“DC-based members of the offbeat feminist humor site, The Toast, are holding a bake sale from 10 am until 1 pm on Saturday, June 24 at Brookland’s Monroe Street Farmers Market located at 716 Monroe Street NE (right behind the Brookland Metro Station). All funds raised at the sale will benefit DC Books to Prisons. This is the third sale to be held by DC toasties. The first two sales, held in late 2016, raised enough money to cover two weeks worth of book shipping costs, the organization’s main expense. (more…)

8th and Monroe Street, NE
Yesterday on the Brookland listserv a resident shared:
“The manager of Filter shared yesterday when I was there that they are closing their Monroe St. location on Sunday (4/30) due to insufficient business. The bike shop will remain, and his understanding is that they have plans to open something more food-centric in the space where the coffee shop has been.”
I spoke with the owner of the Bike Rack who tells me that Little Red Fox will be taking over the space!! You can expect:
“variety of healthy take out foods, breakfast burritos and coffee drinks.”
Stay tuned for lots more info next week.
