Thanks to Emma for sending the update at Almeda at the former Little Vietnam (et al) space in Petworth:
“The interior is pretty much the same as Little Vietnam, but they put the espresso machine on the corner of the bar and you use a kiosk to order. At least in the morning it’s the same Little Food Studio menu (sausage rolls for the win!). The manager also said dinner service started.”
Almeda writes on their IG:
“The cat is officially out of the bag! My restaurant space is now officially two concepts under one roof! @littlefoodstudio is now LFS cafe at Almeda! @Almedarestaurant is our evening concept, serving Afro-Fusion cuisine! This week is our soft opening, which means no reservations required! Walk-ins are welcome while we figure out our flow of service! Please stop by! We’d love to see you!”
“We are OPEN for dinner! Sort of! @almedarestaurant is walk-ins and waitlist only this week! We’ll be working through the kinks of service and with the kitchen, so we ask for your grace and patience! Tonight will be a short menu of our offerings! Online presence and reservations to come next week!”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
