers (@PoPville) some good news today. And I’ve come to deliver. Over the summer, in July to be specific we noticed some action at the old Makan/Thirsty Crow space in the prime corner location at 11th and Park Road, NW. Now I can finally share what’s coming – The Porch & Pebbles!! Ever since Meridian Pint closed (back in 2019 if you can believe it) people have told me they wish something like Meridian Pint would open up there. While Makan was great, as an OG Meridian Pint fan I couldn’t agree more. And that’s basically what’s gonna happen with The Porch & Pebbles. But what has me really super excited about this is WHO is behind the new spot. It is the great team behind Nanny O’Briens, Atomic Billiards, Franklin Hall and so many more. I spoke with owner Geoff Dawson who tells me a bit of what we can expect: (more…)
