One reader writes: “Looks like Harris Teeter in Adams Morgan is charging a new fee for large cash back transactions.”
and another writes about the NoMa location:
“My roommate, a French national studying at Georgetown Law, was refused the right to buy alcohol at Harris Teeter with her passport. They said they no longer accept international forms of identification, essentially preventing international students, tourists and often non-citizens from purchasing alcohol.“

Some may say I’m obsessed with Trader Joe’s. Some say I drink too much beer. But this post isn’t about me. It’s about the siren’s call of those mini tacos and their purveyor – sweet, sweet, Trader Joe’s. And thanks to Nicholas Michael for scoring the opening date!! (more…)

I’ve been getting lots of emails from folks asking for updates on the Streets Market coming to the old Metro K space. I’m told they are just waiting on a construction permit but they are definitely still coming. If all goes well they should open in the fourth quarter of 2019.
22nd and N Street, NW
Also the Streets coming to the West End is on track to open in the third quarter of this year.

From the Mayor’s Office:
“At RECon, the annual meeting of the International Council of Shopping Centers, Mayor Muriel Bowser, Rappaport Development, and WC Smith announced plans for Lidl US to open its first store in Washington, DC at Skyland Town Center, an 18-acre site located in Ward 7 at the intersection of Good Hope Road, Naylor Road, and Alabama Avenue SE. In January, the Mayor broke ground on Good Food Markets in the Bellevue community in Ward 8, making Lidl the second major announcement about bringing a new grocery store East of the River in the first six months of the Mayor’s second term.
“Lidl is a fantastic grocery store – a grocery store that we are proud to be bringing to the residents of Ward 7,” said Mayor Bowser. “Lidl knows what we know: Every corner of Washington, DC is a great place to do business. As we continue working to make our city’s prosperity more inclusive, this partnership is a reflection of the work we are doing to bring high-quality resources and amenities to every part of our city – amenities that will set our families and neighborhoods up for long-term success.”
The Skyland Development Team secured the lease with Lidl US, a grocer that operates more than 65 stores across nine East Coast states. Joining CVS and other restaurant and service uses, Lidl will occupy 29,089 square feet within the Skyland development. The store will be the first internationally recognized full-service supermarket to enter Wards 7 and 8 since 2007. (more…)
