If you like Vietnamese food, you’re in the right place. Our area has at least 6 Vietnamese spots, with old favorites Pho 14 on Park Road and Pho Viet on 14th plus newcomers Bún DC on Sherman, Vietnamese Chelsea on Park, Pho Viet USA on New Hampshire Ave, and now another similarly-named one: Pho Viet at…

Cuban restaurant Little Havana has just opened on the budding strip of 14th Street where the Red Derby, Lyman’s, Mescalero and Taqueria Habanero are — we were able to visit for their opening a bit ago and really enjoyed it. From Alfredo Solis, who also does Mescalero and El Sol, the inside is covered in…

If you’re an ice cream fan, here’s something awesome: two employees of Dischord Records have opened an outpost of Maine’s Mount Desert Island Ice Cream, based in Bar Harbor. The ice cream has had rave reviews over the year, including from President Obama. DCist has the story: the owners Brian Lowit and Melissa Quinley discovered…

Kraken Axes was a big surprise when it opened in the old Murry’s grocery store at Georgia and Morton: it’s a bar with axe throwing, a popular pastime in Canada, but not too well known here. I went a few months ago and had a blast, and heard about lots of other plans for the…

It’s been an interesting day or two — a brief water outage, followed by nothing, and then this morning the word came out that you should boil water you use to drink, cook, brush teeth, use in baby formula, give to your pets and more. Even for making coffee, a coffee maker won’t get it…

Now that Pete’s Apizza at 14th and Irving has closed (to be replaced by Wawa), a few people were asking what’s the best pizza that delivers to our area. Do you have any favorites? I’m a fan of Italian Kitchen on U (great sandwiches too), Duccini’s and Pizza d’Oro. If you’re looking for fancier pizza,…

This isn’t something you hear every day: former Trump lawyer Ty Cobb was spotted at Slash Run, the bar and restaurant on Upshur Street NW, where he watched part of a punk show featuring local band Copstabber.
