Penn Quarter – Our neighborhood gets frequent mentions in this list of top dining neighborhoods for 2011. We heartily agree that it is the place for dining and an all around night out in DC. Of course, we’re biased. [Eater DC]
Downtown/Shaw – The next ANC2C meeting is tomorrow at 6:30 pm at the Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Library at 1630 7th Street, NW. One item of note…Elisir Restaurant is petitioning for a sidewalk cafe. Nice! We’re also digging the great ANC2C Twitter feed coverage…very refreshing! [ANC2C agenda] & [ANC2C Twitter feed]

14th Street – Pearl Dive Oyster Palace opens and gets a good review from Sietsema. We love oysters so we know a field trip is in order. [WaPo]
Georgetown – The Barnes & Noble on M Street shutters over the weekend. We’ve ducked in here many a time to pass the time while waiting for the dinner hour to arrive. Fortunately, our own downtown Barnes & Noble remains open. [Georgetown Metropolitan] & [Federal News Radio]

The write up should have been a woman claimed she was sexually assaulted. The press rightly reported it that way; things may not always be as they seem.
