This is the spot from the owners of City Tap House coming to former Tuscana West space across from Franklin Square park. You can see their NYC location’s menus here. Looks like the designers are the same folks who built out Provision No. 14 on 14th Street:

Thanks to a reader for sending word that Romeo & Juliet has finally opened in the former White Tiger space. Their website says:
“Great food, great people Welcome to our new restaurant.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day.” – It has taken over 2 years to develop our restaurant to get the right feeling when you walk through our doors and taste from our kitchen.”

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“On the corner of 6th and H Street, NW in Chinatown. Just saw yesterday on the way home. They were working on the exterior. Several years ago it was a video store then temporarily a pizza by the slice place.”
Could be awesome. Updates when more is known.

Given all the talk on the Greek monetary crisis it got me thinking – about Gyros. Excuse me, Yeeros. What’s the word on GRK? Or better to wait on line down the block at Greek Deli?

A reader reports:
“Was strolling by yesterday and saw signs for Imm on H’s soft opening. No liquor license yet, but nice to finally have some Thai food in the neighborhood.”

From Ben’s Chili Bowl:
“The construction is over and the long awaited and eagerly anticipated opening of Ben’s Chili Bowl H Street will take place on Wednesday, July 8th starting with the official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 11AM!
The Ben’s team is ready to serve the H Street community with the same extended hours as our original U Street location, so we will open at 6am for breakfast and close very late night at 2am on weekdays and 4am on weekends. In addition to our famous milkshakes, Ben’s H Street will have a soft serve ice cream machine! Now you can follow your Ben’s Chili Smoke, Dog, or Burger with a cone or cup of soft serve ice cream to help cool off your hot summer days or nights!
Coming soon will also be a sidewalk patio with outdoor seating! Plus, we have a few more surprises inside as we continue our mission of Food, Family, Friends and Fun!
What’s upstairs? Ben’s Upstairs! We are still putting the finishing touches on our second floor restaurant and bar, Ben’s Upstairs, and are working hard on the beautiful rooftop that will feature another bar and stunning views of H Street. We hope to open Ben’s Upstairs in 2-3 months, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we hope you will join us to celebrate Opening Day at Ben’s Chili Bowl H Street on Wednesday, July 8th at 11AM!!!”
