Last week on Instagram (thanks to @caitylovesjames for tagging us in this great shot) I was lamenting CityCenter’s prices while admiring their style:
Turns out they got something I can afford – free putt putt!! Sweet. The course from City Golf is set up at 10th and I Street, NW across from Momofuku. You can register for a tournament Thursday here. Otherwise the course will remain open until July 2nd. Hours are 11am – 7pm. When I passed it on Saturday there was only one other group playing.

Thanks to all who emailed. Amanda reports:
“It appears that the 19th street wave of closures has spilled over to K st. Cities (formally LOOK, the rumored Icelandic restaurant) has closed. Cities was located on K st NW in between 19th and 20th st.”
Cities’ website is still active so we’ll see if this is a refresh or if a new restaurant is coming. Since their phone number is disconnected and they haven’t tweeted since March 14th I’d guess that latter. Stay tuned.

Thanks to a tipster for sending word of Compass Coffee’s next location – 800 17th Street, NW:
Compass Coffee recently celebrated being open 1000 days. A couple weeks ago we also learned they were coming to 14th and I St, NW as well. They’re already open at 18th and I St, NW. As for this most recent location coming to 800 17th Street, NW – it’s interesting to note that La Colombe recently opened around the corner in late February.

Well this is some exciting news from Arepa Zone owner Gabriela Febres about the former Chix location on 14th:
“Arepa Zone will be taking over the 14th Street location” (more…)
Thanks to all who messaged us. Sarah writes: “another one bites the dust on 19th between M & L. Maso salad/sandwich shop, which i really liked!”
MASO Life + Flavor opened in the former Nature’s Table space back in 2015. Stay tuned.

Will you make up your god danged mind 19th Street?!?!? Protein Bar closed here in March 2016. [Cafe Carvy closed across the street on Friday.] Well, now one of my finest falafel sources [s/he has a 98% accuracy rating] tells me that a Naf Naf Grill is probably taking over the space. Naf Naf’s website says:
“Naf Naf Grill is the premium destination for fresh, authentic Middle Eastern food. Oven baked pitas, hand cut salads, and freshly prepared sauces all served as an accompaniment to award-winning shawarma and falafel.”
Check out their menu here and STAY TUNED.
