DGS Deli Coming To Dupont Showing a Good Sense of Humor
1317 Connecticut Ave, NW
A few weeks ago a What’s Shakin’ in the Makin’ requested by a reader looked at DGS Deli coming to 1317 Connecticut Ave, NW in south Dupont. At that time the owner wrote:
“We are still on schedule for summer opening.”
And to show they have a good sense of humor – now written on the future storefront:
“For 40 years the Jews wandered the desert. We promise it won’t take that long.”
And their Web site says:
“DGS Delicatessen will brine, cure, and smoke all of our meats and fish in house. We will be open for brunch, lunch, and dinner, with an all day to-go market and 85 seats inside the restaurant serving beer, wine and spirits.”
I’ll gladly wait a few more months for that!

Sounds pretty ambitious, since nobody’s really been able to make a go at a real, full-service deli in this city since before most of your readers were born.
The humor makes me suspect it’s operated by real Jews who know what they’re doing.
Good. There had better be lots of yarmulkes and complaining about the humidity behind the counter
Comet Deli was a great place to get homemade whitefish salad and H&H bagels.
And Sid and Bernice were awesome. RIP Sid.
+1. I loved the cheese sandwich at Comet, and from what I understand, Sid was a real force of good in Adams Morgan.
Oooh, I hope they are so successful they open another location in Penn Quarter – Dupont’s too far from my work!
They’re going to be kosher-style but won’t buy kosher meats. No pork/shellfish.
So excited for this place to open!
Just wonder how much things things will cost. Authentic, true delis are not cheap. Combine this with a location in Dupont, I imagine we will be seeing $16 for a sandwich & drink. Oofa.
