Back in early June we learned that Halal Kabob House was coming to the former Piccante Pizza space on 18th Street. Their website says:
“Our menu is based on simple grill Kabobs where the taste and quality stands for what we believe in. We wanted to create a neighborhood restaurant that serves delightful Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi cuisine. The restaurant is simple, casual and inviting. Although small, the jovial atmosphere is sure to make newcomers feel welcome. Curries and Kabobs dominate the menu, but there is also vegetarian and fish section as well. The lentils and chickpeas are hearty and well seasoned. The naan bread, prepared on the premises, is delicious. The desserts are extraordinary sweet. Get entertained today by the delicious food.”
Ed. Note: Their menu is not up to date on their website. Here’s what the posted out front (sorry if it’s a bit small). Updates when they announce an opening date.

From a press release:
“It’s a Brewery! Celebrating the “rebirth” of San Francisco-based Shmaltz Brewing Co., DC’s Jack Rose Dining Saloon is christening the brewery’s new NYC home with a rooftop tap takeover party hosted by Shmaltz brewmaster himself, Jeremy Cowan, on Saturday, July 20 at 2PM. The alfresco celebration will feature 24 Shmaltz brews on draft, from the cask and in rare vintage bottles – including the limited-release Death of a Contract Brewer IPA – as well as celebratory cigars, creative deli fare and an afternoon of beer and shower-themed games like baby bottle bowling and beer bingo.
“Born” in San Francisco in 1996, Shmaltz is being “rebirthed” now in 2013 with its new 20,000-square-foot, 50-barrel brewing home in Clifton Park, NY. With the help of Jack Rose beer director Nahem Simon, Shmaltz is taking over the rooftop’s tap handles with brews from its loved He’Brew and Coney Island Lagers lines as well as launching the uber-rare, exclusive Death of a Contract Brewer Commemorative Black IPA, making Jack Rose the only place outside of NYC to taste this celebratory limited-release brew.
Since 18 is a sacred number in the Jewish tradition, Jack Rose will be featuring 18 award-winning Shmaltz beers on draft and cask, including the first keg of Death of a Contract Brewer Commemorative Black IPA to make it outside of NYC (more…)

“The new location of Mediterranean Spot on 18th St in Adams Morgan opened last night. We stopped in to check on the owner this evening and the place looks beautiful! They are going to have outdoor seating and pizza at this location.”
The Adams Morgan location is in the former Carribou Coffee/Uptowner Cafe space at 2421 18th St, NW.
The OP adds: “We went back at 10pm last night and I tried the pizza with chicken shawarma on top – it was delicious.”
A couple of weeks ago we learned their 15th and U St, NW location would be applying for a liquor license, sidewalk seating and adding brick oven pizzas.

Not even a couple years ago many folks would go ballistic whenever someone wrote AdMo instead of the full Adams Morgan. I don’t know if it’s because of twitter (character restrictions etc.) but I now see folks using AdMo all the time. And it seems most folks’ heads don’t explode. Obviously there are those who will go ballistic but I think they are in the minority now. Though I guess this is only for the written form. Do you ever hear people say AdMo instead of the full Adams Morgan? Has CoHi also become an acceptable written abbreviation for Columbia Heights?
From MPD:
“The Metropolitan Police Department would like to inform the public that street closures for the Bastille Day Celebration are scheduled to start on Saturday, July 13, 2013, from 9:00 am and end at 1:00 am on Sunday, July 14, 2013.
