Back in June with much delight we shared the news that “Spoon is Back!!” Alas this morning another reader sends this listing:

“Restaurant Space for Lease

Located on the premier block of Adams Morgan, the 1500 s.f. space is beautifully designed and currently operating as a fast casual format restaurant and could accommodate a full service restaurant. A new kitchen with lined shaft and 8′ hood will convey with the lease. Western facing windows showcase a split-level seating area for great street visibility. The block is home to Adams Morgan staples like Songbyrd, Idle Time Books, Madam’s Organ, Tryst, the Diner and Retrobottega, truly the preeminent nightlife strip in the city. (more…)

I once ran into the guy who does these signs and he was so nice. I kick myself every time I see one for not learning his story.

Following on the heels of the coconut conundrum comes this milk mystery from Mary:

Sup with the Streets Market Coming to Adams Morgan? Vol. 938

By Prince Of Petworth


1864 Columbia Road, NW

As late December has come and gone and many, many folks have inquired what’s up with the Streets Market coming to the former Metro K space. The folks from Streets Market tell me they are now on track for: “a late Jan / early Feb opening. Almost done on the inside.”

We should have a firmer date in the next couple of weeks. STAY TUNED.

By Prince Of Petworth

Avi tells us: “not sure if you already know this, but just confirmed with some Federalist Pig staff that they’re expanding next door. The guy I spoke to said they’re moving forward with it, but didn’t have an exact timeline yet. Seems like our rib tip dreams are coming true.”

Back when Cricket closed next door in October, a reader wrote: “Perhaps an expansion is in their future?” I was skeptical but shared the famous James Allen quote – “Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” Indeed. (more…)

More Ramen for Adams Morgan!

By Prince Of Petworth


2479 18th Street, NW

Thanks to Jenna (and all) who sent word about Ramenville Adams Morgan getting a new Ramen shop. Isshin Ramen just opened in October and now has more company (not to mention the relatively old school Sakuramen (and don’t forget soba noodles and lots more are coming down the block too.) Akira Ramen & Izakaya has soft opened (already?) in the former North Sea space, which closed over the summer. You can see a menu for the Rockville location of Akira Ramen & Izakaya restaurant here.
