“Dear PoPville,
Alfa Pie House (1750 H Street, NW, opened back in 2015) is a small business operating downtown in a sea of chain restaurants. I chatted with the owner and like all downtown businesses they are struggling. Their food is really excellent. If you’re headed to your office make sure to stop by for lunch or to bring something home for dinner.”

“Dear PoPville,
Now that the weather’s getting nicer – do folks have recommendations for good places (restaurants, coffee shops, etc) where there’s outdoor seating and the wifi extends outside? Looking to switch up the working from my couch.”

“Dear PoPville,
I was recently able to get the Covid vaccine in another state. Has anyone had success in unregistering from the DC vaccine portal? I got the J&J and do not require a second shot. I’d love to remove my name so that someone else can move up in line!” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had recently gotten my first vaccine dose on March 25th at the Convention Center. I had signed up for pre-registration through the DC.gov website and also through GW Hospital (I had received a separate email through GW telling me to fill out an eligibility questionnaire and if I qualified, I would receive an email from them inviting me to schedule an appointment.) DC gov responded first and I was able to get my first Pfizer dose on the 25th. My vaccine card states that the Healthcare Professional or Clinic Site was GWH (GW Hospital) even though I received it at the Convention Center.
After I received the shot, I asked the nurse who administered it about my second vaccine dose. She told me that I would get an email to schedule it in a day or two. When I checked my emails, I did receive an email from GW, but it specifically said it was for my 1st dose. And regardless, all of the appointments were booked for the time frame that I needed the second dose.
I called GW and they told me that they had nothing to do with the shots that are administered from the Convention Center, that they have a “partnership” but they are not directly responsible. (more…)
