Thanks to all who sent emails. Southern Hospitality replaces Adams Mill Bar and Grill located at 1813 Adams Mill Rd, NW. Last we heard:
“They will specialize in American fare with $10 small plates and $20 entrees to include salmon and filet mignon among many others.”
I wonder if this is just temporary? It is the north side of U St, NW just east of 18th Street in Adams Morgan. If the crosswalk is permanently removed – does that make sense?
The Savour restaurant became Instant Noodles at 2408 18th St, NW in Adams Morgan back in July 2011. You can see their menu here and in PDF here.
Any fans of the Pho or Banh Mi?
Back in mid-Sept. it was announced that Citibank would be coming to the old Blockbuster space at 1751 Columbia Rd, NW. Turns out the lease negotiations fell through.
Maybe a Jos A Bank would be interested…?
Mellow Mushroom is one of the most eagerly anticipated new restaurants I’ve ever posted about. So now that they’ve been open a couple of months – what do you think of the pizza? For those who’ve been to other locations – how does this one compare? For folks that have never been before did it meet your expectations?
Back in early October, Bistro 18 became a Jamaican Jerk Chicken spot (with the dubious slogan, “Wanna Get Jerked”) called Jamaican Joe’s at 2420 18th Street NW. Last weekend the signage was removed revealing the old Bistro 18 signs. I’m not sure if Bistro 18 will actually reopen or someone else will move in but I’ll keep my eyes on the space.
It seems 18th Street is having a bit of an identity crisis with next door neighbor Slaviya recently becoming ‘A Taste of New Orleans’ before returning to Slaviya again. Not to mention the space that is now McNasty’s…for now.
Press releases went out yesterday. From Rep. Norton:
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) has confirmed that the Kalorama post office (2300 18th St.), located in Ward 1, has been taken off the United States Postal Service (USPS) Expanded Access Study List and is no longer being considered for closure.
Last week, Norton announced that seven of the 19 D.C. post offices on the list for possible closure had been removed, and USPS announced this week that it would delay closing or consolidating any post offices until May 2012.
CM Graham wrote:
At a Ward 1 community meeting convened by USPS and myself, DC Postmaster Gerald Roane acknowledged some 2500 messages he had received to preserve both 14th/Wallach and Kalorama/Adams Morgan post offices.
Postmaster Roane then announced that Kalorama would be removed from the list of post offices “under study” and that it would not be considered for closing. Further good news, USPS is committed to finding a new U Street area location for the 14th St P.O. to replace the current location which is set for redevelopment. Until the end of the lease in February 2012, the Post Office will remain open. Hopefully by then we will have at least a temporary location in the U Street neighborhood.
This home is located at 1480 Harvard St, NW:
The flier says:
“Welcome to this grand brick end-unit townhome built in the Wardman style less than 2 blocks from Columbia H. metro and shopping! W/ 3,000 sq. ft. this versatile layout could be finished in its current configuration as a spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, w/ a walk-out basement & a detached one-car garage. The possibilities are fantastic, and the location can not be beat. .. Welcome and enjoy!!”
You can find more info here and photos here.
This 4 bed/2.5 bath went under contract in only 4 days. Asking was $549,000. Do you think it was bid up?

On a sadder note this will be my last shift before I take the long move up to Buffalo…gotta see about a girl.
Buffalo’s gain is our loss. Brian Kruglak was def. one of DC’s best beer directors. Good luck, Brian!
