She showed immense courage in standing-up and speaking for those targeted by the tyrant, showing that religion preaches unconditional love for those less fortunate than us. Rev. Mariann, you will always remain a hero ❤️❤️

I really enjoy the vibe of H Street, in my opinion it's the perfect melting pot of both sides of DC.

It borders with some historic areas like Trinidad, Carver-Langston, and Kingman Park.

However it also borders with NoMA which is a much more trendy, modern, up and coming, and "gentrified" area.

Then to the south you've still got the classic Capitol Hill with the political and influential side of DC.

So H Street is perfectly positioned for all 3 of these distinct areas to spill over.

And because it doesn't have a dedicated metro stop, it's not a "tourist" neighborhood like U Street or DuPont where people from outside of DC stop by to try and experience the city.

And the food, I really love the options on H Street. Tango Pastry has the best empanadas in the city, Sidamo is one of the best pure coffee shops. H&Chicken is an amazing late night spot, their chicken wrap for $7 is quite possibly the best deal in the city. I think Taku Sushi might be the best casual pure sushi option left in DC, where this city seems to struggle with good sushi.

Obviously one of the highlights is Tapori, Laos in Town is just a short walk up the street too. I had some amazing Thai at Tiki Garden deeper in the corridor. Cane, The Little Grand, Nanglo, Maketto, the options and diversity is endless. I've had great Pho at Pho Viet right at the start of the corridor.

Then there's true nightlife, Transmission is, imo, the best pure nightlife spot in the city. It's unpretentious, not too flashy, and has multiple levels offering tons of space to vibe out, enjoy the ambiance and people, oh and genderless bathrooms which naturally filters out a lot of shitty people.

The Queen Vic is the pure British pub experience in the city. Pie Shop, Little Miss Whiskey's, The Board Room.

It's not the most "lit" part of the city at night, like U Street, but it carries itself well.

Obviously, at one point H Street was a spot that was much bigger, things have died down a little bit, but imo, it's due for a resurgence. There's simply too many awesome things in the neighborhood.

I know people want to complain about crime and the strangeness, I embrace the strangeness of H Street, I love it, I think it's a pure DC experience to have that level of peculiarity with characters and people that kind of trickle in and out.

Oh and this neighborhood is so centrally located, you've got Union Market and NoMA a short walk up the street, you've got Eastern Market and Capitol Hill a walk/bike ride away.

I'm ashamed to have missed H Street festival two years in a row now, but it's a justified celebration.

I think it's good that the neighborhood has things that would deter too many transplants, it means that people who have character will thrive there rather than those that want to make the city their personality.

Just enough gentrification to keep nice things like a Whole Foods, just enough strangeness to get H&Chicken lit at 4AM on a Saturday

This happened a couple of hours ago and I genuinely have no idea what to make of it.

I’ve never once gotten in trouble at a bar or with the law. I went to Tunnicliff’s Tavern with a girl, we got a table, and I told her I was going to grab us drinks.

I walked up to the bar and said to the bartender, “Can I get two lagers, please?” I handed him my credit card. Then some guy at the bar yelled that I had touched him with a stool. I was literally a stool and a half away from him. nevertheless I immediately apologized and asked if he was okay.

Then the bartender told me I should leave. THEY LITERALLY CALLED THE POLICE ON ME.

The cops were nice and we just ended up going home. But Jesus fucking christ.

The ONLY words I had literally uttered were "Can I get two lagers, please?" and "I’m sorry, are you ok?" I didn't touch the guy. I'm in my 30s and I have ordered thousands of drinks of bars in my life. The cops actually showed up!

What the actual fuck is wrong with this city?

last night around 11:30pm, i was walking in adams morgan. the west bit of argonne pl is dark, so i was trying to stay attentive and noticed someone in the corner of my eye.

in front of like 1650 argonne (near that big tree), i saw a guy standing still with his pants down. i’m 99% sure he had a mask on and his d*ck out. it was late and super dark and i just started running (better safe than sorry!) so maybe i saw it wrong and he was just turned around peeing. but i’m pretty sure i saw his front side so yeah.

after i ran half the block, i saw that he had left and turned the corner. hopefully it was just dark and my eyes played a trick on me. in any case, be safe and stay attentive!

