Pie Sisters via piesisters.com
Dear PoPville,
From the annals of Not a Surprise: I stopped in to Pie Sisters this evening, and the place was filled with camera equipment. They’re apparently shooting a pilot (or rather, a reel, with which I guess they will try to get a pilot — I don’t know how these things work). Despite my distaste for the concept of opening a business to get a reality tv show, they do make delicious pies. The key lime is amazing, but it’s really the exceptional crust that makes them so good.
Pie Sisters is located in Georgetown at 3421 M St, NW. You can see their menu here.

A couple days ago we learned that Crepe Amour was closing their 3291 M Street, NW location but still launching a food truck in April. EaterDC found out the new tenant – Spike Mendelsohn’s Good Stuff Eatery. Eater notes that the Wing place upstairs will be included and that they are aiming for a Dec. opening for the Georgetown location. You can see their menu here. Any fans of the Capitol Hill (303 Pennsylvania Ave. SE) location?

From the Georgetown BID:
“ Crepe Amour is saying goodbye to its current 15 year Georgetown location (3291 M Street) on Saturday, March 31. While scouting for new locations in Georgetown, Crepe Amour will be moving to the Vienna/Tysons Corner area and is excited to launch their highly anticipated food truck & cart concept – Crepe Love – in April 2012.”

From Sprinkles:
“Sprinkles Cupcakes, the world’s first cupcakes-only bakery, announced today that patrons of the Georgetown location (3015 M Street, NW) will receive one free cupcake per person on Thursday, March 22 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. to celebrate the bakery’s one year anniversary.”
Georgetown Falafel & Koshary is coming to 3205 Prospect Street, NW in the former Prince Cafe space just west of Wisconsin. While, I love falafel, I wasn’t familiar with koshary – Saveur magazine has a recipe and defines it as:
“The ultimate Egyptian street food, this rib-sticking dish consists of two pastas, two pulses, fried onions for a crunchy contrast, and a spiced tomato sauce that ties it all together.”
Anyone ever taste koshary before? I can’t wait to have a taste!
