“Dear PoPville,

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.

“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 mezzanine will become the Riff Raff Room, an intimate speakeasy-style cocktail lounge featuring Schotts’ award-winning cocktails and elevated tapas.
• 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…)

Thanks to Theresa for sending the latest look at the renovated Wendy’s, one day, coming back to Petworth.
Much better than when we last checked in earlier this month.
Could that mean… STAY TUNED.

“This is so disappointing! All the food was so good when it opened. Though this is not surprising. It was never crowded, and most places in there left over the past several months.”
Thanks to all who passed on word about The Heights Food Hall Closing: (more…)
