Back in Feb. 2013 I shared some scuttlebutt that a Mexican restaurant would be coming to the former DC Fish Carryout space [where MPD had previously found large quantities of crack cocaine] at the corner of 14th and Otis Place, NW. A recent liquor license posted out front says:
EL Atardecer Restaurant
New restaurant serving Salvadorean and Mexican cuisine with seating for 60 patrons. Total occupancy is 60. Sidewalk Café with seating for approximately 29 patrons.
They hope to be open Sunday through Saturday 7am-3am.
Updates when they get closer to opening.

Jack Rose Dining Saloon Celebrates National Bourbon Day on June 14 with Rare Bourbon Flights in Private Basement Bar
Home to the largest whisky collection in the Western Hemisphere, Jack Rose offers uber-rare flights of Kentucky bourbon for National Bourbon Day
There’s no better place to celebrate a day devoted to bourbon than the place
with the largest whisky collection in the Western hemisphere. One of the country’s most esteemed bourbon destinations, Jack Rose Dining Saloon is celebrating National Bourbon Day on Friday, June 14 by offering can’t-get-anywhere-else flights of bourbon in its private basement bar.
June 14, 1789 is said to be the day that Rev. Elijah Craig first distilled whiskey from corn in Kentucky, storing his wares in barrels that had been charred in a fire. Hence, June 14 is now celebrated as National Bourbon Day. Elijah Craig’s name lives on in the form of a premium bourbon brand produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, KY.
In honor of Craig’s significant contributions to bourbon history, Jack Rose has created two flights of Heaven Hill-distilled bourbons – one featuring the award-winning Elijah Craig and one featuring Evan Williams single barrel vintages from the 90s. These bourbons are extremely rare, with no other place in the region able to offer all four in a flight.
Jack Rose will offer two different flights, one for each type of bourbon lover: an approachable flight of Evan Williams at $19; and a $ 55 flight for the serious bourbon connoisseur featuring small-batch, cask strength and single barrel bottlings from Elijah Craig. Each flight features 1 oz. pours of four bourbons.
Here are full details on Jack Rose’s National Bourbon Day flights:
$19 Evan Williams Flight:
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 1993 | 9 YR, 86.6°
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 1995 | 9 YR, 86.6°
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 1996 | 9 YR, 86.6°
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 1997 | 9 YR, 86.6°$55 Elijah Craig Flight:
Elijah Craig | small batch, 12 YR, 94°
Elijah Craig | cask strength, 12 YR, 134.2°
Elijah Craig | single barrel, D.1990, 20 YR, 95°
Elijah Craig | single barrel, 21 YR, 90°Jack Rose will offer these bourbon flights in its private basement bar from 5 p.m. to close and no reservations are required.

Originally opened in Aug. 2010 Ras Restaurant and Lounge has been closed since Dec. 2012. Looks like they’ll be reopening soon, though after peeking in the window, it looks like they’ll be some cosmetic renovations first. Stay tuned.

Back in January we first learned Arcuri would be taking over the Kavanagh’s Pizza Pub space in Glover Park. After extensive renovations Arcuri will be soft opening next week with a grand opening June 22nd. (Lunch service should start around the 19th of June.)
“The Arcuri name is the namesake of owner, Bryce Gerlach’s great grandfather. Rosario Antonio Arcuri was born in Nicastro Italy on January 19, 1895.”
They’ll have 14 beers on tap including Bell’s Oberon, Racer 5, Founder’s All Day, DC Brau Public, Jack’s Cider, Troegenator, Ommegang Hennepin, Victory Love, Allagash Curieux, and more in bottles and cans. They’ll have a nice selection of wines and prosecco. Ah, I almost forgot – they’ll also have house made Limoncello (I took a taste yesterday and it’s awesome.) Maybe even better (I didn’t get a chance to try it but it sounds sweet) they’ll also have frozen house Limoncello and frozen berry limoncella.
As for the menu you can expect to find Salumi, Crostino, risoto, meatballs, prosciutto wrapped cod, wood fired pork chop, pollo al daviolo, and many pizza options. I stopped by yesterday afternoon for some photos have a look:
Many more photos after the jump. (more…)

I’ve been getting this question pretty regularly (most recently on twitter @PoPville) ever since we learned about it back in Oct. 2012:
“Tavern serving bar food with a seating capacity of 70. Occupancy load of 70. Requesting a summer garden with a seating capacity of 20 and entertainment endorsement featuring live music.”
Last month New Columbia Heights reported an ANC Rep heard the owners were shooting for a July opening date. Based on the photo above taken last weekend and word from a reader who peeked in the window, well, I’d guess the likelihood of them opening in July is, uh, let’s say not very likely. Unless they meant July 2014. Anyway, I’m just glad it’s apparently still happening. Though I’ll feel a little more confident when renovations actually start. Stay tuned.

From a press release:
When battling the DC crowds, one might think there is something to the idea of exclusivity. There is also something to the idea of experience. Couple these and add a rooftop locale, signature décor including live grass walls, a very special menu of food and Absenthe cocktails and you have La Fée Verte—a private contemporary speakeasy style club within a club.
Located atop MOVA on 14th Street, guests wishing to experience La Fée Verte will have a private text number through which they can reserve the space at seatings either 8-10 pm, 10 pm-midnight or midnight -2 am every Wednesday through Saturday. Once on the very limited guest list, patrons will enter La Fée Verte by ascending through the curtained stairs of MOVA, where they will be transported to an emerald embodied world of live green grass walls; a forest of leafy plants, stylish cushy furniture, signature glass and serviceware and personal service.
La Fée Verte will offer an Absenthe cocktail based menu from which guests may make their selection of avariety of libations showcasing 6-8 different Absenthes in varying flavor profiles. A savory farm to table snack menu created by Chef Jerry Hollinger of The Daily Dish will be offered for those wishing to pair their cocktail with the appropriate small dish.
Reservations will be taken beginning July 1. It’s all enough to make anyone not in attendance green with envy.
La Fée Verte is located n the rooftop at MOVA.
