Gelato to Georgetown as DOLCEZZA Returns to Where it all Began in new Storefront this Winter!

By Prince Of Petworth

1300 Wisconsin Ave, NW previously home to a pressed juicery

From an email:

“I’m reaching out with exciting news from DOLCEZZA. The Washington, D.C.-based gelato & coffee shop is coming back to where it all started and opening a new shop in Georgetown this winter.

The new location, DOLCEZZA’s 7th in the DC area, marks a homecoming for founders Robb Duncan and Violeta Edelman, who opened their first tiny DOLCEZZA kitchen and scoop shop in Georgetown in 2004–that’s also when they began selling gelato in DC’s farmers markets, alongside many of the mid-Atlantic farmers they call friends and partners today. They quickly outgrew their 300 sq ft Georgetown kitchen and in 2012 they moved operations to a 4,000 sq ft gelato factory space in the Union Market neighborhood.

“DPW Smart Bins Reaches 1 Million-Pound Collection Milestone Thanks to Residents’ Food Waste Recycling Efforts”

By Prince Of Petworth

From DPW:

“As District residents are increasingly dropping off their food waste in the Department of Public Works’ (DPW) network of Smart Composting Bins, the agency has reached a major sustainability milestone, collecting 1 million pounds of compostable material.

The achievement marks a major environmental benchmark reached at an unprecedented pace across the District’s 31 Food Waste Smart Bins. It also represents one million pounds of food scraps diverted from landfills and transformed into nutrient-rich compost, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while helping build healthier soils. Composting one million pounds of food waste instead of landfilling it has the equivalent benefit of growing 3500 trees over 10 years. (more…)
