Holy mackerel – my dream is becoming a reality!! For those still doubting the hotness of Ivy City – behold The Eleanor from Adam Stein and Nick Freshman:
“The Eleanor will be a Bar and Restaurant from several of the city’s industry veterans. Located at 1900 Kendall Street, Washington, D.C. in the Ivy City Neighborhood, the space is just under 7000 square feet to accommodate four bowling lanes, event/music space, movie screen, bar, arcade, large outdoor patio, and kitchen. From bar stools, to high-top seating, couches/lounge areas for seating at the lanes, and outdoor patio, we are expecting an occupancy of around 300 people.
The Eleanor is an idea fifteen years in the making. It originated in Yellow Springs, Ohio while Chef/ Owner Adam Stein attended school at Antioch College where a ten-lane bowling alley was for sale. Stein knew opening a venue with bowling lanes was something he wanted to do. Long story short, the lanes were sold and parted out to make room for a parking lot.
The Eleanor will offer a wide range of cocktails with many house-made components, mid-Atlantic draft beer, and an exciting bar menu featuring regional products in an approachable way. High open ceilings, concrete walls and floors will set the stage for a funky industrial space that will house four bowling lanes, movie screen, music venue, and nostalgic arcade games. Casual bistro meets art deco bowling alley is the aim.
The kitchen will focus on Adam Stein’s track record of sourcing sustainably from the region and in season. Daily food specials will be available to showcase the scratch kitchen and available products throughout the year. Fresh takes with attention to detail will be the hallmark.
The large outdoor space allows for special food events such as crab boils, pig and lamb roasts, and smokers for BBQ.
The heart of The Eleanor will be a multi-use space with stage and large movie screen. Along with offering regular nostalgic and holiday themed movies throughout the year, the screen can be used for first-run independent films from artists in the region, video game competitions, slide shows and presentations for events, coordinating visuals for music performances, and not to mention sporting events.”
I guess this is what I needed to finally download one of those fandagled car sharing apps the kids are always talking about. Buckle up and stay tuned for many updates as they get closer to opening!

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
