The Nut Bar, 10 Months Later
Just over 10 months ago the 5th street Safeway opened to much fanfare, including numerous mentions on this blog. It was an exciting time for all of us; no longer would downtown residents have to rely on CVS for day to day groceries. But one of the premier sections of the 5th street Safeway, the [...]
Jonas Brothers Come To PQ
With the Verizon Center schedule in its usual summer drought, we already take greater notice when an event is actually happening at the entertainment complex.

Potenza Adds Outdoor Seating
We’re not sure how long outdoor seating has been available at Potenza (15th & H streets NW), so we apologize if this is old news. Earlier this week we snapped the above photo showing the restaurant’s 15th street outside seating. That’s quite a view you get while dining alfresco.
MT Honors MJ
Walking up 10th street on Friday we noticed that Madame Tussauds had set up a table outside with a sign and guestbook in honor of Michael Jackson. At first we thought this was only a cheesy way to get people interested in visiting the wax museum; but a closer look revealed numerous entries in the guestbook (with fans waiting [...]
