By Prince Of Petworth


438 Massachusetts Ave, NW

Scuttlebutt confirmed. I hear the new joint should open in 2-3 months. Standby for an exact opening date.

From a press release:

“After seven years with Sixth Engine in DC’s Mt. Vernon Triangle neighborhood, the partners of Long Shot Hospitality [Long Shot] are selling the business [excluding the name] to the team behind The Pub and the People.

The space, which dates from 1855, and served as the oldest firehouse in the District until it was decommissioned in 1974, found new life with Long Shot. Since its restoration and renovation in 2011, it has been a vibrant dining and bar location, beloved for local craft brews, handcrafted cocktails, and imaginative American fare. (more…)

55 M Street, NE

Yesterday we learned about Union Kitchen Grocery’s opening date in Shaw and now we got some action in NoMa – Streets Market soft opens today. And it is huge. I went to a preview party for the residents of the building above the store on Wednesday night and it’s pretty dope.

In addition to a huge grocery store (more photos below) there is a also a huge bar with tvs and 2nd floor seating.

“Is it going to be a nightclub?”

1541 7th Street, NW

Ed. Note: Back in March 2016 this space was slated to become Yard & Toast. A commenter noted: “I saw a pop up NYE event there under the name “Play Lounge”

Update from MPD:

“MPD was advised that ABRA issued a 4 day temporary license to operate at 1541 7th Street NW from 12-31-18 to 01-3-19 (for the hours of 6pm to 4am).

As for the loud explosion (Ed. Note: see comments), we have received 1 call to 911 last night regarding this. Since then, members of the community have forwarded us some videos of the incident and it appears to have likely been an M80 firework. However, at this time, we are unable to identify any individuals in any of the videos. If anyone has any additional videos of value, please send them to the 3D Commander at [email protected].”

Thanks to Rachel and Debra for sending:

“any idea who/what has moved into the space between Tobacco Vape & Passenger?? They launched for New Years tonight with big ol’ bouncers, an overwhelmed valet service (traffic on 7th was a mess), and lines of ladies and gents outfitted in glittery getups. Would love to know who my new neighbors are and if the untz untz action was just for tonight or if a club has officially moved next door and I need to find a new lease…anyone with the scoop?” (more…)
