From a press release:
“Chef Peter Prime and co-owner Jeanine Prime announce the opening of St. James, a modern Caribbean restaurant, at 2017 14th Street, NW. The 2550 square foot dining room will feature dishes celebrating the diversity of Caribbean cuisine, along with creative cocktails and a thoughtful wine and beer list. With plans for brunch and dinner service, St. James will also have a patio with 12 seats and accommodations for some standing space. Opening is planned for late summer 2021.
Named after a district in Trinidad’s capital, Port of Spain, St. James is a cultural center of the island representing a confluence of the country’s many influences from East Indian and Chinese descendants as well as food traditions of Black Trinidadians. While the menu at sister restaurant Cane, pays special tribute to Trinidad’s East Indian food traditions, St. James’ offerings will be more Pan-Caribbean, reflective of the region’s melting pot of cultures with elevated and creative menu items representing a cuisine that is often undervalued.
“After one of the most challenging years in the restaurant industry, we couldn’t be more proud to open St. James,” said co-owners Peter and Jeanine Prime. “Complex in its technique and preparation, Caribbean food is rich in its diversity thanks to our storied past,” they continued. “Our cuisine is humble in its roots and St. James will take creative license to play with these familiar dishes celebrating our region’s history with a modern twist.”
The brother and sister duo are grateful for the local community’s embrace of Cane, both from the Caribbean diaspora and beyond. They plan to support local, independent talent and entrepreneurs with the opening of St. James, including pop-ups with up-and-coming chefs, hospitality professionals, artists, and more. Final food and beverage menus, design details and operating hours will be available closer to opening.”

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!
