Nice to potentially see some more patio dining for Adams Morgan. Little Fountain Cafe has long been one of the best “hidden gems” in the district. You can see their menu here.

“Dear PoPville,

1. Uprising Muffin Company
2. Fishnet
3. Vacant (2,100 sf)
4. Sprint
5. Eat the Rich
6. Mockingbird Hill
7. Bank of America
8. SiTea
9. Wanda’s Salon
10. Right Proper Brewpub (around the corner facing T Street)”
350 Tingey Street, SE
I stopped by Nando’s Peri Peri for a preview yesterday in the Boilermaker shops at Navy Yard. They are located a few doors down from the coming Bluejacket Brewpub on Tingey Street. The space turned out really nice:
While there will be another mock lunch service today – they officially open on Wednesday. You can see their menu here. To start hours will be 11am – 10pm.
More photos of the inside after the jump. (more…)
1639 Wisconsin Avenue, NW
A few weeks ago we also learned a new Thai restaurant, I-Thai, was coming to the former Garrett’s space on M Street. Last weekend I spotted these new signs for Pho Viet and Grille (Taste of Vietnam) coming to the former Bookhill Bistro space at 1639 Wisconsin Avenue, NW. Looking forward to seeing how these turn out.
And in even More Beer News – Mad Fox Brewing Company Taproom coming to former Mayfair and Pine Space
2218 Wisconsin Avenue, NW
Ed. Note: Mayfair and Pine closed back in late March. You can see Mad Fox’s beer menu here and food menus here.
From a press release:
“Following last month’s festive celebration of the third anniversary of its flagship brewpub in Falls Church, Mad Fox Brewing Company announced today that it will expand to Washington, DC, with plans to open a 4,590 square foot taproom at 2218 Wisconsin Avenue, NW in Glover Park. Mad Fox Brewing Company Taproom (Mad Fox Taproom), a 127-seat neighborhood establishment, is slated to open by the end of first quarter 2014, depending on the renovations needed and the permitting process.
“Glover Park is a wonderful neighborhood that deserves a great beer bar like the Mad Fox Taproom,” said Mad Fox CEO and Executive Brewer Bill Madden. Mad Fox has been searching for a location in the Nation’s Capital for the past 20 months, scouting out 27 neighborhoods throughout the District. “Glover Park offers an ideal fit for our concept and shares similarities with Falls Church in its demographics and overall environment. And just like in Falls Church, we look forward to becoming an active and positive member of the community, contributing to both the economy and the culinary options of the area.”
The Mad Fox Taproom will showcase its award-winning handcrafted beers with draught and English-style cask service, with up to 24 draught and cask options. Diners can expect a full menu with appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, salads and small plates. (more…)
Thanks to @rgutauskas for sending word:
“@popville LOOK Restaurant being featured on an upcoming food network show…hmmm”
LOOK first opened up in the former Teatro Goldoni space on K Street back in March. In May we learned they were hoping for an “expansion to increase capacity load from 186 to 419.”
Stay tuned.
1909 K Street, NW
3334-3336 14th Street, NW
In May 2012 this was the space where we thought an Olive Garden could be coming. We finally know who the tenant will be after a liquor license application was posted out front at the corner of 14th and Monroe St, NW. Thanks to the many, many readers who sent emails.
Alas it will become a TGI Fridays:
“New casual American cuisine restaurant. Entertainment will consist of occasional Deejay and/or Karaoke. Seating for 290 patrons, total load is 325. Sidewalk Café with seating for 16 patrons.”
Hours will be Sunday through Saturday 10am-2am.
This is located right across the street from Ruby Tuesday to the east. I wonder who will have the better salad bar?
And it’s located across the street from the Dance Institute to the north:
And a block away to the south is DCUSA:
201 Upshur Street, NW
So it ain’t The Palm but the prices are great! La Joya Steak House is located in the former El Limeno space across from Hitching Post by the Old Soldier’s Home.
1633 P Street, NW
The restaurant shuffle at 1633 P Street, NW continues. Back in Oct. 2012 Heritage India moved into the former Skewers space above the then Cafe Luna. Now Malgudi has moved into the Cafe Luna space (first spotted by @jsidman) in the bottom space. Malgudi is owned by Heritage India – check out their menu here. We first heard about Malgudi back in March when they opened their Glover Park location featuring “unique curries, dosas and uthappams of South India”. Word is that the food is really good.
Will anyone miss Cafe Luna here?
1st and Seaton Pl, NW
Red Hen opened up in Bloomingdale in mid-April. You can see their menu here. Any must order items?
