From a press release:
“The Tryst Trading Company has announced it will now offer carryout with limited menu options and household pantry items at its flagship restaurant, Tryst.
The CEO and Owner Constantine Stavropolous explains the priorities in safety and putting a limited staff back to work. “The health and safety of our staff is our first priority. Like many DC restaurants, we temporarily closed our restaurants in March. While it was a heartbreaking decision, we remained optimistic about reopening our doors in a safe and responsible manner. Our team members have been incredibly patient as we worked to reopen our doors.”
Guests can access the limited menu items and household pantry staples from Tryst’s website. Household pantry item orders will need to be placed in advance, and items can be picked up at Tryst from 8 AM- 3 PM daily. (more…)

Yesterday we reported shots fired at the Cuban Embassy by a man with an assault rifle.
From MPD: “The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) announce an arrest has been made regarding multiple shots fired in the 2600 block of 16th Street, Northwest on Thursday, April 30, 2020.
At approximately 2:10 am, members of MPD’s Third District responded to the listed location in reference to the sounds of gunshots. Upon arrival, MPD members located a subject with an assault-style rifle. The subject was immediately taken into custody without incident and the weapon was recovered. No injuries were reported at the scene. The investigation indicates that the subject was shooting toward a foreign embassy building located in the block.
On April 30, 2020, 42 year-old Alexander Alazo, of Aubrey, TX, was charged in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia with a Violent Attack on a Foreign Official or Official Premises Using a Deadly Weapon, Interstate Transportation of a Firearm and Ammunition With Intent to Commit a Felony, and Willfully Injuring or Damaging Property Belonging to or Occupied by a Foreign Government in the United States. This case remains under investigation with the USSS with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Diplomatic Security Service. Anyone with information should call the USSS at 202-406-8800.”

Thanks to all who messaged us. Just when you think…
THEHAUGE6 reports: “@PoPville There was a shooting outside the Cuban Embassy in the 2600 block of 16th St NW around 2:15 AM. Police arrived extremely fast and arrested one man with a rifle.”
One reader reported to us via email: “10+ shots fired at 2:10am. I couldn’t sleep and just heard a LOT of gunshots and now can hear police cars and ambulances. I live on 16th and Euclid.”
Another: “a man shouting something about being a US citizen. That was the loudest thing I’ve ever heard.”
Another: “Heard what sounded like at least 20 gunshots and now there’s a huge police presence on 16th in front of the Cuban embassy with yellow tape on both sides of 16th st”

Thanks to Tess for sending some urgently needed non virus news. Isshin Ramen opened in this ever changing location formerly home to #1 Juicy Cajun Seafood (and many others) back in October 2019. Wok n Roll closed their Adams Morgan location just up the block from here back in September 2019. Stay tuned.
From MPD:
“MPD responded for a burglary in progress in the 1700 block of Lanier Place NW, which involved a subject who was in what appeared to be a mental health crisis. He attempted to harm himself and resisted officers attempts to detain him. Officers utilized a less-lethal impact weapon in order to ultimately bring the subject into custody. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
This was taken around 10pm [Ed. Note still taken from a video showing lots of rats] last night in the alley behind the restaurants (mostly closed) located in the 2300 block of 18th St NW and Champlain St NW. Although this has always been an issue, we have seen increased numbers and aggressive behavior from the rats. The city has provided the black boxes and visits by abatement trucks but the situation has worsened. The rats have caused excessive damage to the car engines parked in the alley block. We have tried high frequency sonar, moth balls, oils etc to no avail. Looking for any suggestions of who/where to turn for proven results?”
From Duplex Diner (2004 18th Street, NW):
“We will be taking carry out orders through our website. Our full menu is available there for ordering directly from our website.
We will be open every night Monday-Saturday for dinner to go and Saturday And Sunday brunch to go all day.
We will also be offering Specials during the week: (more…)

A reader sends from Adams Morgan:
“I wanted to alert you all to something that happened to me in my neighborhood (Admo/Kalorama) on Thursday night to make sure everyone remains vigilant, especially during these strange times. My property manager found on the security footage that there had been a stranger looking into my windows (only two of which were even partially open!) for about half an hour around midnight on Thursday night.
