First Brasserie Beck and now Marcel’s. Thanks to CJ for passing on the sad news:
“We regret to share with you that Marcel’s will be closing on May 12th. Since its opening in March 1999, Marcel’s has been a cornerstone of Washington, DC’s fine dining community for 25 extraordinary years.
Despite our best efforts, Marcel’s was unable to reach lease terms with the new building owner and will not be renewing its lease.
Marcel’s is the flagship of the RW Restaurant Group, which has opened over 10 brands with three locations still open in Maryland and Virginia and soon to be four when Mussel Bar & Grille in Bethesda opens next month.
We owe a debt of gratitude to our dedicated staff, past and present, whose talent and hard work have contributed to Marcel’s success over the years. Their unwavering commitment has been the driving force behind Marcel’s dedication to its cuisine and service.
To our guests, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your loyal patronage and support. Your continued presence has enriched Marcel’s journey and made every dining experience truly special.
As Marcel’s prepares to come to an end, we invite you to join us in celebrating the memories and milestones that have defined our establishment. While Marcel’s may be closing its doors, the spirit of culinary innovation and hospitality will live on. Thank you for being a part of Marcel’s story and for your unwavering support throughout the years.
-Chef Wiedmaier”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
