Taylor: It’s a Good Day for a Hoagie
Today Taylor Gourmet will be giving away a free Puck’s Soda with purchase of a hoagie or salad. I’ve never heard of Puck’s either, but this is an excellent reminder that Taylor is a great choice for a lunch break in the middle of your work week. After opening on H Street years ago, the…

Celebrity Sighting on H Street: Rhymes with Yo’ Mama
As we’re sure most people know by now, the Obamas dined at H Street’s newest chic eatery, Boundary Road, last evening. The whole 400 block of H was blocked off from 5-8pm.
