Shira reports:
“The Jamba Juice at Dupont Circle is closed with paper on the windows. You can see the remnants of the old Ben and Jerry’s peaking out from behind!
Also, Barry’s Bootcamp is right next door, and apparently they have a juice bar inside. Who knew? One of the trainers told me that the Jamba Juice is going to be a poke place.”
STAY TUNED.

“Mason Dixie is, indeed, coming to Shaw!”
Back in March we learned that Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. was closing on Bladensburg Road and moving to a new location. The old Fishnet/Drift space it is!

More big, sad scuttlebutt – a tipster hears El Camino’s closing party is September 15. And those in the know say this is very likely happening.
“El Camino offers California-inspired Mexican food and drinks in Bloomingdale!” and opened up back in October 2014.
Confirmed:
“We are sad to announce that we have decided to close El Camino after dinner service on Saturday, September 15. (more…)

Color me intrigued!! Thanks to Sandi for sending:
“It looks like Toscana Cafe on F & 2nd NE is becoming “Duet” Indian and Italian Flavors… def not a combo I’ve seen before. The food at Toscana wasn’t the best but they did have good lunch and HH specials. Should be interesting to check out this new place when it opens.”
3115 14th Street, NW at Kenyon
Thanks to Brian, Aman, Jess and all who messaged about the change coming to The Heights. Jess notes:
“The identity crisis of the Heights continues! First the destruction of the bar and the self serve beer, then the salad bar and pizza signs, then the corn dog appetizers, and now this… At this point it’s just funny.”
Ed. Note: Choong Man Chicken (& Seafood) opened up on H Street, NE in Spring 2017. Anyone know if it’s the same folks?
