1326 Park Road, NW
Back in May I mentioned that El Rinconcito had an awesome outdoor dining area at 1326 Park Road, NW in Columbia Heights. More good news – they’re applying for longer hours. They are currently open until 12am and hope to extend their hours until 2am Sun-Thurs and 3am Fri-Sat though the outdoor area would still close at 12am.

The Cava Grill coming to the former Radiance Medspa space at 3105 14th St, NW in Columbia Heights is nearly finished. Check out the sweet new signage above. If all goes well they should be opening next week – stay tuned.

Back in Feb. we we first learned where they’d be located. Thanks to a reader for sending the photo above of the new signage for Lime Fresh coming to DC USA in Columbia Heights.
You can see their menu here.
I took peek inside on Sunday and it looks like they’re getting pretty close:

From a press release:
UIP General Contracting Inc. of Washington, DC (UIPGC) has been selected by the 1489 Newton Street Cooperative, Inc. to renovate the exterior and common areas of its 24-unit building in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington, DC. The project is getting underway in June and is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
UIPGC will provide a new design-build amenity space in the building’s basement level, to include a community room, restroom facilities, and storage lockers, as well as upgraded finishes (including tile, carpeting, paint, and fixtures) throughout the space. In addition, UIPGC will upgrade the entire building’s electrical system and make interior and exterior structural repairs.
11th and Harvard St, NW
This is the building that will become the ’11th Street Living Facility’. How do you think the rebuilt section turned out?

From @IAFF36 around 9pm:
“Columbia heights: Triple stabbing, 1pt. Priority 1 to Medstar-life threatening, 1 Pt to Howard Priority 2. 14th & Spring Road Nw: Triple stabbing”
Dear PoPville,
Some time between 430-500pm today my basement apartment on 11th (across from Tubman Field) lost power in some rooms, but not others. In talking to neighbors this is an issue on my block and the surrounding area and I’ve also heard that Room 11 and El Chocho’s are closed due to no power. I’ve already called Pepco and they’re aware of the outage. There’s a rumor that the construction on Sherman is the cause. Have you heard anything?
@Room11dc tweets:
“No power on the strip! We are closed due to Pepco!”
Anyone else lose power today?
Looks like the for sale sign and symbols from the NationHouse building at 770 Park Rd, NW have been removed:
“NationHouse was founded in July 1974 in Washington, D. C. NationHouse grew out of the student activism of Howard University community in the late 1960s. We are one of the oldest independent Afrikan centered schools in the United States and in the DC metropolitan area serving the specific needs of children of Afrikan heritage from pre-school to twelfth grade.”
Anyone hear if the building sold?
How it looked in 2008:
El Chucho Cocina Superior opened up last Friday at 3313 11th St, NW in Columbia Heights. Anyone get an early taste?
If so, any must order items?
