First the blight is removed, then the Waldorf Astoria opens, then the Old Post Office Clock Tower reopens and now the big news from José Andrés this morning (“A vibrant mix of sophisticated cuisine by @chefjoseandres & playful lounge spaces”):
People of DC big news! Today after a dream of 30 years I’m announcing we will open @bazaarbyjose in the Old Post Office! Building longer tables in the heart of our nation’s capital, welcoming people from across the city & the world🙏 I’ll share more soon.. @WaldorfAstoria @cgi_mg pic.twitter.com/CFf4QOmRzw

The Washington Post reports: “Bazaar will occupy the space that housed BLT Prime, the recently shuttered steakhouse helmed by New York chef David Burke, whom the Trumps had selected after the spectacular flameout of the original deal with Andrés.”
STAY TUNED.
We’ve come a long way since July 2015.
