13th and Kenyon St, NW
Thanks to Sinead for sending. Updates when construction begins on likely new condos.
Columbia Heights
3115 14th Street, NW
A reader reports:
“The Heights was sold last Tuesday. Early word is that the new owner intends to turn the space into a sports bar. The inside will be redone. The bar will be removed and replaced with 30 self-serve beer taps. Much of the seating will be replaced with standing bar tables. Giant screen TVs will line the walls. Menu will be eclectic, to include pizza and crab hot pots.”
STAY TUNED.

We first heard about LJ Diner (from the Flip It folks) opening here back in August 2013.
Thanks to all who messaged good news – Chelsea writes:
“Flip It LJ Diner is now open on Park NW in Columbia Heights! Owners were handing out menus & 20% off coupons.”
Anyone take an early taste?
Check out the menu after the jump. (more…)

Last we checked back in March, there was a legit dumpster fire.
Like the way it’s now coming together?
Before:
It’s official!! El Rinconcito II finally reopening after suffering a terrible fire nearly a year ago. After Thursday’s news that Taqueria Distrito Federal had closed their 14th Street location this is welcome news indeed.
Kevin sums up the feeling of many nicely: “At least 2017 isn’t a total loss.”

Kevin reminds us:
“it’s really awesome and it’s always empty. The best Ethiopian food around. And great coffee.”
