This is just crazy. Back in February we broke the news that Mackey’s was moving to Metro Center. I was surprised that not that many people really cared, to be honest. But I know there are a lot of Laughing Man Tavern fans, particularly soccer fans. Oh well. BarredinDC reports:
“A person who answered the phone at Laughing Man confirmed that Mackey’s indeed was moving there.”

This is La Colombe’s 5th District location joining 1140 3rd Street NE (at REI), 1346 Florida Ave NW (at the Manhattan Laundry), 900 6th St NW (in Chinatown) and the OG 924 Rear N St. NW (in Blagden Alley.)
Erin reports this morning: “wanted to give a head’s up that the La Colombe on I Street at Farragut West appears to be open now!”
La Colombe is partnering with The Sweet Lobby to offer a wide range of pastries, breads, and other food items alongside La Colombe’s traditional and inventive coffee options, including the revolutionary Draft Latte©, which is served cold on tap or can be purchased in cans to-go.
The Draft Latte, which is available in original, vanilla, mocha and triple, comes directly from the mind of Todd Carmichael, CEO and Co-Founder La Colombe, who invented the process to create a ready-to-drink, textured coffee beverage with frothed milk, cold-pressed espresso, and no added sugar.
La Colombe works directly with coffee farmers to source the best tasting, most exotic, and rarest beans, and roasts them to accentuate their natural flavors.
La Colombe Farragut Square will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

“Dear PoPville,
I just ran into a former employee in front of the Juice Joint and he told me what had happened.”
From GoFundMe:
“Hi friends!! I’m reaching out for your support.
As many of you may know, I closed my business, Juice Joint Cafe, this past October after 21 years in business. Unfortunately, between declining sales and my health issues, I was unable to sustain the business, which leads me to why I need your support now.
In early March, 2016 i noticed a small lump in my neck. Not having the insurance, time and money to properly evaluate my condition, I just ignored it. (more…)
