“Dear PoP,
Any news about the commercial spot at 512-520 florida ave, NW Between 6th and 5th?? Everything I read back in September sounded like it was going to have something by the new year! I’m dying to know what ends up there!”
Last night @LeDroitParkDC tweeted:
“Shaw’s Tavern at 520 FL Ave NW scheduled to open in June. Wood oven pizza, pastas & tavern classics on the menu.”
Left for LeDroit shares a floor plan and writes:
The restaurant, slated to open in mid-June, will seat 65 – 70 people inside and 15 – 18 people on a sidewalk patio on the 6th Street front. On Florida Avenue near the eastern end of the building, the restaurant will feature a special door just for take-out pizza orders.
Inside, however, the restaurant will feature a variety of entrées priced from $12 – $18. Mr. May distributed a tentative menu.
Left for LeDroit wrote earlier in the week:
“we are told it will be similar to Clarendon’s Liberty Tavern”
Anyone ever been to Liberty Tavern?
More updates as progress continues on the space.
