“Dear PoPville,
Sitting in Baby Shank, Friday night at 10pm. There are two other tables in the whole establishment – seems weird for a bar, especially one that has a late night happy hour.
Curious if you heard any follow up from this article when the space was theoretically going to become something else.”
Baby Shank will be hosting an event this Sunday (9.21.25):
“Welcome to SUNGAZE — a Sunday afternoon rooftop gathering where the weekend lingers a little longer. Expect house music in all its sexy shades — deep, soulful, disco-inspired, and underground — paired with a warm, inclusive, and queer-friendly community. Think sunshine, playful energy, and euphoric vibes, with no dress code but plenty of freedom to express yourself. Grab a SUNGAZE signature cocktail, let the music move you, and step into your Sunday revival.”

“Bientôt à Washington, D.C.: @bonneviedc ✨🇫🇷
We are bringing modern French flavors and all-day dining to the crossroads of Dupont Circle, U Street & Adams Morgan.
Start your morning with espresso and pastries, linger over crisp salads and tartines at lunch, or join us in the evening for French bistro favorites like steak frites, duck confit, and lobster risotto. Pair it all with curated French wines, signature cocktails, and warm neighborhood hospitality. 🥖🍸
🕰 What makes us unique? Every detail tells a story: antique Lamberton and Limoge plates, vintage Sabatier copper knives, and walls adorned with treasures from French magazines of the 1920s to iconic prints of Monet, Bardot, Louis Armstrong, and JFK’s 1961 Paris trip. Dining here feels like stepping into a living archive of Parisian culture.
Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch, Bonne Vie is your new destination to celebrate la bonne vie: the good life, in DC. 🥂
📍 1604 U St NW”
