The Washington Post says "Impala" from the folks behind the famed pop up taco stand Tacos Impala is coming to H Street next year.  We've heard this as well and are pleased that there is a location lined up for the return of these terrific tacos, which came to us from well-regarded H Street residents.

The Washington Post touts the back patio at Smith Commons and says they're growing their beer program into "one of the city's best."  We're lucky to have a number of great patios along H Street and Smith Commons is definitely one of our favorite.

Prince of Petworth's House of the Day is a nice one from the corner of 5th & G, which has an incredibly well-tended to yard.  It's one of our favorites in the neighborhood and is located at a great corner where each house has a really nice yard and where rose bushes have been planted in the corner tree boxes.  Bravo to the homeowner on the much deserved kudos.
