It’s a big week here at The Hill is Home! We’re only a few days away from our one-year anniversary, and couldn’t be more excited about how far we’ve come since our first post last spring. We’ll share some of our proud achievements with you in a post later this week, but until then, thank you for reading. And now it’s time again to pour yourself a second cup of coffee and catch up on some reading…
- People are still buzzing about Ted’s Bulletin! Katie, from We Love DC, interviewed the owners about why they love DC and Capitol Hill so much. And City Paper’s Young & Hungry stopped by for a milkshake and to take some pictures.
- Prince of Petworth announced that Taylor’s H Street location will start staying open until 2:30 am every Thursday in addition to the normal late night hours Friday and Saturday until 330 am.
- Speaking of food, CNN did a great video feature on Curbside Cupcake.
- According to someone on Overheard in DC on DCist, the neighborhood reminds them of Hoboken…
- I didn’t realize this but the first time a house on the Hill sold for over $1 million was in 2000. A little more background can be read on Prince of Petworth.
- Live in Hill East? An Urban Turf reader is thinking about buying there and wants to know what other Urban Turf readers think of the area.
I did an expat year in Hoboken in 2004…there are some similarities. It’s a great walking town. And Hoboken has much better food. Four bakeries on the main street. The Delis. The pizza.
But it’s crazy expensive. Had we sold our rowhouse near H ST NE we could have maaaybe purchased a 2 bedroom condo.
Ultimately we came back here and one major reason was the Hill community.
I initially chose Hoboken thinking it’s so close to the city, it’ll be like Brooklyn…no. It felt more Jersey meets Desperate Housewives to me.
