From a press release:

Slice & Pie, named the second-best slice shop in the United States by prestigious Italian organization 50Top Pizza for the second consecutive year, is set to open its second location on Wednesday, September 17 in the food hall at Union Market. The new location will offer the complete menu from Slice & Pie’s flagship location on 14th Street, including whole pies and slices of Roman-born master pizzaiolo Giulio Adriani’s New York and Detroit-style pizzas. Earlier this month in Naples, Italy, Slice & Pie was named the 83rd best pizzeria in the world, and the new location will open alongside Taste of Lucy, an offshoot of Adriani’s cocktail bar and restaurant, Lucy. Both concepts will be separated by a wall spanning the 800 square foot space, with Slice & Pie featured on the left and Taste of Lucy on the right. Taste of Lucy will open in Union Market on Friday, September 19. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

I want to send some love to El Rinconcito 2 in Columbia Heights. They are a wonderful family business with delicious Salvadorean food, drinks, and a lovely patio.

So much for “temporarily closed”

Thanks to Nate for sending the final word: the 54 Noodles Bar space is now officially for lease. Yesterday we noted that things were not looking good. Today it’s official.

54 Noodles Bar only opened here in April 2024.

Stay tuned for updates when we learn who takes over the space.
