I’d never noticed this sign before perhaps because it’s not facing the street but info is super interesting:
It’s located next to Vinoteca Wine Bar on 11th:

It is so wild how this was placed directly on the side of a row house. Do you like it or think it’s a bit over the top?

I’m always facisnated by the particular brick used on this home. There are a few other examples of this type of brick in Adams Morgan, I think. Do you think the fourth floor is original to this home or a pop up?

I stopped by for a drink last night and learned some very interesting news – all of the crazy memorabilia is being removed. Apparently it belongs to a (possibly defunct) museum in Baltimore. I asked the bartender what the new theme would be and he said he wasn’t sure.
And here’s even crazier news from twitter – @HStreetDC writes:
“H St’s @RedandBlackBar and Palace of Wonder will have new partnership: Red and Black Palace. Great new burger joint, bigger bands
and
Joe Englert presenting plans to ANC’s ABL committee to combine Palace of Wonders and @RedandBlackBar.”
I also asked the bartender about this but he said he hadn’t heard about it. Stay tuned for more info as it becomes available.
Update: More from HStreetDC in the comments:
“Englert and Nicklas presented the merger to the ANC6a ABL committee on Tuesday night. They have to tear out a second floor wall between the two places and even out the floor levels to make one big performance space with a good stage. They can get national level bands with the additional space. The burlesque-type acts will still be featured several nights a week.
They’ll add a real kitchen with American food, featuring gourmet burgers. Food probably by Folkman and Cashion.
Why the ABL? Two liquor licenses, two voluntary agreements. They’ll have to merge them and that requires bureaucratic changes.”

This building is located at 1630 19th Street, NW and actually houses a skin clinic. Nice diggs for a clinic! Anyway I like how it blends the old with the new. Does the more modern expansion work for you?

I think this is gonna be super difficult but a reader has faith. He writes:
“I picked up this rather old postcard last weekend at a shop in Harpers Ferry. I think it’s the perfect caption contest pic to run for St. Patrick’s Day”.
So we’ll just have to have two caption contests today!

“Dear PoP,
My housemate was held up at gunpoint last night in the alley between 10th & 11th, between French & S. She asked me to spread the word to neighbors – the attackers were 2 African-American females, approximately 15-18 years old. (She did file a police report but I don’t have all the details that she gave the police.)”
There was also a mugging at 14th and T Streets, Monday night. Just a reminder to always be aware of your environment. While you can’t prevent every mugging, staying alert helps.

Bistro Bistro is located at 1727 Connecticut Ave NW. We noted their grand opening back in June ‘09 (for some reason that post got messed up but the comments are still there).
I know folks are fond of the nearby Bistrot du Coin.
I think enough time has passed to properly judge Bistro Bistro. You can see their menus here. Any fans?
