Cafe La Ruche is located at 1039 31st Street, NW in Georgetown. Place looks super cool from the outside, I’m wondering if it’s just as good inside? They’re doing a bit of work on their Web site but you can still see some of their menus here.
Any fans?
This home is located at 2318 King Place, NW:
The flier says:
“The superb renovation of this 1923 Sears Arts and Crafts bungalow transformed it into a near 6,000 SF home meeting all of today’s standards. The home features 6 Bdms, 4 1/2 Baths, a 500 SF Kitchen equipped with the most sophisticated appliances and a luxurious sunken Living Room with an impressive rear wall of glass letting in the most glorious views. This home is the ultimate in easy, elegant living.”
You can find more info here and photos here.
While I’m sad there’s not a proper virtual tour, the photos shown are still pretty sweet. How does this house rank among other house porn we’ve looked at? Is this the mother of all bungalows? It’s yours for $2,950,000.
In the beginning of the week we learned that Georgetown’s new Apple Store was opening today at 1229 Wisconsin Ave, NW. Thanks to Nestor for sending some cell pics of the crazy line.
This rental is located at 2500 Q St, NW:
The Craigslist ad says:

Georgetown Wing Co. has opened at 3291 M Street NW upstairs from Crepe Amour.
And I feel like I’ve seen this sign for a while so I wonder if Georgetown Scoops is still coming to 2818 Wisconsin Ave, NW.
The last few times I’ve walked past the Philadelphia Water Ice at 2620 Georgia Ave, NW it has been closed. Since their phone is disconnected I’m assuming this as permanent. Anyone know when they closed?

I know lots of folks have been waiting for this day. The new store will be located at 1229 Wisconsin Ave, NW and will be open Friday from 5pm – 9pm. Regular store hours will be:
Mon – Sat:
10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Sun:
11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
While it remains business as usual for some, many others can soon rejoice. From an email:
“In celebration of our new store, current Mac owners can buy a One to One membership, normally available only with the purchase of a new Mac. Plus, the first 1000 customers get a free commemorative T-shirt.”
Thanks to a reader for the heads up about the new signage at Dodge City at 917 U St, NW.
And a second hand clothing store (though there will be some new items as well) is opening up at 3531 14th St, NW. This is the storefront that was going to house the Guatemala Bakery.
The coming soon sign for UGG is at 1249 Wisconsin Ave, NW.
I noticed a bit of an Italian Restaurant Row on 31 Street in Georgetown. Ristorante Piccolo is located at 1068 31st St NW.
Paper Moon is located across the street at 1069 31st Street NW. You can see their menu here.
Il Canale (warning music plays on their Web site) is located down the block at 1063 31st Street, NW.
So out of the three – which is the best? Any must order dishes? Any idea why they all congregated on 31st Street?
This is a pretty wild one. I think it’s on 31st Street, NW just south of M. I think this one looks great. Do you think the modern style fits in with old school Georgetown?
Petworth’s Safeway on Georgia Ave (3830 Georgia Ave, NW)
Georgetown’s new Safeway on Wisconsin Ave (1855 Wisconsin Ave, NW)
While I’m very happy with the YES! Organic Market a bit further up the block at Georgia and Taylor, I find it pretty appalling to compare the Petworth Safeway to the Georgetown Safeway. I understand that Georgetown residents have a lot of money to spend so obviously they are going to get a nice store but Petworth residents were told time and time again that this relic on Georgia Ave was going to be upgraded. Whenever I ask Mayor Fenty or Council Member Bowser they say, plans are still in the works. But Lord – how long must we wait. Quite frankly I just don’t like all the bullshit. If they’re not going to upgrade the Georgia Ave Safeway then just say so. Be honest with us, we can take it. I’ve heard lots of rumors as to why the Safeway upgrade has stalled. Some blame residents, some blame Safeway, some blame funding/tax break issues. But are we not entitled to an honest answer?
So once and for all – should the Georgia Ave Safeway be upgraded? If so, what is the responsibility of Safeway, our elected leaders and/or the residents to make sure this happens. I believe that Mt. Vernon Square (City Vista), Adams Morgan, Georgetown, Navy Yard (SW Waterfront) all have new or upgraded stores. Besides Petworth what other neighborhoods do you think are due for an upgrade?
I can tell you when I walked into the Georgia Ave store this weekend I was hit with a foul odor. When I walked into the Wisconsin Ave store, I could swear that the aisles were paved with gold. Not to speak for all but I’d be happy with half as nice an upgrade in Petworth.
