2nd and D St, SE
Thanks to Martin for the update: “For those keeping track of the David’s Tent saga, it is now set up in Folger Park in Southeast, which seems about as remote as it gets when it comes to tourist foot traffic. Can’t imagine they’ll get too many visitors here.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve taken up sewing and want to make and donate reusable masks for those who need them. Do you know of any organizations / groups that would be interested?”
Ed. Note: I’ve seen some folks put these in little free libraries with a note, which seems pretty cool. Maybe put them in ziplock bags or something like that? Other ideas?

“DC friends, ever wonder what 18th Street looked like in the 1970s?

Plenty of posters calling for DC statehood on those walls!
It later became Rumba Cafe. Curious to see what it will be next.”
Magnificent. Here’s what Rumba Cafe looked like in it’s heyday: (more…)

From an email:
“With the Super Bowl coming up in two weeks we here at Bread Furst are testing out the waters on our Pop-up “Alberto’s Pizza”.
In trying to come up with fun ideas for Super Bowl our head baker Ben Arnold wanted to get back to his roots and create a menu of pizza pies for Super Bowl Sunday. Ben’s passion for baking and working with dough began while he was in high school working at a local Pizza shop. With that in mind the pizza menu was a go. Since I was here as well and Ben makes a perfect Philly hoagie rolls for Cheesesteaks, the menu was set.
I have a history of making cheesesteaks and Super Bowl foods having owned Ventnor Sports Cafe in Adams Morgan for more than a decade catering to Philly fans in DC. I’ve dusted off my nacho and wing recipes and I will be manning the kitchen while Ben handles the pizza oven. (more…)
