“Dear PoPville,
I am getting married at AutoShop (Union Market) this fall! Very excited about the venue, but it does not include a space for the bridal party to get ready. Any recommendations for a large-ish suite or space for rent in Washington, DC for bride + 9 bridesmaids, with some natural light?”

“L.A. Burdick Chocolates will be opening at 1319 Wisconsin Ave, NW in Georgetown this Saturday, March 7.
The location combines a cafe and a store and will offer our full array of European-style artisan chocolates, beverages, and pastries, including our Signature Chocolate Mice, Drinking Chocolate, Chocolate Mousse Cake, among others. We are known for our 33-year tradition of hand-making all our chocolates without using molds, and we look forward to sharing our craft with the DC community.
We will be celebrating the opening with a new chocolate bonbon created exclusively for the new store. In an homage to Washington, DC, it has three different layers featuring cherries: A layer of cherry dark chocolate ganache, a layer of cherry brandy marzipan, and a layer of cherry pate de fruit.
We will also be giving out complimentary hot chocolate on our opening day, March 7.”
