Great news for the great Boundary Stone in Bloomingdale (116 Rhode Island Ave, NW):
“Chef Robert Cain, who has led the kitchen at The Red Hen since 2021, was recently named Divisional Chef for the All-Purpose Hospitality Group, expanding his role to oversee the menus at both The Red Hen and Boundary Stone. He’s spent the past several weeks reworking Boundary Stone’s menu, bringing the same scratch-made, seasonally driven approach to the neighboring pub that he applies at The Red Hen.
The result is a tightened menu that allows for more creativity and an elevated take on classic pub fare; new dishes include Crispy Chicken “Katsu Style” with cabbage, tonkatsu sauce and pickles; Cavatelli Bolognese with slow-simmered beef, tomato, carrots, celery, parmesan; and a Romano Salad with little gem lettuces, Parmesan and miso tahini dressing. Cain is also leaning further into Irish ingredients, including rashers and blood sausage, as well as sourcing specialty products like Tayto Crisps and Batchelors Baked Beans. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Devastated to see the Wonderland Ballroom streatery being taken down this morning. Appears to be because the permitting office has not gotten back to them, despite their efforts to secure a permit.” (more…)

From an email:
“Tiffany’s Bar & Bistro, the modern Mediterranean restaurant located on H Street’s historic corridor, is celebrating its one-year anniversary on July 15th. The husband-and-wife duo Malti Chaudhari and Mehmet Suktuli opened Tiffany’s in celebration of their love story and Mehmet’s Ottoman-style culinary roots. Tiffany’s is resemblant of the couple’s personal love story, as Malti’s engagement ring was purchased from Tiffany’s & Co, the couple’s marker of the beginning of their journey. Within days of the restaurant’s opening, the couple welcomed the birth of their daughter, whose name is carefully imbued in one of the restaurant’s many murals hand-painted by Mehmet and friends.
On Wednesday, July 15th, guests dining at Tiffany’s will receive a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the anniversary alongside their meal. (more…)
Thanks to Michelle for sharing: “These notices about Bagels Etc. anniversary were posted in the shop. It’s at 2122 P Street, NW” (more…)
I’m super excited about these! Kelly Towles does not disappoint! Kelly used some photos of old signs I’ve taken over the last 20 years and came up with this great shirt. Do you recognize any of the signs? Simply a small sample but some of my favorites. These shirts are VERY limited. I only ordered a bunch to bring in person to our 20th anniversary party which will be this August 27th at Moreland’s Tavern. AND there will be a new PoPville beer from our friends at Atlas Brew Works unveiled that night. AND my friend Austin Graff will be hosting a 45 minute chat/Q&A with me before we start quaffing those beers! Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to August 27th but definitely save that date!!
Here’s the front: (more…)
