Dear PoP – Scare Tactics Used to Oppose New Bistro in Old Post Office Building at 14th and T St, NW

The next “Adams Morgan” scare tactics come to H St, NE, Bloomingdale, Logan Circle, Columbia Heights T Street NW.  My favorite part is “New York investor”…

“Dear PoP,

I live on the 1400 block of T Street, site of the proposed Post Office Bistro.  Some alarmist neighbor slipped me this flyer last night, which makes a litany of exaggerated claims about the restaurant and states that “EVERYONE ON THE BLOCK NEEDS TO OPPOSE THIS AT THE MAY ANC MEETING” tonight (emphasis in original).  I generally stay out of these fights, but this flyer is so absurd that now I want to support the restaurant at tonight’s meeting.”

For those who missed the the post about the new bistro looking to come to the old post office building at 1407 T St, NW, the liquor license application said:

“Casual and relaxed bistro restaurant serving an extensive Saturday & Sunday brunch with and total occupancy load of 259. Request a Sidewalk Café with 56 seats and Summer Garden with 14 seats. In addition, requesting an Entertainment Endorsement featuring recorded music and DJ.”
