Well before the Holodomor Memorial was Taras Shevchenko:
“a Ukrainian poet, writer, artist, public and political figure, as well as folklorist and ethnographer. His literary heritage is regarded to be the foundation of modern Ukrainian literature and, to a large extent, the modern Ukrainian language. Shevchenko is also known for many masterpieces as a painter and an illustrator.”

Last Monday we learned that “rare bourbons” was coming to the 2nd floor of the former Bertucci’s space on Connecticut Ave across from Shake Shack. We heard some scuttlebutt that the downstairs would be taken over by a Cava Grill.
Confirmation from a press release:
“Continuing its largest expansion to date, Cava Grill is thrilled to announce the opening of a new location in the center of Washington, DC’s bustling Dupont Circle neighborhood. One of their most requested and anticipated opening locations, Cava Grill’s Dupont shop will sit at 1220 Connecticut Avenue NW, on the south side of the circle on Connecticut Avenue, perfectly situated between the downtown, DC, 14th Street and Georgetown neighborhoods. The restaurant will be its 15th location and is expected to open in Spring 2016. (more…)
