From the office of Councilmember Charles Allen:
“DC Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward 6) introduced emergency legislation to make immediate changes to the cost and design restrictions for DDOT’s streateries rules, with the goal of ensuring streateries remain a viable tool for restaurants and an opportunity to enliven street life. The Council will vote on the legislation on Tuesday, Dec. 2. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
We had reservations last night for 8pm at Founding Farmers DC. When we got there, they told us it would be at least 9pm before they could seat us for our 8pm reservation. Meanwhile, our choice for waiting was either shoulder-to-shoulder standing room in the bar or entrance area or wait outside in the cold. I didn’t like either option and left.
My friend said he expected that. I think they might have overbooked. Did they think they were going to be able to seat people outside under their sidewalk heaters? Is this normal? It was my first year not cooking in a long time, so I don’t know. Either way, it was a disappointment.”
