From Jerk at Night’s IG:
“For the past 6 months, more than ever, the neighborhood and competing businesses have taken photos of our lines saying we are a threat to public health, made false accusations regarding our legitimacy and submitted many emails to DCRA and DPW to have our trucks towed from #theJERKcorner we’ve built. .

DC USA just west of 14th and Irving Street, NW
Pre-pandemic this was massive news to many. I occasionally get queries asking for the status. I haven’t seen much recently except for this tweet by Michael Neibauer:
“Yum! Brands is accepting bids for the buildout of the Taco Bell Cantina at DCUSA. 1,406sf. Your Mountain Dew Freeze with tequila and Cheesy Gordita Crunch await.”
STAY TUNED.

Thanks to Charlie for sending:
“Saw the “For Lease” banners on the 2815 M ST., NW LPQ yesterday – I guess that means it’s closed for good!”
Back in late June we noted ‘Likely Local Le Pain Quotidien Closures Based on Bankruptcy Filing’. Anyone spot other LPQ closures around town?
“Dear PoPville,
Best bars/restaurants to watch sports but very outdoors? Hard to tell what’s what with all the closures, changes in indoor/outdoor seating. Like where is the good outdoor seating with good TV set ups for sports?”
