Thanks to Mark for sharing: “The old Satellite Room building attached to the 930 Club has been torn down :(
I guess there might still plans to build the “vintage” 9:30 Club on this spot? I had the impression they would simply renovate the space, not rebuild it from the ground up.”
and thanks to DCTitansFans for sharing: “Sadly, Republic in Takoma Park is closing in a couple of weeks.”
Last day of service will be September 4th: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I stopped by California Tortilla in Cleveland Park and learned that the employees were informed this morning that the restaurant is closing for good this Saturday, not in November as they had previously been told. A number of employees have been there 15+ years and the sudden closure is leaving them in the lurch as they weren’t planning to need new jobs this soon. Lots of stress about rent payments and caring for kids and needing to find jobs ASAP (understandably!)”
Thanks to David for sending a photo of the closing note: (more…)

From a press release:
“Josh and Kelly Phillips and the Destination Unknown Restaurants team opened Espita in 2016 as an ode to their love for Mezcal and Oaxacan cuisine. Since opening, Espita has been a leader in Mezcal’s growing popularity on the East Coast and a Mexican staple for Washingtonians. When the group opened Taqueria Las Gemelas and Destino in Union Market District’s La Cosecha in 2021, they realized that their new concepts encompassed everything they loved about Espita and then some. With this realization in mind and after months of trying to find the perfect spot for Ghostburger’s first standalone location, they decided that opening Ghostburger in the place it originally took off was a perfect full circle moment. Ghostburger will officially open on August 29th, 2022, and will be the first standalone location of the growing brand. (more…)
