Thanks to Shawn for sending the photo above and asking for an update on the Due South that was coming to Chevy Chase in the former Organic Wine spot. Well I finally got the scoop on what’s going on. I spoke with owner Bo Blair yesterday who tells me that Due South has been scrapped but since they were able to get this larger space a whole new restaurant has been planned and it will be called Wheelhouse!!

While the menu will be different, Blair tells me “Wheelhouse will bring to Chevy Chase what Millie’s did for Spring Valley.” (more…)

EXCLUSIVE: Jersey Mike’s Subs FIFTH DC location is opening across from the Zoo “early October”, a SIXTH location is coming to Capitol Hill next year!

Dan Silverman, occasionally fallible, always well-meaning…

AGAIN, mea culpa for my earlier morning mistake about how many Jersey Mike’s locations there are in DC so I am seeking REDEMPTION with this post.

The good people from Jersey Mike’s tell me that their 5th DC location coming across the street from the zoo (3000 Connecticut Ave, NW) will be opening “early October” and there is already a 6th location in the works for Capitol Hill coming to 209 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE and will open in “early 2026.”

Stay tuned for exact opening dates.

“Could we crowd source the best restaurant week deals?”

The always excellent Sushi Taro is, of course, located at 1503 17th Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Could we crowd source the best restaurant week deals? Just had lunch at Bistro Liberte in Georgetown which was great value, 3 courses, including some of the $25+ mains, all for $25. Really yummy cucumber gazpacho as a first course.”

Restaurant week was extended – where should folks hit these last few days?!?

UPDATE from Johnny Pistolas PR:

“The main floor will be rebranded as Mi Pana, bringing a fresh new dining and nightlife concept to Adams Morgan.

• The second floor will remain Johnny Pistolas, continuing to serve its LA-inspired taqueria-style food, tequila bar, and nightlife atmosphere.

• The top floor will stay a dedicated party and event space, preserving Johnny Pistolas’ long-standing reputation for nightlife and private events in Adams Morgan.

• On September 19th, we’ll launch the new concept with live entertainment, a champagne toast, and a performance by Mi Pana.” (more…)
