Read MoreThe mother-daughter team that makes up Toli Moli, Jocelyn Law-Yone and Simone Jacobson, are having another pop-up restaurant event, this time in Columbia Heights at Thip Khao (3462 14th Street NW) on Tuesday, March 29th, from 3:00pm – 10:00 pm.

Read MoreWriting about people like Tarek Anandan is one of the things I like best about writing Petworth News: profiling a local resident who is following his heart, doing something exceptional, and someone you might otherwise not have realized lived a few doors down from you.
