Last Tuesday we broke the news that a Nicecream was coming to Adams Morgan. A tipster sends word that they hear a Nicecream is also coming to Shaw possibly in The Shay. I give this tipster an 80% accuracy rating. Stay tuned.

Ed. Note: Earlier this morning we learned that Sababa, “a salute to the cooking of Israel”, was coming to the former Ardeo space down the strip.
You could get whip lash if you’re not careful here. Whoa part five from Wake Up Little Suzie:
“After 40 years of running a retail business I have decided that it is time for me to retire. This was not an easy decision but I am excited and am looking forward to the next part of my life.
Words cannot express the gratitude I owe to each of you who supported the store over the years. Wake Up Little Suzie not only survived but thrived in Cleveland Park. (more…)
