Well that was fast. I didn’t even realized Z Kabob had opened in the former Snap space but it’s already been emptied out:

And apparently Federal next door has closed for more than just repairs:

From an email:
“We wanted to invite you to the D.C.-area tasting of “No Middle Ground”—the coffee IPA created by coffee roaster Counter Culture Coffee and All About Beer Magazine in collaboration with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.—on Thursday, August 28th, from 6-8pm, at Counter Culture’s Washington, D.C., Training Center (1840 Columbia Road NW, Suite 203).

Sweet Themez opened up in the original Crooked Beats location back in 2011. A reader says they closed their Adams Morgan retail spot last week.
Update from the owner:
“We had some water damage to our unit that the owner refused to fix. Therefore, we are renting a commercial kitchen nearby and are offering free delivery to our customers.”
You can check out ther website and menu here.
And thanks to many other readers for sending word that the troubled NY DIVA NY space is now for lease.

Sad, sad news via a commenter in this morning’s rant/revel from WTOP:
“But pretty soon, Romo will have a whole new view on life — quite literally. This fall, Bacon and Scourby will move out of their Adams Morgan apartment to a bigger space in “the burbs” — Arlington.”
Romo from Adams Morgan is understandably the most photographed dog to appear on PoPville. Farewell good pup.
