Local blog Irbyisthename enjoyed brunch at Granville's (1238 H Street)American Eagle's inflight magazine Latitudes has visitors to H Street covered with plenty of recommendations for dining and the arts. Dust Jacket Dispatch gives a basic overview of the strip, and Washingtonian lists its top 14 picks on H Street in the piece Cool Comeback. We Love DC takes a closer look at the Popularise crowdsourcing approach to choosing a tenant for 1351 H Street. We Love DC is besotted with Toki Underground (2nd floor 1234 H Street), and Forking DC's a fan too. When you visit make sure to check out all your sake options, which The Huffington Post explored fully. Eater looks at Smith Commons (1245 H Street) as the restaurant turns one.Even if you aren't looking to devour the Burporken you should still try to catch a show over at Red Palace (1212 H Street). CBS just chose them as one of the best rock bars in DC.
A little off the main strip the Washington Post considers the future of the Uline Arena. Could it really become a music museum?

Hmm, I'm torn: on the one hand I'm disappointed Queen Vic doesn't get more love, the food is as good or better than anywhere else on H (except maybe Atlas Room and Ethiopic) and it's actually affordable too. On the other hand I'm glad the tourists will all be going elsewhere, so I can always get a seat! So I guess it all works out.

I've heard that Capital City Diner is closing. Can anyone verify or deny this?

Yeah, DCist just verified:

That's really sad. I was rooting for these guys but their block is still kinda sketchy and the Denny's certainly didn't help.

It's true. The owner had recently posted on Facebook about making a tough decision. I was worried that it might be about the diner.
