Farragut Square is named for Admiral David Farragut, who #OTD in 1864 commanded the Union fleet that captured Mobile Bay during the Civil War. The statute of Farragut was cast from the bronze propellors of his flagship, the USS Hartford. #WashingtonDC
@natsfan2852 @OldTimeDC @JimmyTsPlace Agreed! I moved to DC from NYC and my ONLY gripe is there are no diners. I miss a good diner. Otherwise, it was the best move I’ve ever made.
@rockonteurs@NickHeyward@garyjkemp@guypratt One of the best @rockonteurs pods. Equally fascinating and funny. #PelicanWest is exactly the tonic we all need now - upliftingly joyful/escapist dance music with wicked brass licks, natty lyrics, jangly/scratchy guitars. Pop bliss from a stone cold 80s seminal classic.
On New Year's Eve, Paul and I were lucky to run into Norm Lewis at the Tazza Cafe across from the Kennedy Center, where he stars in A Soldier's Play! He was nice enough to take this selfie with us! We saw the play already; it's great!
Happy New Year!
Waiting for more details, but @westernmarketdc is adding a 14 seat bar serving serving "upscale beverages and small plate food offerings" alongside a retail store selling beer and wine according to a new liquor license application.
