Penn Quarter Living on Twitter is here and on Facebook is here.
Chinatown – Chinatown Coffee Company should be open by the time you read this. Yet another reason the East End is ‘da bomb. [CCC on Facebook]
Dupont Circle – Another Real World tracking page over at the CityPaper. Don’t forget there are a bunch of Real World Twitter hashtags out there if you *really* need to know where they are. [Washington CityPaper] & [#realworlddc] & [#rwdc] & [#rwwatch]
Capitol Hill – A DC newbie shares her view of settling in DC. If only she knew *how* much better it is here than it was in the 80s and 90s. [The Hill Is Home]
Georgetown – The Georgetown DC Public Library at Wisconsin Ave and R Streets NW looks pretty spiffy and Georgetowny. [The Georgetown Metropolitan]
Shaw – Stars and Bars poker (Texas Hold ‘Em) comes to the EFN Lounge and Motley Bar (formerly BeBar) on 9th Street NW. As David Letterman would say, “Please…no wagering.” [Baanc (Blagden Alley and Naylor Court) Blog]
U Street – “Top shelf” burger joint coming to 14th Street, NW. What do Spike and Ray think about all these me too places? [14th & You]
Ward 8 – Farmer’s markets are everywhere! That’s greeeat! [River East Idealist]

Glover Park – Our favorite German restaurant, Old Europe, gets a write up. We popped by Glover Park recently and took note of some of the changes in the last five years. The Apollo Market is now Surfside, Busara is now Blue Ridge, there’s a Z Burger, the Grog & Tankard is now Gin and Tonic and *lastly* there’s a big hole where JP’s used to be. Rockland’s BBQ and Max’s Ice cream are still there. Phew! [Capital Spice]

Just got a cup of coffee from Chinatown Coffee Co. Absolutely amazing! I believe I now have a new favorite coffee shop in DC.
More than the coffee, I was very excited to hear they would be serving treats from patisserie Poupon in Georgetown. Does get me wrong… the coffee is really god, the space with the exposed brick and free wireless is very nice but have you ever had Poupon’s pastries? I have and would love any chance to buy them three blocks from my house!!
Well, apparently, the deal isn’t set in stone yet so no decent pain au chocolat in Chinatown quite yet. Sad.
FrechTwist-
Can you tell us more about thos pastries? I have never been to Poupon, and I refuse to eat the junk served in the neighborhood after a trip to Paris last year. Burnt or greasy crouissants are never tasty.
The Chinatown coffeeshop should stay open until at least 10 or 11pm. I think that this would garner a ton of business, particularly with all of the people getting on/off the Chinatown busses.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The cappuccino from Chinatown Coffee Company is a yes; takes like cafe cubano in Miami. Strong coffee — I added sugar. Bagels from Whatsa Bagel, didn’t try the pastries.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
