I had the good fortune of getting a little preview of Dauphine’s yesterday and my God it is delicious. It is our reward. This is what we got through the hellish last year for. Dauphine’s. Delicious Dauphine’s. It is delicious in every sense of the word. The build out is absolute beautiful. The decor (inside and outside.) The service/people. And of course the food. A+. Normally I don’t like to raise expectations too high. But I’m gonna make an exception for Dauphine’s. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to alert you to the fact that buried in the Mayor’s last Covid update about weddings is a line that states, “Standing and dancing receptions are not allowed.” (Paragraph 4 on page 9.) This is brand new, and means that starting May 1, there can be no dancing (or standing?!) at wedding receptions in DC.
M.O. 2021-060 Modified Measures in Phase Two of Washington DC Reopening
There was no warning that this restriction was coming, and as everything is opening up more and more, it took everyone completely by surprise. As a bride who postponed her DC wedding from last summer to this summer in order to keep our guests and community safe, it’s extremely disappointing that an entirely vaccainted group of individuals cannot gather for a wedding reception and dance, masked and socially distant. It is also confusing why dancing was allowed before but, as cases have gone down and more and more residents are being vaccinated, the city has now decided to ban dancing. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you can post a question on the site about library access? Wondering why schools and retail are “reopening” but access to browse at the library is still restricted. I emailed the chair of the council cmte yesterday but haven’t heard back.”
DCPL currently says:
“As libraries open in phases, there will be limits on the services offered in each phase. Our goal is to gradually offer more services as health restrictions are relaxed. As each library will require some reconfiguration in order to accommodate the need to social distance, library services may look differently at each library based on the location’s space layout. Additionally, some of the public spaces in libraries may be needed as staff space to ensure materials are handled safely and staff can social distance.
The Library is currently open for limited in-person services. You can visit our open libraries to: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you could start a thread regarding mask-wearing outside. I saw the CDC said it was OK to be outside without a mask, but when I walked around yesterday, I saw most people wearing a mask. I’m fully vaccinated and feel comfortable but also don’t want to be “that guy.”
So, for those fully vaccinated (2 weeks post 2nd dose or J&J) do you feel comfortable walking around now outside without a mask?

*update I finally found mine with some help from some patient twitter folks but it was not easy (have to save as the PDF form.)
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, DC Health announced the launch of DC MyIR, a web-based portal that gives District residents secure, easy, and free access to their official COVID-19 vaccination records. The portal, found at myir.dc.gov, allows users to view and print official copies of their vaccination records, and their dependents’ records, at any time. (more…)
