Quest for the Best: Breakfast Spot

By Prince Of Petworth


1432 Park Road, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I’m reaching out the Popville community to crowdsource recommendations for a breakfast spot. Here’s the criteria:

Open by 8:30 on a Saturday morning,
Full breakfast menu (think eggs, omelettes, pancakes, et cetera); not just pastry’s, sandwiches, or avant garde foods,
Reasonably priced ($15 per person not including tip); yes, we can afford more, but we’re really looking for a hole in the wall with solid food.

Places that we’ve been and mostly meet the above criteria: (more…)

“Best foggy hikes/walks?”

“Dear PoPville,

Can the community recommend places to walk or hike to enjoy fog? The places where it collects the most and lingers the longest? Does not need to be within city limits. I just love the mystery and magic of fog, plus I want to remind a dear friend of mine of the monsoon season hikes he used to take in his country of origin. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I am a new DC resident interested in signing up for a marathon. I’ve heard from a colleague that the Rock n’ Roll marathon is a fun course, but it looks like it is only a half marathon now – not a full course (am I wrong about that)? I also heard the Marine Corps marathon is great, but I just missed it, and am hoping to run a race sooner than next October.

Does anyone have any race suggestions? I’d love to run a course that is more scenic, if possible.”

“Hanumanh— most underrated place in DC”

“Dear PoPville,

We just had dinner Hanumanh, which I am pretty sure is the most underrated place in DC. It might be because they are only open three nights a week. It might be because they were closed during COVID. Or it might be because the menu posted online has only four dishes, (but in reality there were a ton of choices). Everything we got was AMAZING.

Check out the actual menu (below). Get the tapioca dumplings!” (more…)
