Thanks to Jared for sending this essential news.

After an epic wait, Iron Age Korean Steak (and BBQ) opened in Columbia Heights on July 1st.

Anyone take an early taste? Update: Jill reports: “Went last night. We haven’t dined indoors since COVID started, but they take distancing really seriously – temperature check, hand sanitizer, making sure tables are far apart… The GREAT deal is $25 pp for AYCE dinner and $18 AYCE for lunch.”

Check out their full menu here.

This is the former home to Jenkins Capital BBQ/Ruby Tuesday.

From WMATA:

“Work on the Green and Yellow lines will continue through mid-July in the segments outlined below. Once this work is completed, Metro’s summer track work will move over to the Red Line from mid-July to August.

Metro will actively monitor ridership – which is currently extremely light – to ensure that the work does not cause unintended impacts as the region begins the initial stages of recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Why is Metro doing this work, and why now?

Currently, ridership levels are extremely low (down 90-95 percent), and buses are able to run in place of trains without traffic delays. Metro is taking advantage of these conditions to schedule around-the-clock track work in selected areas to keep critical maintenance and reliability projects on schedule. By doing this, Metro is working to offset potential delays to the project schedule as a result of Covid-19 safety protocols, supply chain delays, and workforce availability challenges.
