4720 14th Street, NW
This is the former pizzeria and hookah bar near Highlands Cafe. Thanks to a reader for sending word:
“Excited to have some (hopefully) good Greek food in the neighborhood!”
They also send more details from Rob Pigott who runs the Community Alliance for Upper 14th Street:
“The 4700 block of 14th St NW will have a new restaurant opening it’s doors this coming weekend…..I stopped by last evening and met the owners of the ATHENA GRILL. The business owners are the same family who operates La Villa Pizzeria (located at 14th & Crittenden). I expect that they will open their doors no later than March.
Also, on that same block (two doors down), Las Placitas will be opening, hopefully BEFORE March.”
Updates as they get closer to opening.
