“Dear PoPville,
Other than McDonald’s, is there anywhere in DC that sells good old fashion, chocolate/vanilla twist soft serve? The ice cream stand at Union Market used to, but sadly, they don’t anymore. I’m a northeast girl who just loves her a soft serve in a cone on a hot day, and it is one thing DC’s ice cream scene is sorely lacking. Any tips on where to find some would be appreciated.”
Queso from Lulu’s Winegarden
A few folks were saddened by Mexicue’s sudden closing (and a few were not.) Nevertheless a few folks mentioned the queso and Allie asks where to find the:

Your favorites?

Allison asks: “Where can we find the best quiche in DC?”
Last week I had this masterpiece from Dupont Market (1807 18th Street, NW.) I get my eggs fried medium, with swiss cheese on a ciabatta roll (but for me any roll will do.)
What is the perfect BEC to you? What type of cheese, what type of bread etc.? And most importantly where do you get yours?

Today’s question comes via reader request: “Reaching out to see if you can ask DC about their favorite metro-accessible coffee shops with ample seating. Looking for a place to pop in and have a working coffee break. Or, a coffee shop that would reserve a spot for you!”

“Dear PoPville,
Any thoughts on best Mexican restaurant for catering on Cinco de mayo?”
I suggested Mezcalero, Taqueria Habenero, Taqueria al Lado and Chicatana.
Any others they should look into?

“Dear PoPville,
Can you please send the word out asking if any restaurant is still serving potato skins? They’re my favorite and besides the random TGIF I haven’t seen any on any menus. Also my second favorite is nachos- beef, black beans and ALL the other good stuff that evenly spread on each chip. Can you help me out??”

“Dear PoPville,
my friends and I are looking to do an all day tour to find the “best croissant” in the DC area. If anyone has suggestions on where we cannot miss on our DC croissant tour please let us know!”
