Rejoice! Eater DC reports:
He’s [Barry Koslow] partnering with the guys from the Roadside Food Project and aims to serve your typical deli options — corned beef, pastrami (both house-made), matzo ball soup pickled fish — but they’re also going to be boozing it up with craft cocktails, beer and wine.
Looks like the Deli is coming to the former Cafe Mio space at 1317 Connecticut Ave, NW. This was the location that was going to become a Go Burger but that fell through in Feb. ’11.
Best news for DC since we got a baseball team back?

UPDATE: Just got a press release with lots more info:
DGS Delicatessen opening in Dupont Circle Spring 2012.
Acclaimed DC Chef Barry Koslow– recently named DC’s best Jewish chef by Forward Magazine– will launch a craft Jewish delicatessen in partnership with Roadside Food Projects in late Spring/early Summer 2012. The menu will evoke nostalgia for the classic delicatessen while elevating the experience with house-cured meats and fish and bread, bagels and bialys by Mark Furstenburg. DGS Delicatessen will be located at 1317 Connecticut Avenue, just south of Dupont Circle, with approximately 80 seats inside the restaurant, a patio and a to-go market featuring select items from the menu. The bar will offer a curated beverage program featuring a smart beer and wine list and old-world vodkas.
