Bars, restaurants, clubs, and taverns tend to be pioneers when it comes to improving a neighborhood -- throughout the District, it's often bar-owners that have aggressively moved into areas ahead of the broader rush. But when are there too many bars for a neighborhood's own good? That's what residents along the blossoming H Street NE will soon be debating. more ›

Now that we've passed the halfway point of 2011 and the long-in-progress tracks between 3rd and 14th Streets along H Street NE are in a state of near-readiness, people have begun to get excited about riding a D.C.-operated streetcar next year. Uh, might want to rein in those expectations. more ›

It was with a sad heart that 14th Street area residents, like me, learned that HR-57 was closing its location at 14th and Corcoran Streets NW after nearly 20 years. However, I was glad to learn that the jazz club was relocating to H Street NE because of cheaper rent. The new HR-57 was supposed to open in January. However, it's February and there has been no movement at their supposed new location at 816 H Street NE and owner Tony Puesan isn't saying why. more ›

Last Thursday, we reported that popular H Street NE restaurant Sticky Rice had been temporarily closed by the Metropolitan Police Department after a "non-fatal stabbing incident" occurred on their property on December 29. We've now received word that the restaurant has reopened -- but will not be serving alcohol until an upcoming hearing with the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration. more ›

Anyone who frequents the H Street NE corridor will tell you that the popular H Street Shuttle has made life much easier since its arrival in 2009. The shuttle serves as a compliment to the X2 Metrobus, connects multiple wards and, perhaps most importantly, is a boon for businesses around a corridor which has been hampered by construction for the better part of the last couple of years. But the shuttle will soon be a luxury of the past: service will cease after December 31. more ›

Some fascinating photographs came across my computer screen the other night -- images taken from the recent history of D.C., but ones that showed how far the city has come, or, in some cases, hasn't. The images are the work of Michael Horsley, who had a rare eye for the future when he set off through the streets of the District of Columbia in the mid to late 1980s with his camera, hoping to capture a scene which is, despite being only a little over twenty years old, feels totally foreign today. more ›

I'm an unabashed fan of Restaurant Week, though I normally spend my dollars on several $20 lunches instead of $35 dinners. But with tax, tip, and a glass of wine, that $35 prix fixe meal can quickly become a $60-plus affair. But not on H Street NE. more ›

Looting a beloved restaurant is bad enough; looting one that's just been gutted by a fire is even worse. But that's exactly what happened to the Argonaut over the Independence Day weekend. City Paper's Rend Smith more ›

Star and Shamrock Tavern and Deli is the latest eatery to sprout up on H Street NE. Doors opened last weekend for a soft opening period, and the restaurant's full menu rolls out tonight. Think deli with an occasional sprinkle of Irish/Jewish fusion sprinkled in. more ›

Obviously, we're fond of recently-passed indie icon Alex Chilton around these parts. Fitting then, that one of Chilton's most well-known stanzas -- "hangin' out / down the street / the same old thing / we did last week" -- so accurately describes some of the delays in H Street NE's evolution into the city's next corridor du jour. more ›

Businesses along the commercial corridor on H Street NE don't have to pay their most recent real estate property taxes until September 15, 2010, thanks to a bill passed by the D.C. Council on Tuesday. Ward 6 Council member Tommy Wells (D) introduced the measure to help small businesses in his ward that are struggling to stay afloat during the ongoing H Street Streetscape construction. The bill was passed unanimously. more ›

A nice, sunshine-y composition from keever04 that looks like it belongs on H Street NE. If only because there's a bar there called the Red and Black. But this is Mt. Pleasant, not H Street, and the standout colors aren't the red and the black but rather the blue and orange of the payphone. more ›

The popular free shuttle that serves the up and coming H Street NE corridor will be forced to cease operation on Sunday, Dec. 6, thanks to its funding from the city having dried up. more ›
