This is neat: a reader sent me this photo of 2905 Sherman Avenue NW, where it looks like a new Vietnamese place is going in. The sign reads “BÚN DC Vietnamese ‘Soc Trang’ Homestyle Cuisine.” Bún is a type of Vietnamese noodle bowl. Soc Trang is a coastal area so maybe that means more seafood…

Well, this stinks: Walters, the sports bar at 3622 Georgia Ave NW, has closed for good, according to PoP. The spot opened in 2015 as a joint venture between DC Reynolds and Looking Glass Lounge, which are on either side of it. At some point the Looking Glass folks sold their share to DC Reynolds.…

If you put up a live tree for the holidays, the city has some recycling options for you. Here’s the info from the city’s Department of Public Works: you can drop off your tree at two of the city’s trash transfer stations, and they’ll also be picking them up on your regularly scheduled recycling days.…

The other day I was running errands and noticed a new deli called Capo at 715 Florida Ave NW. I was hungry so I stopped in, and I’m glad I did — it’s awesome. They have lots of traditional Italian sandwiches plus pre-made things like ziti and lasagna, various kinds of pasta salad, as well…

It looks similar to &pizza but with more Mediterranean options like cauliflower and artichokes. Sounds pretty tasty. My friend snapped this photo the other day, so presumably they’ll be…

Bar Roubaix, the bar in the old Acre 121 space from the folks behind Marvin, the Gibson, American Ice Company and many more, is opening this Friday, Dec. 8, with a soft opening for neighborhood folks today, Dec. 7. A few friends got a preview last week and said they’ve extended the bar, and the…

This is neat: there’s a new cider spot coming to Georgia and Shepherd, in the vacant storefront in the Fahrenheit building (that black and red residential building.) It’s called Capitol Cider House and they’re aiming to open sometime in 2018. There’s an interview with the owner here at the Cider Culture blog. The spot looks very modern, and…
