Got Valentine's Day Plans?
A few neighborhood spots are doing something special to mark the occasion. These solid options should have you covered whether you plan to spend the evening with your significant other, or just fly solo. DC Harvest (517 H Street NE) offers a "sensuous dining experience featuring our locally sourced winter menu along with opulent specials" and a new reserve wine list and romantic cocktails. You can make reservations through Tock. There's a $5 per person deposit, but it's refunded when you dine with DC Harvest on the 14th. Church & State (2nd floor 1236 H Street NE) is running a couples cocktail special where $20 gets you truffles and two cocktails 7:30pm–midnight. Downstairs on the 1st floor of 1234 you'll find the Anti-Valentine's Day Party (and plenty of old school video games) at Atlas Arcade.

Does anyone know if they are tearing down those old buildings across from CVS on H and 7th?
There is a chain link fence around them now and it sure look like they are coming down.
Yes--the lot is being turned into condo buildings.

As you can see, not everything in that part of the block is coming down.
Thanks, It is a shame but at least the corner building will be incorporated as a fauxcade.
I am surprised the sushi building held out.
