Thanks to Beth for sending:

“I just came across a new bakery on Connecticut Ave near Farragut (1130 Connecticut Ave., NW). They mostly sell pies and cakes, whole and by the slice, but there were also some other baked goods (brownies, blondies, macaroons, cupcakes). The piece of sweet potato pie I got was excellent.”

740 15th Street, NW Ed. Note: I can’t believe Members Only jackets are back in style.

Normally I don’t post the Friday after Thanksgiving but Union Trust news cannot wait. Plus I went down like 12 times to get these photos hahaha. Well the goofy bastards behind Solly’s and The Pug (and Brookland’s Finest) have done it again. Only classier this time. Peek inside and check it out for yourself on Monday:

More photos after the jump. (more…)

Whew

I coulda sworn they’ve been open for ages here but why waste an opportunity to once again reaffirm the genius Onion article “Continued Existence Of Edible Arrangements Disproves Central Tenets Of Capitalism”

Cucina Al Volo Pizzeria coming to former Black Iron space on E Street

By Prince Of Petworth

Union Market, Adams Morgan, Cleveland Park and now Downtown too! The pizzeria is coming to the briefly open Black Iron space around 13th and E St, NW around the corner from the Warner Theatre. Side note: Can anyone explain why this building has a Pennsylvania Ave address when it is located on E Street?

City Paper reports:

“Cucina Al Volo Pizzeria will serve Roman-style “al taglio” pizza. It’s sold in Italy in giant squares by the pound and is most similar to thick, Sicilian-style pie.”

Standby for opening dates for here and Cleveland Park.


Technically 1299 Pennsylvania Ave, NW but entrance actually on E Street
