Whoa, looks like the former Szechuan House Restaurant located at 748 6th St, NW (just south of H) got a nice face lift and is now the Joy Luck House Chinese Bakery and Cafe.
Anyone happen to try them out?

Thanks to a reader for sending a heads up that the “Deli” (there was also a sign on the door saying Breeze Bakery Cafe) underneath Pho DC had opened up at 608 H St, NW in Chinatown. It is operated from the folks at Pho DC and will serve steamed buns, bubble tea, smoothies, prepared foods and some other sundries. They were still stocking up when I stopped by yesterday but I’m eager to try the steamed buns. We’ll revisit for a proper judging after they’ve been open for a bit.
Back in late Feb. 2012 I was wondering what was happening with the Leica camera store coming to 975 F St, NW in Penn Quarter. I’m happy to report that this last weekend the store was open and looking awesome. This is some serious camera porn the Leica M9 below has a $7,000 price tag.
6th and F St, NW
They did it with their K street location and now they’re doing it with their Chinatown location opening Thurs. at 6th and F St, NW.

Capitol Hemp first opened in Apr. 2008 at 1802 Adams Mill Road, NW in Adams Morgan. They opened their 2nd location in Apr. 2010 at 519 H Street, NW in Chinatown. In Oct. 2011 their stores were raided by MPD.
1802 Adams Mill Road, NW
Yesterday store co-owner Adam Eidinger released a lengthy press release:
“Capitol Hemp, DC’s only source for high quality hemp clothing and accessories, should be celebrating its four-year anniversary since opening its doors on April 20, 2008. Instead, the company, which employs ten people, begins the arduous task of permanently closing down its Adams Morgan (1802 Adams Mill Rd, NW) and Chinatown (519 H St, NW) stores on August 1, 2012.”
Continues after the jump. (more…)
