From a press release:
“The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (Board) suspended Heritage India/The Zanzibar’s liquor license today as the result of an incident that occurred at the establishment on Saturday, Jan. 3 where a patron was stabbed.
The Board found that the establishment—located at 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW—presents an imminent danger to the health and safety of the public. As a result of the Board’s decision, Heritage India/The Zanzibar is prohibited from selling and serving alcoholic beverages. The Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) provided the establishment with a formal notice this evening informing them of the suspension.
The Board made its decision after reviewing a thorough investigation conducted by ABRA of the incident. Heritage India/The Zanzibar has remained closed since 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 3 under the authority of Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy L. Lanier.”
Ed. Note: Heritage India’s former Dupont location was the scene of a shooting on Nov. 27th 2011.

Back in July we learned that Claudia’s Steakhouse was coming to the former American Express space at 15th and K Street downtown. Just noticed the coming soon signs – reminds me a bit of STK coming soon signs from Dupont…

Former Clement’s, Grafix Tattoos and Italian Kitchen and apparently Ollie’s Trolley. Future Armenian Genocide Museum? And a great history of the National Bank of Washington building – in the meantime I thought this was cool:

Coming soon signage is now posted for a new Walgreens at the former Guess space on the corner of 12th and F St, NW. Looks like it’ll be pretty massive. Washington Business Journal reported:
