Have the Bells Tolled in Bloomingdale for CRISP Kitchen + Bar?

1837 1st Street, NW

UPDATE: An Italian Bar to be called Hopscotch is coming.

“Dear PoPville,

Getting ready to move to Bloomingdale and was excited to be close to Crisp as I enjoyed my meal there last time I went but looks like they may have shut down for good? According to their last twitter post in March they closed for renovations for what was supposed to be 4 days but now their website’s down. Any word?”

On March 8th they wrote:

“We will be closing Crisp Bar and Kitchen this weekend to renovate and clean the kitchen. We will reopen next Tuesday the 12th at normal operating hours. We apologize for any inconvenience, and hope to see you all soon!”

Anyone know if they are down for the count?
