1200 19th Street, NW
Back in March we learned that Chang Chang was coming to former Mai Thai space on 19th Street, NW.
“Chef Peter Chang and his daughter Lydia Chang announce Chang Chang, a new dual restaurant concept coming to the Dupont Circle neighborhood of downtown Washington D.C this fall. The two-in-one restaurant will feature parallel dine-in and carryout services, which will function as fully separate entities, with little to no menu overlap between them.” (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I live in Dupont off 17th street and for WEEKS there has been an unidentifiable loud squeaking noise [video/sound of noise after jump] (like a metal fan in need of wd-40 or a squeaky wheel on a shopping cart) somehow nothing has been done about it and I am unable to discern what direction it is coming from so I’m unable to find whoever or whatever is responsible.

From an email:

“Dear PoPville,
On 8/24 at 4 pm, I was doored by a parked Zipcar user while riding west on R just before 20th St. near Dupont, breaking my clavicle and generally making life terrible. I know it was a while ago, but did anyone witness it?”
Witnesses can DM OP here.
“Dear PoPville,
Any tips on what is going on with Little Serow? Just went to their website and it looks like they are “on hiatus” with no further explanation….please lord don’t let them be closing. This is some of the best food in DC.” (more…)

Update from Twitter: “Believe it is going to be the Dupont location of Brine, the oyster bar on H St.”
I walked by last weekend and the space was getting completely cleaned up. In December 2021, before the invasion of Ukraine, we heard “Here’s what’s up (we, Brine Oyster Bar, share the same owners as Russia House!):
Most RH staff relocated during the pandemic, so they’ve been restaffing up and almost there! RH completed an entire remodel including a new bar, kitchen, bathrooms, & decor, & shooting to open early January!”
Then we heard from owner Aaron McGovern in April 2022: “To date we’ve experienced nearly 20K in property damage and an undetermined financial loss of business because of these circumstances. Russia House’s future is uncertain and we still have faith that it will one day provide DC with another 20 years of amazing experiences.”
Still no sighting of the sacred Sakharov sculpture in storage: (more…)
