Thanks to Anna and Smita for sending:
“This property has been vacant for quite a while, so I’m very excited about this. Unclear if this is an extension of The Pursuit Wine Bar down the street or if this is something completely different.”
“New on H and 11 NE! Pursuit wine bar and kitchen. This previously had a Two Boots pizza banner on it, which never came to be.”
STAY TUNED.

Thanks for Brandon for sending the update:

“Dear PoPville,
I have a friend visiting from out of town, and we were hoping to go out to dinner somewhere where we can bring our own bottle of wine. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for restaurants in DC that are BYOB?”
