“The COVID Roller Coaster Continues…
For the past nine months, our goal has been to hang on until next spring. The return of conferences, sports and tourists, along with promising news on vaccines, gave us hope.
But like so many other DC restaurants, we’re a bit worried. Recent spikes have impacted on-premise dining; cold weather is hampering outdoor dining; some of our local customers have temporarily relocated; or in some cases, just aren’t aware that we’re open.
We are lucky, we have very understanding landlords, they want to see us hang on…and that makes us want to keep going. For them, for our customers, for our staff and for us…we’ve given all we’ve had.

From Ivy and Coney:
“Ivy and Coney Pauses In-House Dining, Continues Pickup and Delivery
Ivy and Coney, DC’s home for tube meat sandwiches and baseball, will be pausing in-house dining for the foreseeable future. We will be serving up dogs and pouring Malort on the deck through this Sunday, December 6th. While the deck is closed, pickup and delivery through DC To-GoGo will continue Thursday to Sunday. So don’t worry, you’ll still be able to get your hot dog and Detroit pizza fix. On top of that, we hope to get a fun market for people to shop online for a variety of local products up and running in time for the holidays (stay tuned!)
No matter what happens, we want to assure folks that Ivy and Coney is not going anywhere. (more…)

“The three-week era of Wine Bar B has concluded as this establishment reverts to the original name it jettisoned over the summer as culturally insensitive. Mystified by the thought process here.”
From Barkada:
“We started off on the wrong foot, so we spent time re-thinking our brand and what we stand for. The concept for our small business was always rooted in friendship, which like any valued relationship must be evaluated, recommitted, and earned. In our process of listening to our community and learning from friends, old and new, we began collaborating with a Filipina-owned social media/marketing company and sought out partnerships with brands that we are proud to carry. Many of them are BIPOC, LGBTQ, and female-owned that support immigrants and indigenous communities. (more…)
