Hey can we revisit Top Spanish Cuisine in Park View? They appear to be open regular hours again w/ a happy hour as well. [“Top Spanish offers Spanish Food and Tapas, full bar. Daily Happy hour starting at 4:00 pm”] Went the other night because I’ve seen the lights on recently and it was great food, and the Mexican food is gone. It was tragically empty, though.”

Thanks to Stacey for sending this update on the American City Diner space from Washingtonian Magazine:

“Local entrepreneur and restaurateur Steve Salis is taking over the space.”

Co-founder of &pizza, Salis is an owner/partner in Federalist Pig, Kramerbooks & Afterwords Cafe and recently acquired Ted’s Bulletin. Personally I think a Ted’s Bulletin would do very well in this space. Stay tuned to see what’s coming.

PoP Preview: Capitol Cider House – Opening Soon in Petworth!!

By Prince Of Petworth


3930 Georgia Ave, NW at Shepherd

Capitol Cider House is nearly here! From their website:

“At Capitol Cider House, we do cider right. No added chemicals or preservatives. Only showcasing producers within 200 miles of the Capitol building. Always gluten free. Not too sweet. More like a fine wine than a popsicle.

All our goods are sourced from within 200 miles of the US Capitol Building. We have a few of our own concoctions and many ciders from Mid-Atlantic producers that are otherwise hard to find in DC. Our menu is always changing, but we’re always keeping it local.

We invite you to visit our brand new production space and tasting room at 3930 Georgia Avenue. Chill out on our patio, play a round of shuffleboard and enjoy a snack while sampling a flight of regional ciders. Kids are welcome, and friendly dogs can hang out in our outside space.”

They should be open in the next week or so but I’ll be updating when I get an exact opening date. A few other things before checking out all the photos of the amazing space. A big patio is coming. There will be food – starting with Empanadas and Rotis (and hot dogs for the kids) from food trucks. There will be 10 ciders on tap, 1 mead, 1 beer plus cans, bottles, wine and some cocktails. Now check out the amazing space:

Many more photos after the jump. (more…)
