“YUME Hospitality Group, the team behind Arlington’s acclaimed YUME Sushi, will expand its footprint into D.C. with KYOJIN by YUME, an innovative sushi concept coming to Georgetown’s iconic Cady’s Alley at 3315 Cady’s Alley NW Suite B in early 2023. KYOJIN will feature a broader menu of executive chef and co-owner Chef Saran “Peter” Kannasute’s boundary-pushing sushi and omakase, which has gained a devoted following at YUME, along with spirit-driven cocktails and an extensive sake list.

“Bart Hutchins, executive chef of soon-to-open Le Mont Royal, is taking over the Navy Yard kitchen of Brent Kroll’s hit wine spot, Maxwell Park, beginning Friday, October 7 through Friday, October 14. The pop-up will focus on dishes inspired by a thread Hutchins plans to pull at Le Mont Royal when the “French-Canadian Disco” opens in Adams Morgan this fall: guilty pleasures remade using French techniques. His menu will be available nightly from 5-10 PM during the week-long takeover. (more…)
1200 19th Street, NW
From a press release:
“Chef Peter Chang and his daughter Lydia Chang announce an October 8 debut for Chang Chang, their dual concept contemporary Chinese restaurant in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of downtown Washington, D.C. The two-in-one concept at 1200 19th St. NW features parallel dine-in and carryout services, which function as fully separate entities, with little to no menu overlap between them. Though Chang Chang isn’t the first time Peter Chang and Lydia Chang have collaborated, the two Changs in the name nod to the fact that this restaurant is a much more even partnership, as the elder Chang looks to the next generation to expand his vision of contemporary Chinese dining. Chang Chang’s carryout branch, labeled Chang Out, will be the first part of the restaurant to open, with Chang In, the full-service dining room, opening its doors ten days later on October 20.

“Dear PoPville,
I’m celebrating my 30th birthday in a few months and am interested in reserving a private or semi-private dining room to celebrate. I’ve never looked into anything like this so I have no idea where to start. Are there any places you’d recommend reaching out to for a group of about 10? (more…)
2905 Sherman Ave, NW
Thanks to Amanda for sending the update at the old Bun DC space: “I saw the word “Pinsa” painted on the wall so I looked it up and sure enough they have a website already! It looks great and will hopefully be a worthy addition to the neighborhood. It looks like Pinsa Place is being opened by the owner of the now closed Matt’s House of Kabob out of Rockville.”
Pinsa’s website says:
“There is no doubt that you can find pizza on every block and avenue in DC. That’s why we take a fresh approach, and offer you a NEW experience bringing Pinsa to Columbia Heights. (more…)
