From a press release:
“The team behind Duke’s Grocery is expanding its reach in Washington, DC, opening the next edition of its East London-inspired gastropub in Navy Yard. The newest project will be the fourth Duke’s location and the most bar-forward concept so far. In addition to Duke’s, Duo Group LLC is also behind Gogi Yogi Korean BBQ in Shaw, and the soon-to-open Chesapeake Crab Shack & Bar on U Street. Duke’s Grocery Navy Yard will be located at 1201 Half Street, SE, just steps away from Nationals Park and the Navy Yard Metro Station, and is slated to open in Fall 2022. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you could ask Popville readers for suggestions for a Thai restaurant that makes vegan curries (specifically green curry). For the past ten years I have been eating at the same Thai restaurant in DC thinking that the vegan green curry they made was actually vegan and found out that there is shrimp paste in the curry. Has anyone found a Thai restaurant that can make curry without shrimp paste? It is my favorite meal and really desperate for a replacement go-to Thai spot.”
Another reader asked more generally: “My go to thai spot on h street closed. Any recommendations for Thai in SE?”