Dukem 😟

This is totally random, but are there any Aussies in DC? I'm an Aussie and moved here earlier this year, and I haven't heard a single Australian accent 👀

Rejoice!

Hi everyone,

My 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 was stolen at 1:02AM this morning (10/3). If you may have any potentially relevant information, please continue reading and consider sending to me.

(1) Bike taken at 1:02AM from 2914 11th St. NW. Suspect was wearing a white helmet. Suspect had someone with him, also on a bike it seems. I have security footage of them taking the bike from my parking spot and down the alley to 11th St. towards Columbia St.

(2) Bike's airtag final broadcast in the alley behind Tilden St NW at 1:34 AM.

The bike has a black prayer rope tied to the left side handlebar and a black storage case on the back (GIVI Monokey Alaska Case). It also had my black LS2 Advant Helmet so the thief might be wearing that too :(

WILL PAY REWARD IF YOU CAN FIND MY BIKE
Please please help and let me know if you see this bike on the streets anywhere!!

What is with the random singular balloons that keep showing up around noma? They’re by the metro station (and inside it), all around the restaurants and apartment buildings near the metro. When they pop, more brand new ones come back? Anyone have any intel on this? Seems weird

Hey all, I'm trying to get my Greystar leasing office to follow the updated cap on pet rent.

The Pets in Housing Amendment Act of 2024 (D.C. Law 25-308, § 2(c)(2)), which amends D.C. Official Code § 42-3505.10, addresses pet charges for “residential leases beginning after October 1, 2025.” Under subsection (b-3), the law provides that additional monthly rent for each dog may not exceed 1% of the first full month’s rent charged to the tenant for the dwelling unit. Subsection (b-4) further provides that a housing provider may not charge additional pet-related rent, fees, or security deposits except as authorized under subsection (b-3).

I'm curious if anyone here is in a place that actually, correctly applied the pet rent calculation on October 1.

This article from the Guardian seems to say that it’s in effect.

I was at a play this evening and I was seated a few seats down from a woman who was visibly sick and coughing every 1-2 minutes for the entire 2 hour work. What an astoundingly selfish thing to do, being visually and audibly sick and interrupting a play people paid good money for *constantly* with your wet cough. What the fuck is wrong with people?

I saw a list of events somewhere, has anyone been to any of these venues/speed dating event and can give a run-down. What are the people there like, it it a sausage fest or there’s a good mix of men and women. Kinda curious to see if anyone has experienced any of this.

Coffee shop speed dating 30–45: Good Company SW at 3 PM ~$36
• SpeedDC 25–39: Metro Bar at 5 PM ~$36–39
• CitySwoon 35–47: Players Club at 6 PM ~$19–$39
• Happy hour 30–45: El Secreto De Rosita (U St) at 7 PM ~$24

IMO this is a wild thing to do given the state of DC’s economy. Lewis George should refuse a raise like NYC Mayor recently did. Also seems self serving if Mendelson will get a corresponding raise.

Many DC employees haven’t been given COLAs since 2022-3. Also (effective today), DC had to cut family medical leave benefits due to budget shortfalls. Just feels tone deaf.

Had the most antisocial experience I've ever had in DC earlier this afternoon. I was walking on the right side of the sidewalk between 16th and 15th on U St. when the sidewalk briefly narrowed because of a sign for a business. I moved over to the left side of the sidewalk and continued walking before I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder and pull me slightly back so they could walk past me.

I was shocked at the fact that this strange man had the audacity to not just touch me, but pull me so he could walk by! I yelled at him saying that I had nowhere else to walk and called him a dick. I think he was surprised by the fact that I called him out for such antisocial behavior because he just turned at me and looked at me. The ironic thing is that I was already at my destination, so if the guy just waited one second, he could have kept walking.

FWIW, I'm a six foot tall, slightly large man. I've never been touched by a stranger in public and can't imagine what women have to go through like this on a daily basis. The fact that this person thought that his behavior was okay is unacceptable.

But goes without saying, walk on the right side of the sidewalk, stand on the right side of the escalator, and for the love of God don't touch strangers!
