Pyramid is Out – But What’s Coming In?

Pyramid is Out – But What’s Coming In?

By Ashley Robinson

You know what did not surprise me this week? The closure of Pyramid on K Street.

I’ve never really thought of it as a place to go and hang out. They used to have a popular trivia night, or so I hear. And I’ve never walked out after a meal clamoring for another visit.

Sure, it was a great location to host events or meet up with other Capitol staffers for lunch. It was accessible, it was easy, but it was lacking in character and healthy food options. (When I think of Pyramid, I think greasy bar food and some monster calorie-rich salads as an option.)

Thin Mints Are Here!!!

Sacramento -- Girl Scout cookies are (finally) here -- but only until Sunday, March 17.

Or, until they sell out... a sad fact I experienced last year.

Remember -- when Girl Scout cookies are gone, it's an entire year before they appear again.  Stock up now!  (You'll thank me later.)

Fly Your Carpet Over to Ali Baba's Kabob House.

Fly Your Carpet Over to Ali Baba's Kabob House.

AushakI am a very unobservant person. Oftentimes it is several months before I notice a new business or a new landmark. Not this time. I saw Afghani food mentioned on a sign and I was suddenly very aware. As in, checking every other day to see if the place had opened yet.

Ali Baba's takes over the small, nondescript place at the corner of 7th & L streets that had formerly been occupied by an Indian restaurant. In its first couple of days I saw it was open and immediately stopped in to try them out.
