Whoa, we’ve been wondering about the retail here for a long time. This sounds like a potentially worthy heir to Goins. Thanks to ANC Rep Jonah Goodman for sending word that Capitol Cider House came to an ANC meeting Wednesday night “to announce the cidery.”
STAY TUNED.

Dribble, dribble – water cannon:
“Chef Ryan Ratino is proud to announce the opening of his first restaurant in Washington, D.C., Bresca, a concept born out of his passion for the bounties of earth and years of studying European cooking techniques.
Bresca is inspired by the European movement of “bistronomy”, (a combination of the words Bistro and Gastronomy). The trend is characterized by a more vibrant, experimental and informal approach to cooking than traditional French cuisine. It is a simple style with the focus being the food, its bold flavors and the feelings that these combinations evoke.
An Ohio native, Chef Ratino has cooked in some of the most lauded restaurants in the country. (more…)
10th and Franklin St, NE
