From La Jambe:
“We have made the very difficult decision to put on pause our Shaw location and do like lots of other restaurants, hibernating for a few months.
We have made it this far thanks to your continuous support but unfortunately between the higher risk of infection, the colder weather, and new restrictions in place, it is becoming almost impossible for us to stay open at this point.

From a press release:
“Chef Alfredo Solis has transformed his critically acclaimed restaurant, Anafre, into a pizzeria serving up Mexican-inspired pizzas.
Like many restaurants in DC right now, Anafre must adapt to stay afloat. The Mexican street food at Solis’ other restaurants, Mezcalero and El Sol, has proven to be a comfort to residents in times of uncertainty, but the seafood-heavy menu at Anafre doesn’t work as well for pandemic times. (more…)
