Early last week I mentioned that Tackle Box would not likely reopen after the Bandolero run in Cleveland Park. Thanks to everyone who shared the Tom Sietsema tweet:
“Owner of @Florianadc tells me he’s taking over @tackleboxdc site in Cleveland Park May 7 & turning it into Pulpo, (Octopus) a tapas bar.”
Floriana is located at 1602 17 St. NW. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
Back in Dec. 2011 a reader told us about two new houses being built on the 3000 block of Macomb St, NW by the Tregaron Conservancy. You can see how one is turning out above but the second is still just a foundation at the moment. We’ll revisit for a proper judging after they’ve both been completed.

In early April a press release was issued saying Chef Mike Isabella’s Bandolero will take over the Cleveland Park Tackle Box space in Cleveland Park from April 19 – May 4th.
Last night a resident on the Cleveland Park Listserv wrote:
“I had dinner at Bandolero at Tackle Box tonight, and the waiter mentioned that Tackle Box would not be opening again after Bandolero had finished their run.”
I’m also hearing this could be the case though it is unclear what the new concept will be when the Bandolero run ends. More info as it becomes available.

Back in Jan. 2011 National Shoe Rebuilders closed underneath Indique at at 3510 Connecticut Ave, NW. I had been really curious to see who would take over the space. Thanks to a reader for sending word of uBreakiFix Electronics Repair coming soon:

From a press release:
While Bandolero is still under construction in Georgetown, Chef Mike Isabella can wait no longer to share his taco-centric, margarita-laden menu with Washingtonians, so he is taking over Tackle Box in Cleveland Park.

The five-course tasting menu will feature Mexican dips, tacos, enchiladas, and other dishes with Chef Isabella’s touches, and like all of his menus, dishes may change frequently. Most courses will include a choice of dishes, as well as a vegetarian option. The $65 menu includes tax and gratuity.

From a press release:
As a truly seasonal restaurant, Ripple welcomes spring with the opening of a fresh mini gourmet market, Sugar Magnolia, on March 22. The Cleveland Park storefront in front of Ripple offers a rotating selection of artisanal sandwiches, pâtés, salads, craft sodas, and baked goods daily from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. Sugar Magnolia’s darling is the ice cream sandwich: of which all six flavors are scratch-made by pastry chef, Alison Reed. Everything from the cookie dough to the ice cream and hand-dipped or sprinkle-rolled finishing touch is made and packaged at Ripple.
Cream, milk and eggs used in the ice cream sandwiches are sourced from Trickling Springs Creamery and Path Valley Farms, family-owned farms in Pennsylvania. Allan Benton’s bacon, found in the maple bacon waffle ice cream sandwich, comes from Madisonville, Tennessee. All four seasons will be reflected in special ice cream flavors utilizing produce from many of Ripple’s local partner farms, including beets, strawberries, and summer fruits. Savory snacks like the rotating selection of terrines, rillettes, and pâtés are all house made, along with artisanal sandwiches filled with cured meats, smoked fish, and fresh cheeses. Craft sodas and additional sweet and savory treats round out the menu.
