“Thursday, August 25th will be the last day at our Chinatown shop.
Our restaurants were positioned at ground zero of the pandemic, serving downtown office workers, and our business evaporated overnight. We’ve pivoted a million and one times to keep up with the changing landscape. (more…)

502 H Street, NE
From a press release:
“Irregardless, a wine bistro from hospitality professionals, Ian and Mika Carlin, will open at 502 H Street, NE in late Summer 2022. The two-story, 1600 square foot restaurant will feature a six-course seasonal tasting menu from Chef Ben Browning, who will highlight Mid-Atlantic produce and producers. Tasting menus are offered alongside two optional beverage pairings, one of which will exclusively focus on Virginia wine and spirits.
The restaurant’s Modern American tasting menu, overseen by Chef Browning, will draw inspiration from the bounty of the Mid-Atlantic region, with a strong focus on local and sustainable ingredients. Browning, who sharpened his cooking skills in many respected D.C. kitchens, including Daikaya, Maydan, Obelisk, Reveler’s Hour, and most recently Mintwood Place, will cook simple and thoughtfully composed dishes, offering both omnivore and vegetarian tasting menu options. Having spent part of his childhood in Paris, he is drawn to both French and Japanese cooking techniques, which will influence the food at Irregardless. Guests can look forward to house-made pastas, well-made breads and simple yet exciting dishes with multiple layers that respect quality ingredients. A concise a la carte menu will also be offered at the 12-seat bar. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
What are the best restaurants close to Union Station?”
Looks like Red Apron has closed up shop in Union Market. It’s still listed on their website but if you try to order it says “Online Ordering Unavailable”, not to mention the photo above. While there is still a location at The Roost in Hill East, the Penn Quarter location has been “temporarily” closed since September 2020.
As for Union Market, this would be another serious blow after the recent closure of Rappahannock Oyster Bar. Currently a very sad sight: (more…)
