Honeygrow closing soon in Chinatown

By Prince Of Petworth


716 7th Street, NW

Update from Honeygrow:

“Yes, that location will close after Friday 11/16.”

Oh No, Et Tu Honeygrow? A reader reports:

“I am a frequent diner at Honeygrow in Chinatown. I went in for lunch over the weekend and the manager told me that they are closing on November 16th. Not sure for the reasoning, but I’m guessing this location was just not profitable enough. This is devastating given that we lost Shophouse not that long ago.”

Honeygrow opened up with great fanfare back in December 2016.

By Prince Of Petworth


1351 Connecticut Ave, NW

And the weather is perfect. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak and taste last night and it was as glorious as anticipated. My personal favorite besides the OG was Dubai’s Late Night Shawarma. Prepare for Call Your Mother like lines but it will be worth it. And for a good cause too. All the details below.

“Poutinerie by Air Canada is open to the public starting Friday, November 9th, through Thursday, November 15th.”

Hours are 12 p.m. – 10 p.m.

New Sausage and Beer Hall. Repeat. New Sausage and Beer Hall Coming this Month

By Prince Of Petworth


3401 Water Street, NW. “The Popal Group will replace Malmaison with sausage and beer hall The Berliner this November”

From a press release:

“This November, The Berliner (3401 Water Street NW), a new scratch-made wurst and beer garden opens near the Georgetown waterfront in the space formerly occupied by neighborhood mainstay Malmaison. The Berliner is the latest concept from D.C.-based The Popal Group, the family-run restaurant group behind Cafe Bonaparte, Lapis Bistro (a recent Bib Gourmand honoree), Lapop, and the former Napoleon Bistro.

Inspired by family ties and modern Berlin comfort food, the menu includes Bavarian classics such as bratwurst, schnitzel and homemade pretzels with beer cheese, in addition to modern fare such as doner kebabs and falafel. The Berliner will also feature 24 beers on tap with a variety of domestic, international and seasonal brews ranging from larger producers to to smaller German breweries rarely found on U.S. menus.

“Stanton and Greene is Currently Closed.”

By Prince Of Petworth

Whoa, spotted this sign at Stanton & Greene over the weekend. A couple of weeks ago Washington Business Journal reported:

“Stanton & Greene, the Capitol Hill cocktail bar that replaced the Pour House in 2015, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.”

Their phone number has been disconnected and their Facebook stops updating after October 25th, though their website remains live. Stay tuned.

Where is the best “fancy” lunch spot in D.C.?

By Prince Of Petworth


Fancy Radish at 600 H Street, NE. Fancy and delicious but unfortunately not open for lunch

“Dear PoPville,

Where is the best fancy lunch spot in D.C.? Fancy defined as a place you’d want to host a midday lunch event — good food, nice space, intimate vibes, and photogenic.

This Spring, my fiancé and I are getting married in a weekday, midday courthouse wedding in DC and we’re hoping to host family (about 10 people plus us) for lunch after. We were thinking something like Le Diplomate, but no luck on lunch there.

Any recommendations within a quick Uber ride from judiciary square?”
