Turning Natural Coming to H Street NE

1380 H St NE; future home of Turning Natural juice bar.
Earlier this year, I visited Turning Natural, a vegan friendly juice bar on Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE. I remember thinking how great the staff was and how good the food (well, juice) was and that I wanted to visit again. Luckily, I won't have to go far next time. Turning Natural is bringing a similar concept store to 1380 H St NE in the former Ohio Restaurant space. Permits are up on site and the build-out is happening as we speak. No word on the opening date or exact format, but Turning Natural did say that the H Street concept would be dope, which has me pretty excited:
Here's a look at the current menu. I would love to see the vegan food menu at the new location, and of course the juices and smoothies, too. Good luck Turning Natural!

A Langston for Langston, But Not That One

Carver Langston has a new mural! The narrative features an abstract sort of geometric nature theme, switches to a sunglasses-decked woman representing Northeast DC, transitions to a male historical figure, then to a montage of pencils, an image of hands on a typewriter, then finally returning to the geometric nature theme to cap it all off. It's lovely, bold, colorful, and we deserve more murals like this in Carver Langston. But there's just one thing about this one...
