Last month we noted that Takoda’s massive (Year Round) Roof Deck Beer Garden was nearing opening on Florida Ave. I guess when the “canopy system” is deployed – it’s basically just another floor:

An update on one of the more interesting combos coming to town from JACO Juice and Taco Bar:
“Hey everyone! It looks like we’ll finally be able to open our doors for business this week! Keep your eyes on this page for the official announcement & in the meantime here’s some pictures:”

Yes! The liquor license application of The Bird says (naturally):
“Restaurant specializing in poultry dishes with seating for 99 and a Total Occupancy Load of 125 inside premises. Request made for a Sidewalk Café with 65 seats and a Summer Garden with 35 seats.”
11th and O St, NW
Updates when they get closer to opening. I love this name but of course it does plant this classic straight in my head too – so sorry about that:
2309 18th Street, NW
The former Pi Pizzeria and Bottoms Up Bar space finally has a new occupant – Czars 11:
“CZARS 11 features tastes from around the world – eclectic, beautiful, and delicious – works of art in and of themselves.”
411 and 413 H Street, NE
OK the street chicken scourge is making perfect sense after all. Thanks to Justin for reporting Nando’s Peri Peri chicken is opening in January on H Street, NE.

Thanks to Caitlin for sending: “I leave for 1 week and this pops up. 4 different restaurants in 1.5 years.”
This has been quite a roller coaster from La Frontera Cantina to Ultimo Lounge to Divino Grill. Next up Malbec. Their Facebook page says:
“Argentine Restaurant · Fine Dining Restaurant · Family Style Restaurant”

From Bub and Pop’s:
“Today is Wednesday, December 30, and we are open until 4 pm.
Tomorrow, Thursday, December 31, the plan is to be open until 3 pm. We will be closed New Year’s Day January 1, 2016. As of right now we have not made a decision as to whether or not to open on Saturday January 2. I will leave a message on our restaurant phone 202-457-1111. I will post it on our FB page.
I want to thank you all for your expressions of caring through you posts on facebook, the cards sent and/or brought into the restaurant, and the flowers. To the man who designed the sign hung out front, to the Fed Ex store who did it for him. To the person who left the Phillies hat, to Margie next door at Ozio who put the flag on our door. I have not begun to read the cards as I am saving them for a quiet moment at home. Pete’s dad, Joel Taub is working on a memorial near his home in Lansdale, Pa. We are taking one day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time, sometimes one second at a time. From my heart, thank you for your show of love and support.
Much love from me and our family, Arlene”
Perhaps putting our current street chicken issues in context, a reader reports: “Looks like The Chickery is opening today.”
