“Dear PoPville,
I saw the news a couple months ago about a number (8?) of Taylor Gourmet locations opening under new ownership. Just this morning a friend posted to Instagram about a new one in her building in Dupont, and I think the old one by the White House and one in North Bethesda are back open but I’m not sure. Do you have any intel on the locations that will reopen under the original name?
Early thoughts from readers on how faithful it is to the original would be interesting too.“

Thanks to Alex for sending news about Saxbys closing in Dupont (1309 19th Street, NW) after today’s service.
Saxbys closed their downtown location back in 2016. Updates when we learn what becomes of the Dupont space. For Dupont folks, Philz will probably scratch that itch.
