Restaurants
Ed. Note: Let’s take this opportunity to remember one the most, well, uh, memorable, posts about a yelp review “we can prove that Emma. C from Yelp is not the girl that pooped at their restaurant”
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and Yelp co-founder and CEO Jeremy Stoppelman announced that the global technology company has signed a lease for a new office in Washington, DC. The expansion will bring 500 new jobs to the District over a five-year period with at least half of the positions targeted for DC residents. (more…)
3060 M Street, NW
From an email:
“We are very excited to share that LADURÉE Georgetown has just announced their official participation in Restaurant Week this summer. For the first time in Ladurée’s illustrious history, diners from near and far can enjoy a decadent 3-course lunch menu for just $22, as well as a 3-course brunch menu for $22.
LUNCH: Three-Course Prix Fixe Menu
3419 Connecticut Ave, NW
From the Cleveland Park Listserv:
“I just wanted to let folks know that Mr. Chen’s Organic Chinese Food will be coming to the Nam-Viet space. They do not yet have an opening date, but I’m looking forward to welcoming a new business to our community!”
Ed. Note: I asked the ANC Rep, Beau Finley, if they were closing their Woodley Park location and he said that was unclear at this time. Will update as more is known.
You can see their Woodley Park menu here.
current home at 2604 Connecticut Ave, NW
Great shot by Chris Chen (@furcafe) of the new Popeyes.
20th and Pennsylvania Ave, NW
And more good outdoor dining news from their liquor license:
“New Restaurant serving Indian food. Total Occupancy Load of 142. Sidewalk Café with 60 seats.”
More info and menu from the original Bindaas here.
14th and Rhode Island Ave, NW
It is massive. Nice.
809 Upshur Street, NW
Well this awesome!! If you told me in 2003…I’d have believed you!! Oh yeah. Check out the good word from Bon Appetit. Much love to my friends at Timber Pizza Co.:
“GO HERE: for blistered, bubbly, farmers’-market-produce-laden pizzas fresh from the ripping hot wood-burning oven. What began as a roving food truck is now a fixture of D.C.’s Petworth scene, with Argentine chef Daniela Moreira at the helm.”
828 Upshur Street, NW
And an equal Mazel to the fine folks at Himitsu:
“GO HERE: for an imaginative Japanese-inspired meal that isn’t preoccupied with tradition. Yes, there’s a solid selection of nigiri and sashimi for those who want to play it safe, but we recommend heading for more unfamiliar territory–like uni paired with Alabama white sauce.” (more…)
1140 19th Street, NW
This is the former Noodles and Co. space. Thanks to a reader for passing on word from 5 Guys:
“Five Guys to open on 19th Street, NW with a projected opening date of August 14.”
Looks like it:
OK so maybe that little hotel will also contribute to this new era. Dan sends from the “42 bus as it was rushing by.”
Ed. Note: The dedication demonstrated by PoPville contributors knows no equal. And I am forever grateful.
This is the former Pollo Granjero space that closed back in August 2016.
1742 Columbia Road, NW
