Sandwich Monday cont. with Jersey Mike’s coming to L Street

By Prince Of Petworth


1901 L Street, NW

Thanks to Amy for sending:

“After a years long vacancy, something is finally opening at 1901 L Street Northwest – a Jersey Mike’s good morning thanks you too. Not sure when it’s going to open, but the signage is already up.

You can see their menus here.

Stay tuned for an opening date.
