In August Thai Chef briefly closed for renovations. Now even more changes:
Hold up, bubble waffle?!?!? I’m listening… Anyone ever try one? Is it as delicious as it sounds?

John reports last night: “Bandit Taco is doing a soft open; just grabbed a couple of tacos and…two thumbs up. Big changes in the space.”

Prince of Westend and many others asked:
“intense policy activity this morning starting at 18/Florida all the way down to Dupont circle. Including a chopper. Anyone know what’s up?”
I gotta get better at this – of course it was the National Prayer Breakfast at the Hilton!!
Will be heading over shortly to make remarks at The National Prayer Breakfast in Washington. Great religious and political leaders, and many friends, including T.V. producer Mark Burnett of our wonderful 14 season Apprentice triumph, will be there. Looking forward to seeing all!

From a press release:
“Can the Resistance rise from the Underground? And who will lead them if they can? D.C. theater company, TBD Immersive, kicks off its production of “Cabaret Rising: One Nation Underground” this Friday, February 9 at Dupont Underground. The restored space that lies beneath Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle will be transformed into a one-of-a-kind immersive theater where the decisions from the actors – and the guests – impact every aspect the show. “Cabaret Rising” ticket holders will experience a 360-degree sensory explosion of interacting with theatrical story lines while being immersed in a historic underground space. They will also have access to food and beverage specials at neighboring Dupont restaurants, Urbana and Firefly.
Dupont Circle: The Safe Haven
“Cabaret Rising: One Nation Underground” transports guests into a world where survivors are part of ‘The Resistance’ movement. They have retreated to the only remaining safe haven: Dupont Underground. (more…)

Thanks to all who emailed about the sad DGS news from City Paper:
“Fill up on pastrami sandwiches and matzo brei at one of D.C.’s last remaining Jewish delis now because co-owner cousins Nick and David Wiseman are closing up shop on Feb. 11.”
DGS Deli opened up back in 2012. Little Sesame opened up in the basement in January 2016. DGS is located across the street from The Chickery who recently flew the coop and down the block from Red Apron Burger Bar which closed last September.
Ed. Note: Fortunately, while a bit of a schlep, the best classic pastrami sandwich remains available at Parkway Deli in Silver Spring. Like Petworth’s borders I will not budge on this proclamation.
1300 Connecticut Ave, NW
Thanks to Eric for sending word that The Chickery has been papered over. They opened up back in December 2015 in the former Black and Orange burger spot (formerly Rogue States). Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

A Previous uptick captured by Eric P.
Lots of reports of early morning helicopters in Dupont/Adams Morgan/16th Street. Anyone happen to know the deal?
Per usual I’m going with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
However, I can preemptively answer tonight’s queries from Joint Base Myer – Henderson Hall:
“There will be 15 United States Air Force Huey helicopters landing and taking off multiple times between 6:25 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Fort McNair Thursday January 25 for an exercise.”
