“Dear PoPville,
It’s That Time of the Year, so:
I’m looking for a café or small market that’s offering a rich, thick, delicious pumpkin pie with a soft, fluffy crust.
Any recommendations?”

“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…)

“Dear PoPville,
With the weather getting colder, I’m searching for an Irish pub where they know how to pour a Guinness properly and have the warm comfortable atmosphere. Do you have any recommendations on where I should go?” (more…)

Thanks to GD for the nomination: “Run, don’t walk, to Nostra Cucina (320 D Street, NE.) The absolute best bolognese in the DMV! House made pasta, house made sausage!”

“Dear PoPville,
I know I’m going to push a lot of buttons here, but as a Southern California girl who grew up eating a true Jewish Delicatessens, I’d hands down say one of the best pastrami Reuben’s in DC is at the carving room in NoMa.
Had to pass this along.”

Trenton asks: “What’s the best sandwich in DC when considering quality, price, and convenience? My vote is 100% Prego Again. What do you think PoPville?”
Aside from the Crunchy Boi, chicken sandwiches, Reubens, turkey clubs, breakfast sandwiches, and sandwiches available for sit down at a restaurant, many more thoughts were had: (more…)

recently opened Italian Bar at 5008 Connecticut Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if the community could help me out on my search for a good vanilla Italian soda in DC! Before moving to DC, my local coffee shop had the best Italian Soda. I know it’s really just club soda and flavored syrup, but there is a certain nostalgia about sitting outside with an Italian Soda. I’ve been craving a Vanilla Italian soda for a few weeks but haven’t been able to find anywhere around DC that does them. Any recommendations on where to look?”
