Thanks to Leah for sending:

“Eat Chicken Place at Georgia & Quincy reopened early this year after a renovation which offers more dine-in seating and a modest facelift! The food is great, particularly at the price point, and the owner/operators are so incredibly sweet. I’m just glad they’re doing well and hope to send more business their way!”

From the Neighborhood Restaurant Group:

Whoa thanks to a reader for passing on this info from the ANC 6E October Agenda email:

As many of you know, we will be welcoming a new high-end modern Mexican restaurant to the Mt. Vernon Triangle next Spring, which will be led by two internationally-rated chefs who will bring world class experience and outstanding Mexican cuisine to our neighborhood. The restaurant will also have a tequila lounge in the basement where patrons may sample a variety of tequila and mezcal.

The owners are moving quickly to open by Spring of 2020, and have provided me with the attached concept renderings for the dining room and tequila lounge. This will be a great addition to our thriving community!

From a press release:

“La Famosa, a tribute to the vibrant, flavorful cuisine of Puerto Rico, will open in the Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington, DC. The all-day, “fine-casual” restaurant will serve lunch and dinner alongside an extensive coffee program and full bar. The brainchild of Chef Joancarlo Parkhurst, La Famosa is a nod to the Caribbean island where he was born.
