Vietnamese style eatery Ba Bay closed its doors back in November, and it looks like Hank’s Oyster Bar will be taking its place just in time for summer. This is sheer music to the ears of this Massachusetts native! The 3rd installment of Hank’s will be located at 633 Pennsylvania Ave SE, right near the [...]

by Heather Cipu This weekend marks a monumental event, or at least a fairly exciting one for many. St. Patrick’s Day will land on a Saturday. While not a legal holiday, the fact that this year’s Irish celebrations will take place on Saturday means we can all pretend like it is one…with day drinking! (Not [...]
Facebook? Been there. Twitter? Check. Foursquare? Um, what’s that again? For those of you who aren’t familiar (no, not you, those other non-tech savvy people among us) Foursquare is a location based social networking app. Basically you can check in and see where your friends and people nearby are.

Call me crazy, but the thought of traveling hundreds or thousands of miles for dinner is just plain, well, crazy! I can barely stand the wait at Matchbox on a Thursday night, let alone fight the traffic on I-95 for some (over-cooked) turkey and (lumpy) mashed potatoes! “Surely you want to spend time with the family that you love,” [...]

This fall, Advisory Neighborhood Commission 6A’s Alcohol Beverage Licensing Committee will conduct a series of meetings to explore the possibility of imposing a cap on the number of alcohol licenses available on the H Street, NE, corridor.

The speed at which the summer passes always astounds me. It’s as if there’s a ‘tick tock, tick tock’ echoing along with the crickets at night. That’s precisely why this post is going up now — there’s still time to prioritize ARTventures on H on your summer schedule. Plan accordingly and on June 30 from [...]
