From Nando’s:

“About 10 years ago, we opened our second restaurant in the U.S., in a stately and historic building off Dupont Circle. [Ed. Note: Remember when this was a hardware store?!?] Now the time has come for us to give it some love!

From September 3rd to September 12th, Nando’s Dupont location (1210 18th Street, NW) will be closed, so we can make some important repairs as part of a two-stage renovation.

The good news: (more…)



9th and Q Street, NW

Back in May we we posted some scuttlebutt about a new Japanese restaurant coming to 9th Street from the owners of Chaplin’s.  Chaplin’s is located down the street at 9th and P Street, NW and opened back in 2014. Some more details are now available for a liquor license application under the name Zeppelin:

A restaurant that will serve Japanese-themed sushi. The licensee is requesting a Sidewalk Café with seating for 60 patrons. They are also requesting an Entertainment Endorsement to provide live entertainment indoors only. Interior seating for 99, with a Total Occupancy Load of 122.

STAY TUNED.



4203 Georgia Avenue, NW

I’ve always wondered how this space could still be vacant at such a prime corner. Think a cigar bar will do well here?

The liquor license placard says:

“New Class “C” Tavern that will serve as a cigar retailer serving spirits, wine, and beer in addition to tobacco products and other cigar-related products. The Tavern will have 100 seats inside, and a Total Occupancy Load of 100, and also a Summer Garden with 10 seats. Licensee is requesting an indoors-only Entertainment Endorsement to provide Live Entertainment.”


Georgia and Upshur Street, NW

STAY TUNED.
