Ed. Note: You can learn more about Valley Brook Tea (and support them) here and at their shop in Dupont pictured above.

Thanks to all who passed on the incredibly disturbing report from Valley Brook Tea:

“I don’t know what to say anymore. This type of hate crime happened to us again. This morning(9:42), this person charged into our store shouting “Chinese” and “Covid-19”, then attacked me with pepper spray. If you recognize him, please contact us or call 911.

I got sprayed on my face, arm, cloth. Some got into my mouth. I was choking badly when I called 911. I’m not injured. However the burning has not stopped after hours.

It seems we’re the only business that keeps getting harassed and attacked in this neiborghood. We cannot stay in business if this happens on a weekly/monthly basis. Please help us identify this individual. Thank you.”

By Prince Of Petworth

Check out the 2020 DMV Black Restaurant Week Participating Food Businesses here.

From the Mayor’s Office:

“This week, the Bowser Administration will celebrate DMV Black Restaurant Week with the co-founders of DMV Black Restaurant Week (Furard Tate, Dr. Erinn Rucker, and Andra “AJ” Johnson). Mayor Muriel Bowser proclaimed November 8-15 as DMV Black Restaurant Week in Washington, DC, encouraging the community to support restaurants and foodservice providers. The Bowser Administration will highlight how Black-owned restaurants and foodservice providers supported the community by providing meals to seniors and first responders during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

“Black-owned restaurants and foodservice providers have been disproportionally affected by the onset COVID-19, and DMV Black Restaurant Week is a great opportunity for DC residents and visitors to support these businesses safely by ordering ‘to-go’ and dine-in,” said Shawn Townsend, Director of the Mayor’s Office of Nightlife and Culture.

DMV Black Restaurant Week’s mission is to support and sustain Black-owned businesses in the restaurant, foodservice, and hospitality industry through professional development and continuing education. (more…)

From Stable (1324 H Street, NE):

“DC’s only authentic Swiss restaurant, Stable, will welcome guests back to their H Street home on November 12 for the first time since mid-March with a transformed dining room that will transport guests to wintertime in Switzerland.

Guests opting to dine in chalets will be seated in the back room of the restaurant. The front will remain the base of Stable’s carry out operation and to-go market featuring bread and pastries baked fresh daily as well as Swiss wine, beer and specialty cocktails. A window perch opening on to H Street will also accommodate one party and, for the first time, Stable will add outdoor dining on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant as well as that of their neighbor, Atlas Vet.
