Too Much H1N1 Vaccine? Or Too Many H1N1 Vaccine Clinics?
Thursday marks the opening of the second TangySweet location, this one in Penn Quarter (the former Juan Valdez Cafe). The store is in addition to their latest trendy venture - Red Velvet Cupcakery. To celebrate the opening, they will be serving up free frozen yogurt from 11a.m. to 11 p.m. Take a look at our story on the opening of the first Tangysweet location. For those of you willing to brave the cool temps and knock-down winds predicted for tomorrow, enjoy!

I give this place 3 months before they shut it down due to lack of business. That corner is cursed.
TCBY called from 1987, they want their fad back.
This is different fro, TCBY. The new stuff literally tastes like plain yogurt, just frozen. TCBY was more flavored and was really just like low-fat soft serve. If you had tried the new stuff, you would taste how its different.
Seriously. There are now three new frozen yogurt places between tangy sweet on P and Adams Morgan.
Any news on the JuicySweet shop around the corner? They're supposed to serve whole fish hand-bashed on a rock, courtesy your host Gollum. I could do without the singing, though.
Is this city too classy for a White Castle? We had one before. What happened to cheap affordable foods for the poor and lower middle class? I never go into these joints.
No time for sit and spin.
I was just thinking the same thing! Low income DC residents are terribly underserved by the fried starch and processed meat industries. Why, did you know that there is not a single place in Penn Quarter to buy a 40 of Micky's? Classism! Where is Marion Barry on this? I demand justice! Disgusting, greasy, barely edible justice!
I'm not rich and I'm not poor but what I want is a Dollar Menu store. Dollar burgers and dollar drinks. No frills
or refills.
Last time I checked, McDicks still had a dollar menu. Granted, the toilet looks like a cholera epidemic and you might get raped in the upstairs booths, but you can't make a McMuffin without breaking eggs.
No I mean a real dollar store. All food one dollar. Low class greasy sliders. Greasy fries. One dollar tall boys. One dollar single beers. One dollar popcorn. Plexi glass windows three inches thick. One dollar hot dogs. Feed the whole family.

No we didn't. We had Little">http://silverspringhistory.homestead.com/LittleTavern.html">Little Taverns, which were far better than White Castles. About the closest you'll get to decent cheap sliders would be the ones at Hard Times.
And yes, DC is far to classy for cheap food. We want our burgers on toasted brioche and slathered in fois gras, or made from seared ahi tuna with lime "foam" leaking out it's ass onto a pile of "deconstructed" sesame seed bun. I had a bunch of Krystal burgers on the way back from Tennessee. Damn. After a night's debauchery, them things was good. They go through you like a Ferrari, but you're sitting down anyway, so you might as well pretend you're Steve McQueen in Le Mans while you're blasting dookies and shifting gears.
Ah Monkey - now you make me nostalgic.
So many nights spent scarfing down bags of LT's "dirtyburgers" after a night spent hunting cheap women and nasty shooters at Poseurs. And the colonic consequences the next day....still brings tears to my eyes.
LTs are now mostly Chinese restaruants aren't they? And Poseurs is a high-end running clothes store - or a coffee house - or some shit.
You made it to the next day? Little Tavern burgers had a gastrointestinal half-life of twenty minutes tops before you went suborbital. And if you "bought 'em by the bag" those afterburners could really kick in. I think it's them little onions.
There may have been a few times I shite the tweeds on the way home. But I do have vivid memories of more than one green meat attack on a Sunday. Spending the Sunday on the bowl is one of the few guarantees of reading the Post cover to cover.
I find the idea that a cupcake shop could be trendy pretty laughable. Ah, yes, this is DC, where early-2000s trends from nearby large cities go to die.
So, anyone taking bets on when this overpriced cupcake trend is going to tank? I'm really hoping Cakelove goes first since they were the first to start this stupid trend in DC. And naturally, their cupcakes suck the hardest: rock-hard little $h!tcakes slathered in stucco. "But you have to wait until the buttercreme frosting gets to room temperature!" F--- YOU. Warm or cold, those dessicated turds taste like wide-open a$$.
If I wanted a $4 buttplug covered in frosting, I'd have stayed at home with a tub of Betty Crocker fudge and a box of used erotica.
I've got diabeeteez so cupcakes and me don't mix. No sale.
What's not to like about cupcakes? I agree that Cakelove blows and it is a little silly that there is a cupcake trend, but they're hand-held comfort frosted with happy childhood memories....or lard topped with sugar, but either way, if cupcakes are wrong I don't want to be right.
Monkey, that may not be too far off. Lovecafe is suddenly not opening till 11am, which means no more weekday breakfast.
Not soon enough. This crapcake nonsense seems to be the exclusive purview of the man-child and his androgynous, birth-control-bespectacled "date". The only cupcake a real man eats is the one between a fine honey's legs.
Agreed. There are two kind of "Little Debbies" I like to munch, and one of them is worth going to jail for.
if everything that the dcist commentariat wished for happened, this city would be rather different.
conversely, how much that actually happens around here is opposed by a huge number of commenters?
our influence is directly proportional to the size of our keyboards.

Maybe the DCist commenters could get an honorary seat at the City Council? Office of Planning, maybe? Metro board...no?
Okay how about three barstools reserved at the Meeting Place?
I thought TangySweet was a new "special sauce" flavor at Junkpunchers. No??
The only people who eat at these yogurt places are women. God bless 'em.
patently wrong ma'am/sir.
hang out at mr. yogato. lots of men there. including me.
So how does it feel to pay TangySweet prices as an adult at a store that a few toddlers decorated? I guess you're paying for the laughs and high fives and Braveheart speeches and Mr. Robato dancing that comes with your that come with your yogurt drenched in olive oil and caked with basil. Total bang for your buck.
You ain't got to lie Craig, you ain't got to lie! I've seen plenty of men up in that place - and your little dog too.
I am totally addicted to tart fro-yo now, and work in the area, but...damn it's awfully cold and nasty out to be thinking about frozen anything.
I just walked by there and there was no indication of free yogurt!
Tried it... hated it. Won't go back.
