I believe PoPtrekker videoographer, Intangible Arts, is a huge fan. Rita’s is located at 3322 Georgia Avenue, NW. They got some solid reviews on Yelp. One user recommends the Curry goat or chicken roti. Any other fans out there? Any recommendations on particular dishes?

OjO Latino is a series by Néstor Sánchez Cordero. This week features the Caribbean Day parade. Néstor says, “Images are around, the secret is to catch them at the right moment and with the right light…”
Two more striking photos after the jump. These are the final photos from the parade! (more…)

Well a reader couldn’t wait until Monday so here ya go. How was your experience? I didn’t stay for the mud people this year but my favorite part was still the big 18 wheelers filled with speakers. So good. Submit your photos of the parade via email or to the PoPville flickr pool here.
This year the street was more closed off than last year but after a while the barricades were crossed.
I’m not sure what part of the caribbean these folks were representing:
Lot of amazing costumes of course:
Lots more after the jump. (more…)

The Islander Caribbean Restaurant is located at 1201 U Street, NW. It always seems to be pretty crowded when I walk by but I haven’t yet eaten there. Any fans out there? What do you recommend?

Holy awesome. I think this was my favorite Caribbean Day Parade yet. Every year I get down to Georgia and New Hampshire too early. And every year I say I’m not going to come as early next year. But man was it worth the wait. Everyone was in a super good mood. Despite the brutal heat, the atmosphere was absolutely electric. The music? Phenomenal. The dancing? Off the hook, as the kids say. The costumes? Brilliant. But of course words can do this parade no justice. So I’ll post some of my favorite photos after the jump and I’ll continue to post some cool pics throughout the week. So if you took any photos that you are particularly proud of send them to [email protected] and I’ll post throughout the week. Best photo gets a free PoP t-shirt of course. So what was your favorite part of the parade? (more…)
