Posted by gpliving
October 30, 2009

If you follow Clyde’s restaurant around the corner into the G Street alley (otherwise known as the walkway to the entrance of the Gallery Place mall), you’ll find Clyde’s On The Walk.  It is the arm of Clyde’s restaurant that operates mostly during lunch hours and serves prepared foods.  Every year (usually in the summer), [...]

October 28, 2009

While we’re probably not the first place you heard the news, several sites are reporting that Nick Cho (now associated with Chinatown Coffee Co.) has been arrested.  The charges apparently stem from tax issues at Murky Coffee, which was a coffee shop on Capitol Hill.  You can get a lot more info from the sites linked to [...]

No surprises here, but as we’re reported on this location on several occasions, the newest PQ souvenir shop is now open for business.  Located at 1004 F st NW (the old K&B Newsstand) the shop opened for business on Friday.  Plenty of hats, t-shirts, and other knickknacks available.  Despite DCMetrocentric noting that the building resembles an Apple store, [...]

DCist has a nice preview of the new Long View Gallery Space (1234 9th St NW) located just across the street from the convention center.  At 5000 sq ft, this new location is quite an upgrade from their previous location, which was one block further north on 9th St and featured substantially less floor space.

October 20, 2009

Readers may be interested to learn that the Chinatown Community Cultural Center (CCCC) is holding a public meeting Wednesday night (10/21) at 6pm.  In typical fashion, the CCCC did not actively advertise the meeting to community neighbors and it is not listed on their event calendar, though we are assured that it is still happening.

Posted by pqresident
October 19, 2009

Many high rise dwellers keep pets in their homes but the lack of a yard precludes them from swinging open the kitchen door and ushering Fido or Fifi into nature’s water closet for their requisite breaks. What’s the upside? There is no lawn to mow. What’s the downside? It’s mandatory that Fido or Fifi go [...]
