Here’s what we were reading recently about neighborhood news in DC. Have something to add? Leave it in the comments!
Downtown – The National Christmas Tree Lighting takes place this Thursday, December 1. Mark your calendars and remember that traffic is always totally chaotic downtown that evening. The event even has its own website! [National Tree website] & [DC Event Junkie]
Penn Quarter – Did you know that Cube Libre (corner of 9th and H St NW) has salsa dancing late on weekend nights? Maybe the neighborhood will be gaining another spot to see live music… [WaPo]
Penn Quarter – Paul Bakery gets the judging treatment from a local website. We’ve been a number of times now that it’s been open a number of months and certainly enjoy the outdoor seating during the nice weather. The food works but hasn’t blown us away. They’ve also opened a store in Georgetown next to the Georgetown Park Mall entrance on Wisconsin Avenue. [Prince of Petworth]
Downtown/Penn Quarter – CityEats, an online restaurant reservation service, launches in DC competing in the same space dominated by OpenTable. A number of neighborhood restaurants have signed on including Graffiato, Social Reform (The Caucus Room), Acadiana, Asia Nine, Hill Country, Matchbox, and others.

National Mall – The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) approved preliminary site and building plans, final site utility plans, and final support of excavation and dewatering plans for the National Museum of African American History and Culture. This is one of the last sites available on the National Mall for building and museum construction. [National Capital Planning Commission (second item)]
Shaw – A nice retrospective from our neighbors to the north on the changes to the Shaw area over the last five years. We wish RenewShaw another great year of running their website and informative blog. [RenewShaw]
