In my memory this is one of the most turned over retail spaces (outside of Adams Morgan) in the District. Since Vegetate closed in 2009 the space has become an Ethiopian restaurant called Cafe Eagle then Taqueria Mexicana then an Ethiopian Sports Bar and Restaurant named Eagle (again) then was renamed Northern Restaurant.  In July of 2012 Secret Lounge and Sports Bar opened up but closed in Nov. 2013. Given the amount of work being done, now it looks like something permanent is coming:

Demo permit says new restaurant – stay tuned.

“No more @Bertuccis on Connecticut Ave. in Dupont. I’d be sad if I’d ever eaten there. (Maybe once?) @PoPville”

Another reader emailed that they were closed yesterday too at 1218-1220 Connecticut Ave NW near the Shake Shack. Where there any fans?

Finally some movement at the former New Orleans Po Boy space that closed back in December of last year. I hear it’s going to be something called Yaffa or Yaffa’s – I’m guessing Middle Eastern/Falafel? Anyone else hear this? Sounds like it won’t be a major renovation so we’ll update as soon as they open:
