Thanks to a reader for sending word that the Jonathan Adler home decor store has opened in the former former Gap Kids store space at 1267 Wisconsin Ave, NW:
Georgetown
Not the place I’d expect to see such cool murals. From Georgetown.
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.

Thanks to a reader for sending the shot above of the Gant signage at their new store coming to the former Saloun space at 3239 M Street, NW. I peeked in over the weekend and they looked very close to finishing:
When I peeked in you could still see the Saloun vestiges of getting your name on bricks if you donate money to building new schools:

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:
This awesome bench is outside Georgetown Wine and Spirits on P Street. I learned that P Rua is P street in Portuguese. Very cool. The bench has an awesome combination of wood of metal:
Leonidas Chocolate was located at 1531 Wisconsin Ave, NW for 15 years.
Any fans?
3050 K Street, NW
More big Georgetown Waterfront news – Fola Mare looking to open in 2013. From the Post’s Tom Sietsema:
“His passion for surf is inspiring his next restaurant, the 7,500 square foot Fiola Mare, which Trabocchi hopes to launch in Washington Harbour at 3050 K St. NW in fall 2013. Fingers crossed: The chef signed a letter of intent with the landlord, MidAtlantic Realty Partners , two weeks ago.”
We judged Fiola (601 Pennsylvania Ave, NW) to very positive reviews back in Feb. 2012.
