Earlier in the week we reported that a We the People Express (pizza) was coming to the former Toku Sushi space on U Street. Turns out the liquor license placard was in error. Also turns out this was a glorious mistake because I learned who actually is taking over the space – London Curry House!!

“menu, decor completely different then Bombay street food . Open until midnight. Theme is London with all London landmarks as decor with spice and flavors of best curries dishes from London.”

Ed. Note: Last night The Chocolate House (1904 18th St, NW) wrote us:

“our store was just robbed twice in one week by the same guy while we were in the store. He verbally and physically threatened us. @DCPoliceDept saying they can’t put a car on our street? We’re not the only business who has recently been robbed.”

Sadly looks like we may be on our way to returning to the roll down gate days of the 80s…
