Belly up, fired, and retired

Yeah, once I figured out the parking around H Street it became a surprisingly easy endeavor. Never felt unsafe or got hassled by anyone.

Sadly, it’s just not going to be a place I visit too often anymore.

It hasn’t been ten years…it’s been a few


But the point is I would go to U Street cause of the 930 Club and Black Cat and U St Hall (RIP) and a few record stores


What is there on H Street to go to? RNR Hotel was a crummy venue

Now I don’t go anywhere other than the Post Office and the CD Cellar (and they got a new guy pricing so it’s gone to hell)


Some life

I work nearby and would hit Whole Foods for a pint and Craft Beer Cellar (one of the best beer stores in DC) for takeaway beer. I went to Granville Moore's once or twice but mussels make me violently ill and there's cheaper Belgian beer found elsewhere. Maybe there are some other good food destinations down that way? Probably a question for Yada, I don't really follow the foodie scene.

I say that in the past tense of course.

There was a shooting at the Whole Foods last year but that was an anomaly. That end of H Street always seemed pretty safe though maybe it gets a little sketchier down toward RNR. The one or two times i had been to RNR lately i had parked up in the Whole Foods area and walked down.

All in all though i think that area has markedly improved in terms of safety, though i haven't read the stats.

Bistrot du Coin? What year is it?  2005? Are they still serving Clicquot as a loss leader? Do you hit up Russia House afterwards?

If it’s still a great place what’s the problem? It’s not as if I go there a lot..

If I find a place I really like I stick with it…

I mean I been going to Dupont Circle since 93..it’s one of my favorite neighborhoods…unlike H Street it’s a great area full of beautiful homes..it’s nice walking around

hey, can we get a TRIGGER WARNING first, before you violently & accurately resurrect a sweetcell from a decade and a half ago?


at least you left Sign of the Whale alone…

Then all the LNS kids roll down to Smith Point and, (hopefully, a few hours later) Poundtown.

Never heard of these places!

Smith Point was a bar in Georgetown where a group of douches with a website called "Late Night Shots" used to hang out. Poundtown was their euphemism for sex.

We discussed this ad nauseum on here circa 2004.

And all of these insults are in good fun. I could very easily be convinced to do the Bistrot du Coin -> Russia House twofer nowadays (absent COVID).

I'd buy the vodka shots

Who wants to ogle Ovechkin's significant other and get the shit beat out of them?

In good news
Fox "news" fired Harlan Hill, who called Kamala Harris a "lying bitch."

It’s over for Brooks Brothers in DC

I bet you ended up in a Ruby Ts at least once or twice in the 90-00s
I would believe you if you said you never stepped foot in a sizzler

My first ever shot of Goldschläger was at Ruby Tuesday at the Mall of Orange while I was waiting for my girlfriend to finish up her shift at Wet Seal. That was 1995-96.  I don't think I've been in one since.

actually, if i stepped in a RT, it would have been in the naughts when i was a consultant and traveled constantly.  ate in a lot of "casual dining" type places.  RT had to have been in there, but i don't specifically remember it.

you are correct about sizzler.

There is so much going on here.
