1309 5th Street, NE via Rappahannock Oyster Bar
Update from Rappahannock Oyster Bar owner Travis Croxton via email:
“I just saw a story on PoPville from Sarah and wanted to clarify a couple things for Rappahannock Oyster Bar. Our last day is Saturday. The post states that “it doesn’t fit their business model anymore” – that’s out of context a little bit – it’s not our business model but rather is the only explanation the landlord gave to us (meaning “their business model”, not ours). They told us to vacate the premises and gave us two months notice, which puts us at the end of August. But we really want to get our great staff incorporated over to the Wharf and that’s why we may leave a little sooner.
The restaurant was doing great – this is by no means a financial decision whatsoever (and again, it was not our decision) – we had rebounded in an amazing way after the initial COVID onslaught and had better success than ever, so honestly the news hit us like a punch to the gut. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I walked by the old Anxo/new Uncaged Mimosas spot the other day, and it has added new “signage.” The door still says ANXO, so there is still much progress to be made. I haven’t heard any updates on opening in a while, so I figured I would pass along in the event others have heard any updates?”
“Dear PoPville,
Does the community know where I can get morning glory? It’s a Thai dish with the leafy vegetable cooked in oyster sauce and garlic. Very popular in Southeast Asia but seems to be unavailable in The DC area.”
