Luke’s Georgetown location at 1211 Potomac Street, NW

From an email:

While we’re adamant that lobster rolls are a year round, every day food, we wanted to introduce some limited time, celebratory winter options for those who like something hotter/heartier when the weather gets cold.

Lobster Grilled Cheese: chunks of our Maine lobster sandwiched with rich gruyere cheese on Maine-made buttery organic white bread.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup & Butternut Squash Soup: these two winter classics warm the innards with their rich texture and hearty vegetables; they fit the bill for vegetarians, and they’re gluten free!

Apple Cider: Red Jacket Orchards cider served piping hot for only $2 a cup.

Maine Winter Beers: At Luke’s Penn Quarter location (and soon Bethesda) we’re serving Peak Organic Winter, a toasty winter wheat, and Shipyard Prelude, a nutty English-style brown.

Luke’s has DC locations in Georgetown and Penn Quarter (624 E St, NW.)

Back in July I shared some scuttlebutt that a Shake Shack would be coming to the Spy Museum cafe at the corner of 9th and F Street, NW. Shake Shack has now applied for a liquor license with the hours of 11am-11pm:

“A restaurant serving American cuisine specializing in burgers and shakes with a seating capacity of 58 and total occupancy load of 126. Request a sidewalk cafe with a seating capacity of 44.”

And a little more scuttlebutt for ya – I hear they are looking at a location for another new spot in Georgetown as well. Stay tuned. We judged Shake Shack’s Dupont location back in Sept. 2011.



3279 M Street, NW

From a press release:

Located conveniently nearby Georgetown University, this newest location offers a wide variety of new, used, and vintage fashion from high-end designer pieces to everyday apparel. Formerly the retro clothing store, Annie Creamcheese, the new 2,047 square foot basement location celebrates the company’s history, highlighting oversized prints of old black and white newspaper ad images against a mid-century color palette. The company focuses on quality, trending merchandise, and nearly all of their merchandise is unique to their inventory, lending to a fun-filled shopping experience that is often more akin to a treasure hunt.

Buffalo Exchange opened their first location in Logan Circle at 1318 14th St, NW back in June.



3000 K Street NW at the Washington Harbour

Farmers Fishers Bakers will open at 11:30AM on Friday, November 9th. Check out their menus here. To say the space turned out great is a tremendous understatement. This is one of the nicest looking new restaurants I’ve seen in a while. The details are phenomenal. Have a look:

Lots more photos after the jump. (more…)



1028 19th Street, NW

We first heard Boston based Boloco burritos was coming to DC back in Nov. 2011. Now they’re about ready to open. I’m told they should open at 1028 19th St, NW between L and K Streets late this week or early next week. You can see their menu here.

And a nice piece of scuttlebutt as well – I hear they’re finalizing a second space in Georgetown too. Looks like they did a great job on the buildout:
