By Prince Of Petworth


3500 block of Connecticut Ave, NW. I’m not sure exactly where they are thinking of coming but there are a number of spaces for lease near metro

Things are continuing to come up aces in Cleveland Park. First Captain Cookie soft opened (grand opening Saturday), Thai Love is getting close to opening and the Little Black Bird wine bar opens today. Now, I’m hearing that a Fresh Baguette is going to come to Cleveland Park somewhere near the metro.

Update: ANC rep Tammy Gordon says “it’s going in next to the OrangeTheory!”

STAY TUNED.
