By Prince Of Petworth


2427 18th Street, NW

From a press release:

“It has been three months since The Black Squirrel served its last beers in Adams Morgan. In that time, the space at 2427 18th Street NW transformed into Seasons & Sessions, with a brand-new dining area, reimagined bar/performance space, and a new third floor arcade. As we begin this new era in Adams Morgan, we welcome back some old favorites, familiar faces, as well as some fresh events for our new space.

Our Grand Reopening will be this Thursday, November 29th. We will feature free play in our arcade on the third floor, $1 off all beer and cocktails, $4 wine, and bartender’s choice combo specials. Of course, the kitchen will prepare a special treat, free of charge, for everyone coming out to celebrate the birth of our new restaurant. (more…)

Albi, “offering contemporary Levantine cuisine”, and another Maxwell Park Wine Bar coming to Navy Yard

By Prince Of Petworth

Navy Yard is simply drowning in goodness.

From a press release:

“Chef Michael Lee Rafidi, one of Washington, D.C.’s most promising young culinary talents, will open his first solo restaurant in summer 2019 in the city’s burgeoning Navy Yard neighborhood. Albi, Arabic for “my heart,” will offer a fresh expression of Modern American cooking inspired by Rafidi’s Middle Eastern heritage and informed by Mid-Atlantic ingredients. Located on the corner of 4th and Tingey Streets in Southeast D.C.’s The Yards development, the 4,800-square-foot space also encompasses a second location of Maxwell Park, Brent Kroll’s adventurous wine bar run in partnership with top sommeliers Niki Lang and Daniel Runnerstrom. Together, Rafidi and Kroll will bring to D.C. a dual-concept experience that celebrates regional farms, world-class wines and the diversity of Levantine food and culture.

“My grandfather was a chef in D.C. for decades and honored his Palestinian ancestry through his food. Those early memories I have with him in his kitchen helped shape who I am as a chef,” Rafidi said. “When I decided to open my own restaurant, it seemed natural to return to my roots and cook the food I grew up eating, but from the perspective of where my travels, training and inspiration have taken me through my career.”
