From an email:
“Tiffany’s Bar & Bistro, the modern Mediterranean restaurant located on H Street’s historic corridor, is celebrating its one-year anniversary on July 15th. The husband-and-wife duo Malti Chaudhari and Mehmet Suktuli opened Tiffany’s in celebration of their love story and Mehmet’s Ottoman-style culinary roots. Tiffany’s is resemblant of the couple’s personal love story, as Malti’s engagement ring was purchased from Tiffany’s & Co, the couple’s marker of the beginning of their journey. Within days of the restaurant’s opening, the couple welcomed the birth of their daughter, whose name is carefully imbued in one of the restaurant’s many murals hand-painted by Mehmet and friends.
On Wednesday, July 15th, guests dining at Tiffany’s will receive a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the anniversary alongside their meal. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Having been a long-time follower (with the ‘Before Sunrise/Sunset’ fan in me always rooting for strangers longing to remedy their missed connections), I regret that I too find myself ruing a forlorn encounter.
We both got on the Metro shuttle bus at Bethesda through Friendship Heights on Saturday, July 11th around 2pm. You were (more…)
The Fuss is a dynamic ska and rocksteady band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960’s Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on the timeless styles. The group showcases 3-part female harmonies and a 3-piece horn section. The Fuss’s lively vibe gets a crowd going, yet brings a smooth and steady groove.
For the first time, they’ll play brand new songs from their upcoming album, Together (October, 2026) on Jump Up Records.
“Dear PoPville,
Tonight (Monday) I was incorrectly fined by Capital Bikes for failing to dock the bike and unfairly fined $25? (more…)
Hobart Twins Park – 700 Block of Hobart Place, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I know I’ve written to you about it before, and many popville readers would dismiss this saying “it’s a side street, of course it’s ignored by the city,” but it’s driving everyone on the block absolutely crazy how terribly the city is responding. It’s so bad that we have folks on our neighborhood group chat debating whether we should just petition for the removal of the trash cans outright. (more…)

Thanks to Max for sending Monday afternoon:
“Old Makan/Thirsty Crow Spot – Chairs Being Moved In. Just saw this as I was walking through the neighborhood. Wasn’t sure if there was something new going in? They were clearly bringing quite a few seats in to the space.”
OK, as I told my Patreon supporters in a PoPville plus + post – please join us there if you want to learn the earliest scoop on things – plus you’ll help ensure PoPville survives for another 10 years!! I digress, but seriously, join us if you are able. Anyway, I hear that a new beer bar/restaurant along the lines of what Meridian Pint did is coming to the space!! The deal wasn’t signed when I first heard about it so didn’t want to post about it here yet. But this is a good sign that maybe it is happening. STAY TUNED. And get the early, early word here. Cheers and fingers crossed on this one!!
ICYMI: Makan and Thirsty Crow closed here in 2025.
Meridian Pint closed here in 2019.

Thanks to Anita for passing on her query about whether or not the General Thomas Statue in the middle of Thomas Circle, was getting painted gold – a legitimate question these days!!
ANC rep Nancy Groth replies:
“NO. The statue of General Thomas is bronze that naturally turns into a green patina over time as the copper majority component oxidizes. Every five years or so they remove the green patina and burnish the bronze back to a bronze color. (more…)
