Thanks to Caitlin for sending: “I leave for 1 week and this pops up. 4 different restaurants in 1.5 years.”
This has been quite a roller coaster from La Frontera Cantina to Ultimo Lounge to Divino Grill. Next up Malbec. Their Facebook page says:
“Argentine Restaurant · Fine Dining Restaurant · Family Style Restaurant”
Check out their menus here.
Perhaps putting our current street chicken issues in context, a reader reports: “Looks like The Chickery is opening today.”

“Dear Popville,
I parked on Q between 18th and 19th Tuesday night around 5:30 and was utterly flummoxed by the “Except 7AM-7PM Tuesday” sign. What does it mean? Is it legal to park there, or illegal? There were other cars on the block before and after 7 p.m. and no one, including myself, was ticketed.”
Hmm I wonder if it’s related to street cleaning but why is it in green…I think the green means it would be legal – this is an odd one.

Tough times continue for Noodles and Company, earlier last month they closed their Woodley Park location and now a reader reports:
“The Noodles spot next to the Grk restaurant on 19th & M Street in South Dupont is closed, they’re moving everything out.”
They opened up the 19th Street location in early 2014. Updates when we learn who takes over the space. This leaves only one Noodles spot left in DC – 1667 K Street, NW.
