The End Of The Businessman’s Special?
It’s always interesting to see who is coming out of the B & K News Stand (1004 F ST NW) at lunch time. Not that we have anything against adult entertainment, but the guys in suits who come out with their heads down, trying not to make eye contact with anyone always amuse us. If [...]

Chocolate: The Breakfast Of Champions
We were not sure what to expect from Co Co Sala’s weekday breakfast (929 F Street NW); would they be too exotic for our weekday tastes?

Dining With Your Dog In The PQ
Anyone who walks regularly around the neighborhood knows that there is an ever growing canine population in the PQ. The walks are great but it is also nice to relax with your pooch and visit with friends at an outdoor café after a long evening walk. So slowly but surely, I’ve started a list of [...]
This Space Reserved For . . Construction Workers?
Some may have noticed the fence sitting on 7th St in front of the former CVS building on the NE corner of 7th & H St. The fence seems to move onto the sidewalk and out into the street depending on what type of work is being done on the buildings in front of it. [...]
