2436 18th Street, NW – previously home to The Jerk Pit, Baja Tap, Big Sky, Mellow Mushroom, and Eighteenth and Red

Well happy Friday to us all after all!! I’m told that the Popal Group (owners of fellow Adams Morgan hot spots Lapis and the recently opened – Maison Bar à Vin) bought the building most recently home to The Jerk Pit (et al). Word on the street is that they plan to put The Berliner there. (more…)


When we judged Cafe Mozart I asked about the schnitzel and some folks mentioned Cafe Berlin located at 322 Massachusetts Avenue, NE. I know they have a great outdoor dining area. It’s a good place to stop when visiting friends on the hill. I’m wondering if you think it’s a destination spot though? Is it worth the travel for their schnitzel? Any other items of note?


I think Saf mentioned in the comments that you can get a mean potato knish here. Very good to know. Cafe Mozart is located at 1331 H Street, NW. And it is also apparently a German deli. But most important to me – how is the schnitzel?


Here’s another post for PabloMa. I’ve actually only been here once to watch a cool film on the national soccer team of Lichtenstein. The Goethe Institut is located at 812 Seventh Street, NW in Chinatown. It seems like they’re often hosting pretty neat events. I’m a little late on this one but they’ve been hosting a film festival called Film/Neu:

“Washington’s 17th annual festival of the newest in German, Austrian, and Swiss filmmaking brings a weeklong program of diverse films and special events to E Street Cinema and the Goethe-Institut January 23-29, 2009.”

Sadly tomorrow’s the last day but I’ll keep my eyes peeled and post future events.

Did anyone catch any films from this recent festival?
