1401 R St, NW

Thanks to a reader for sending the photo above of the coming soon sign for Bar di Bari. Back in Oct. 2012 we first plans of a new cafe coming to the corner of 14th and R St, NW in the new PN Hoffman building (Northern Exchange.) At that time a liquor license application stated it would be a:

“New European-style restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Inside seating capacity of 32, total Occupancy Load of 97, and Sidewalk Café with 52 seats.”

Interesting to hear there will be a wine bar element as well. Updates as they get closer to opening.

2029 P Street, NW

Back in late Aug. 2012 we learned that Tasti D Lite had closed at 2029 P St, NW in Dupont. Get ready for Counter Culture LLC. Sadly they are not affiliated with counter culture coffee. Looks like Counter Culture LLC deals in wholesale kitchen cabinets. Not sure if that’s the same group but I’ll update whenever the new folks open. Also, still no word on a future tenant for the Columbia Heights Tasti D Lite space.

Harrar Coffee and Roastery recently opened at 2904 Georgia Ave, NW. I’m hoping it’s because of the holidays but it’s been dead empty the last couple times I stopped in. It reminds me a lot of Columbia Heights Coffee on 11th Street, which is to say it is awesome. If you live nearby you should def. check them out.

Scuttlebutt: Busboys and Poets Coming to Takoma?

A reader hears some scuttlebutt that a Busboys and Poets could be coming to the new Takoma Central project at 235 Carroll Street, NW. I’ve also heard some scuttlebutt that they are interested in that space. If it is accurate – do you think Busboys and Poets would make a nice compliment to the already announced La Mano Coffee Bar coming to 304 Carroll St, NW?
