ANXO Announces “first cider created by our Cider Maker Gregory Johnson at ANXO’s Kennedy Street location”

By Prince Of Petworth

From ANXO:

“We are so excited to announce the release of our first cider created by our Cider Maker Gregory Johnson at ANXO’s Kennedy Street location, dubbed “Cidre Blanc.”

Made from 100% Goldrush apples, this tasty cider offers a bright acidity with notes of juicy peach, apricot and lemon, balanced by subtle tannins. We’ve put our heart and soul into this, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you.

Joining Cidre Blanc for the release party celebrations are five additional special blends, made primarily from foraged apples pressed by ANXO staff in 2016.


711 Kennedy Street, NW

Release party events will be going down at all three locations this weekend, featuring exciting food and drink specials. We hope you’ll come help us celebrate! (more…)

“I’m curious how a restaurant like this can become so “cold” when most places around it are packed?”

By Prince Of Petworth


3716 Georgia Ave, NW

“Dear PoPville,

How come some restaurants become “hot” and other seemed doomed to fail? Specifically, my partner and I went to Sala Thai (aka “Pantry”) in Petworth tonight. The decor has been considerably improved, and the food was tasty. And, other than us, there wasn’t a soul in the place. Now, I won’t get into a debate about the best Thai food in the city, but our meal was at least as good as other places that are generally packed (eg. Beau Thai). So maybe this is partly a plea for neighbors to visit Sala Thai so we don’t lose the one restaurant on that block. But more generally, I’m curious how a restaurant like this can become so “cold” when most places around it are packed…?”

What’s Up With Wawa? Major Construction Starts on 19th Street

1111 19th Street, NW

Jason reports:

“It looks like Wawa-related construction (Near 19th and L) has started with Pepco workers doing utility work in front of the future store location. Permit notices are on the window, too. Looks like a potential mid to late fall opening?”

Back in June we learned the 19th Street store would be the first Wawa to open in D.C. in “December 2017”. You can see some renderings here. Stay Tuned.
