“In 2012 we opened Cusbah, a bright eyed and bushy tailed restaurant coming onto H St NE looking to change the scene of Indian/Pakistani cuisine by nixing the white tablecloths, playing Prince, shaking up craft cocktails, and serving some damn good curries and kebabs.

“Dear PoPville,
Local colleges have gone remote for the most part for the fall, so many students are not planning to return to dc anytime soon.
