5214 Georgia Avenue, NW
Dear PoPville,
There is a new liquor and wine shop, Simple and Good (S&G), at 5214 Georgia Avenue, NW (Kennedy street). I wanted to pass on to let some more people around this area of petworth/brightwood know. I know it’s just another liquor store on Georgia ave but its so much cleaner than the others I have visited near here and the owners are very friendly! They also carry good wines and craft beers.

Located between City Paws and Masa 14 at 1821 14th Street, NW, the Lux Design store has closed due to raise in rent according to a quick chat with the owner. Lux opened back in Dec. 2011 and filled the space previously held by ICON Interiors and Lighting.

Back in late September we learned that Pizzeria Uno had closed at 3211 M Street, NW. A very reliable source hears that a Billy Reid will be taking over the space. Any fans of Billy Reid?
Last week I shared some scuttlebutt that a Frye Boots would be taking over the former Papa Razzi Space in Georgetown. That has since been confirmed. Interesting to note that two former restaurant spaces will become retail spots.

Congrats to Three Little Pigs owners Jason and Carolina who are getting married! They will be taking some well deserved time off so be sure to stock up on your charcuterie and salumi needs before they temporarily close this Sunday until Superbowl weekend (Feb. 3rd.)

And I didn’t even know the Dress Barn had closed… A permit posted out front says a restaurant will be coming into the space:
More info as it becomes available. Pret a Manger it is. Pret a Manger is on a Taylor Gourmet paced expansion around town!
Ed. Note: We recently learned that a Noodles and Company was opening across the street on the east side of 17th and K.

Back in June Papa Razzi restaurant closed at 1064-1066 Wisconsin Avenue, NW. I’m hearing that Frye Boots will be taking over the space. Any fans of Frye boots?

From an email:
The Ulysses Room Night Market will bring together our favorite local designers and boutiques for a night shopping event (inspired by the popular Brooklyn Night Bazaar). We also invited Cream Cycle – whose hand-made gourmet ice-cream sandwiches will be available for the first time to the public and will include: Mexican Jalapeño Chocolate (chocolate cookie, jalapeno ice cream, fresh banana), Cereal Milk (cereal milk ice cream, vanilla cookie, granola), and Ginger Spice (ginger bread cookie, vanilla ice cream, fresh nutmeg and ginger)
This event will bring together some of our favorite independent designers, shops, and food purveyors in DC for a festive evening of shopping, food, and merriment under the ivy-ringed skylight of Ulysses Room.
Full list of vendors after the jump. (more…)

First it looked like it looked like a new market from the owners of Toscana Cafe would open in the space, then it looked like it would become a liquor store but now we finally have the answer – a salon. I suppose it’s possible they’ll serve mimosas…
Pleasure Place closed in Aug. 2010.

A few weeks ago we learned Simon Vintage would be taking over the former Toucan Boutique space at 1911 9th Street, NW just south of U Street. The owner writes:
We are now opened as of today, December 10th. We are selling vintage (and some newer) furnishings as well as many other vintage items.
There is a plan to get rid of the white wrought iron gate, but probably not until the summer.
We have a basic website up at simonvintage.com where you will see how Simon, miniature pinscher, ties into furniture…!
Pease stop in and say hello! Open 11 to 8 daily and noon to 8 weekends.
