“Dear PoPville,
I’d love to highlight the story of LebTav 17th Street and the incredible resilience this restaurant and its team have shown over the past year.
I’ve been going to LebTav 17th Street for quite some time, and I’ve always enjoyed the food. The staff has consistently been warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It’s one of those neighborhood places that makes you feel good every time you walk through the door.
Last year, the owner of this franchised location, Alberto, sadly passed away. I had actually followed Alberto’s food journey for years, from his days with Shawafel on H Street to Shawarma District. His love for food and his connection to the community were always evident.
Since his passing, (more…)

Thanks to E. for passing on from an ANC Rep via the Eckington Civic Association (ECA):
“I have received the following from MRP, the company that manages the bike lobby linking the MBT to Florida Avenue, and pass it along.
==========
Over the last two days we have had back to back incidents with large groups of youths gathering on the trail and trail connection lobby at Washington Gateway. They have then proceeded to getting into altercations that spill down into our plaza and the lobby of the Burton apartments. The police have been relatively quick to respond, but similar to the firework incident that we had in July (where the youth shot a roman candle into our lobby) the police tactic is just to disburse the crowd.
We have closed the trail connection to try to de-escalate the situation. Hopefully this will bring some normalcy and we will be able to reopen shortly. (more…)
