Good news from Perry’s owner Saied Azali:
“The was a small fire from one of the hoods at Mintwood Place yesterday due to the wind. Luckily no one was hurt and most of the damage was from the chemical treatment that was sprayed. Perry’s will be open this evening and we hope to open Mintwood Place tomorrow.”

A reader reports:
“Spoke with an employee and was told the inside is being redone and a relaunch of an Italian restaurant is going where spaghetti garden is located. Saw a draft menu online. No idea when it was opening. Hopefully soon since Pasta Mia closed.”
Spaghetti Garden’s website says:
“It all began in 1980 with two brothers and a dream.
–
In 1980 brothers Solemin and Iraj set foot in Adams Morgan and began preparing food they enjoyed eating upon arriving in America. They opened what was then the second restaurant in Adams Morgan and it was a great hit. Times changed, the baton has been passed and now a passionate culinary team with equally passionate bartenders have come together to bring small plates, spot on cocktails, great wines and select beers to Adams Morgan”

Chad reports at 11:45am:
“It’s a major fire. Smoke was just pouring out. All the streets were hazy. Looked like all the kitchen staff stayed up there trying to put it out. They finally had to run out.”
Liz reported:
“Perry’s is apparently on fire again, and this time I definitely see/smell smoke and hear the fire alarms going off inside. At least 6 trucks with more arriving. Seems to be under control though.
Update, firefighters are going in and out of Mintwood, too, and smoke is coming out of the doors there. Looked like they were getting hoses ready. This seems to be a bigger deal than the last incident, but no visible flames.
Columbia Rd is blocked off at Mintwood up to 18th, and the end of Biltmore at Columbia is blocked with parked fire trucks. The 42 bus is offloading at Belmont and just stopping for now.”
Luke reported:
“two ladders up to roof”
From the Mayor’s office:
“FEMS responded to a fire at Mintwood Place and Perrys this morning at approximately 11:00am. The fire did not spread beyond the building, but we spoke with John and Sayid and, as of right now, they are anticipating keeping the restaurants closed for a couple days.
We will work with FEMS, the businesses affected and the Adams Morgan Community as we respond together to this incident.”

Yesterday we mentioned two new restaurants coming to The Line DC hotel in Adams Morgan. A very, very good source tells me that those new restaurants are coming from none other than Maketto/Toki Underground’s Erik Bruner-Yang and Baltimore’s Woodberry Kitchen’s Spike Gjerde. If this pans out this’ll be huge and a spectacular compliment to the already awesome Mintwood Place down the block. Updates when/if more is known. In the meantime – keep talking sh*t about Adams Morgan…
