Most recently in August we noted that the Florida Avenue Grill had added outdoor seating (obviously more substantial in the warmer months than what’s pictured here but check out the sweet table below.) Now they’ve posted a liquor license placard too:
“Soul food restaurant. Total Occupancy Load of 50. Sidewalk Café with seating for 36.”
Hours of alcohol consumption are listed as Sunday through Thursday 10am-12am, Friday and Saturday 10am-2am and sidewalk cafe hours are listed as Sunday through Saturday 8am-9pm.
For those who haven’t been in a while you can see their menu here.

Thanks to a tipster for sending word that the former Shawarma Spot has been leased to Yamas Mediterranean Grill. This will be Yamas’ 2nd restaurant in DC – they opened one at 16th and U on New Hampshire back in May 2014. The Shawarma Spot most recently closed back in August after a roller coaster of openings and closings. Stay tuned for an opening date for Yamas when it’s announced.
Thanks to GA for sending. Taqueria & Rosticeria is coming to the former ‘The Spot’ deli location at 7th and H Street, NE.
Ed. Note: Yesterday we learned about the new Taqueria that opened in Mount Pleasant.

Yesterday we learned about all the retail and restaurants coming to the Convention Center. Here’s lots more info about what got me most giddy – from a press release:

Smoked & Stacked will showcase in-house brined and smoked pastrami that will melt in your mouth.

We first heard about Beard Papa’s Cream Puffs back in February. Their website had a “late summer” (and Spring before that) opening which obviously passed but at least they’re now hiring! Stand by for “unique French choux dough puffs” soon.
Holy smokes I guess the marketing strategy worked…
From a press release:
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser, At-Large Councilmember Vincent Orange, and Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans joined Events DC – the convention and sports authority for the District – to announce six new retail and restaurant tenants that will soon occupy spaces that have been vacant for years at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. These businesses will bring highly anticipated economic activity and jobs to Washington, DC, and more community services to the Shaw Corridor.
By filling 100% of the available space at the Convention Center’s street-facing retail establishments, Events DC is demonstrating its dedication to the Shaw community, while contributing to the continued economic vitality of the District. Collectively, the leases with these businesses represent a 10-year revenue of $7 million.
Future tenants coming to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, include the following establishments:
· Unconventional Diner, a locally owned and operated high-end diner concept and brainchild of two DC residents/business owners.
· Union Kitchen Grocery, a locally inspired corner market that will be expanding the brand’s footprint to the Shaw neighborhood. Union Kitchen Grocery has an existing location in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
· Smoked & Stacked, a fast-casual sandwich shop that will showcase in-house brined and smoked pastrami.
· Morris, a craft cocktail bar, featuring notable DC-based chef and restauranteur, Spike Mendelsohn. This cocktail bar will be an expansion from their Sheppard concept which had its original location in Dupont Circle.
· Urban Athletic Club and Composition ID, a motivating and inspiring fitness marketplace and health diagnostic center. Urban Athletic Club has previously existing locations in both Georgetown and Glover Park.
· A Barbershop Concept that will relocate their pre-existing location in the Shaw neighborhood.”
