“Haven’t see a line at Pasta Mia like this in a long time.”
Last week we noted Pasta Mia’s building was for lease and on Friday the Adams Morgan BID reported that “Pasta Mia is closing at the end of March”

“Dear PoPville,
Thought you might want to cover this – could be a huge change to a central part of the neighborhood.
Below is from ANC commissioner Billy Simpson on the Adams Morgan list serv:
Neighbors,
As some of you may have already heard, PN Hoffman has submitted plans to ANC1C for the proposed re-development of the lot where the SunTrust building and plaza currently sit at the corner of Columbia Road NW and 18th Street NW. The plans that were provided to ANC1C show a substantial building that almost completely eliminates the plaza. The plans are now posted on ANC1C’s website. (more…)

Back in February of 2014 there was a one year reprieve after Pasta Mia almost permanently closed in January 2014. Then in January of 2015 a ten year lease was signed. I don’t think anyone thought they’d actually stay the whole ten years but it looks like it’s gonna be sooner rather than later. Stay tuned. And go get some while you still can.
Thanks (and by thanks, I mean thanks for the nightmares…) to Abby for sending from Adams Morgan.

From an email:
“We’re sad to say that we’ll be closing our Adams Morgan location for good on April 30th and reopening at 3289 M Street NW on May 2nd. We love Adams Morgan and will miss it dearly but we’re also SO EXCITED to move Violet to a much larger space and bring our brand and exceptional customer service to Georgetown!
Since we’re moving moving to Georgetown at the end of April, we wanted to show our appreciation for all that our neighbors in Adams Morgan have given us over the last 5 years. To celebrate our 5th anniversary, on 3/11, we will be making three $1,100 donations to non-profits in the greater Adams Morgan neighborhood. We would love for our customers (and neighbors) to vote to assist us in picking the recipients. Voting will begin tomorrow at 5pm via an online form. Likes and comments on social media will not count towards voting. Find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/
