“Metro will expand train service to midnight, seven days a week starting Sunday, July 18. The extended operating hours are the first in a package of service improvements passed by Metro’s Board of Directors in June that will add more all-day rail service, create high-frequency bus routes and improve service across the region.
“Riders that work late, enjoy the region’s restaurants and nightlife or need to get to and from places at night will now have more flexibility with trains running longer every night,” said Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld. “As the region recovers, Metro will be there to meet the transit needs of customers and businesses in the National Capital Region.”
In addition to extending rail hours until midnight, Metro resumed late-night bus service to 2 a.m. in June on 36 routes, restored more service and improved the frequency of buses on high-demand routes. (more…)

The DC Chocolate Festival is an annual celebration of all things chocolate, bringing together artisans, educators, and chocolate lovers for a weekend of tastings, workshops, and community engagement. The festival is dedicated to promoting quality chocolate, sustainability in cacao farming, and education on the craft of chocolate making.
This year’s schedule includes a Friday evening session featuring a special presentation from the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund, honoring farmers who grow designated heirloom quality cacao. A tasting of chocolate made from these special beans will follow the presentation. On Saturday, our two classic sessions feature samples and shopping for chocolate from all over the world. Attendees can also attend a full roster of classes Saturday including guided tastings and talks on chocolate topics including genetics, history, and sustainability. We have our first class specifically for children on Saturday morning featuring kid friendly chocolate history and a hand’s on craft!
Do you have any idea if and when the Cove shared workspaces will be re-opening in DC? I was a member of their Dupont Circle office but I can’t seem to get any useful information from the company. Its domain name is cove.is which appears to be in…Iceland??”
Ed. Note: Not looking good. I know they had locations in Columbia Heights and Dupont. Any other DC spots?
I am looking for some guidance on registering a canoe in DC. I am purchasing a canoe from Craigslist in MD which has not been previously registered and has no bill of sale. I am a DC resident and plan to use primarily in DC.

“When I move into a neighborhood, I really try to become a part of the community. My favorite thing to do is find coffee shops to try out and meet the staff. Before I moved to Columbia Heights, I visited a bunch of coffee shops.
Tynan is by far my favorite coffee shop in DC (and honestly, ever!), and holds an incredibly special place in my heart because it was the first place I dined indoors and sat into work after being fully vaccinated. The staff are incredibly friendly (shoutout to John, Leti, and Maria!), (more…)
