Shaw’s Day of Greatness Continues with Too Much New Retail and Restaurant News to List in this Title

Holy mackerel – Shaw is tearing it up. Scroll down and you’ll already see tons of great news from just this morning. Now comes the mother mother lode from the Washington Business Journal. First let me say that June’s Warby Parker scuttlebutt has been confirmed but still no news of a Whole Foods. Now for the rest:

“Trendy eyewear boutique Warby Parker and restaurants from the folks behind some of D.C.’s hottest restaurants are coming to two high profile developments in Shaw later this year.”

The Business Journal then goes on to list who’s coming to the Atlantic Plumbing and the Shay (8th and V St, NW). Here’s a sampling “new concept from Neighborhood Restaurant Group of Birch & Barley and Bluejacket fame and a concept from the owners of Chinatown ramen and izakaya restaurant Daikaya, Declaration Pizza, and Tasty Burger.”

and a sampling for the Shay:

“Warby Parker, Freehand, a restaurant from chef Tim Ma, the owner of Water & Wall in Arlington and Maple Ave. in Vienna, and a second location of Compass Coffee, Benrus (watches), Kit and Ace (clothing from Lulu lemon guy), Read Wall (clothing), and Steven Alan (clothing).

Holy freaking mackerel.

“transforming the check paying process by allowing diners to pay bar and restaurant tabs directly from their smartphones”

From a press release:

“Dash Software, LLC, a leading mobile payment platform for restaurants, bars, and clubs, announced today their expansion to Washington, D.C., the company’s third city of operation following its October 2014 launch in Chicago and November 2013 launch in New York City.

Dash has quickly risen in popularity with app-savvy Millennials for transforming the check paying process by allowing diners to pay bar and restaurant tabs directly from their smartphones. Now, the app comes to 17 venues around Washington, D.C. including The Exchange, The Fainting Goat, Jake’s American Grille, Nick’s Riverside, Smith Commons, and more.

“We’re incredibly excited to announce the launch of Dash in Washington, D.C. As a top-tier culinary city with a diverse food and bar scene catering to local young professionals and college students, the city is a perfect fit for Dash. We can’t wait to get started,” said CEO and co-founder Jeff McGregor, who, along with former college roommate Gennady Spirin, formulated the idea of Dash on New Year’s Day when the two were out to brunch and unable to grab their waiter’s attention at the busy venue.

With Dash, diners and bar-goers no longer need to worry about waiting for the check at a busy restaurant, splitting a bill with big groups, or leaving a credit card behind the bar after opening a tab. Fully integrated with the leading POS systems for bars and restaurants, Dash also gives added benefits and customer insights to restaurant and bar owners, allowing them to not only better serve their customers but to also offer up additional perks to increase customer loyalty. This year, Dash launched Venue Vibes, a feature that uses a venue’s POS system to reveal crowd levels and atmosphere in real time – with the indicators “lively,” “active,” “relaxed,” and “quiet” – so patrons can gauge the “vibe” of a bar or restaurant before even stepping foot inside.

From a press release:

“Three exciting new restaurants have leased space and will open later this year on the street level of The Colonel, a newly completed apartment community in the rapidly transforming Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC.

Shaw resident Josh Phillips will launch his first restaurant venture, Espita Mezcalería, bringing artisanal mezcals and Oaxacan food to Shaw. Phillips, a Master Mezcalier, aims to share his passion for mezcal with an innovative bar program that highlights the many varietals of the spirit, paired with the complex flavors of food from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Espita Mezcaleria will have both indoor and outdoor seating.

Co-owners of two of the city’s most wildly popular and acclaimed restaurants, The Red Hen and Boundary Stone, will open a new Roman and Italian-American concept called All Purpose, with The Red Hen chef/co-owner Michael Friedman manning the kitchen. Next door, award-winning pastry chef Tiffany MacIsaac, chef and owner of Buttercream Bakeshop, will open her first storefront shop offering custom wedding cakes and special occasion sweets as well as breakfast, lunch, and take-away items; she also will consult on the dessert program at All Purpose.
