According to the alcohol application the restaurant will be:
“New Restaurant serving American cuisine with a seating capacity of 24. Total occupancy load of 50. Occasional live music or DJ, no dancing or cover charge, and summer garden with 18 seats.”
The restaurant will be located at 1639 Wisconsin Ave, NW in one of those great row houses that line Wisconsin Ave. I’ll be sure to update when they open and the menu is released.
Mie N Yu is located at 3125 M Street, NW. Their Web site says:
“Executive Chef Tim Miller has a passion for being true to ethnic cuisines from cultures along the ancient Silk Road. After all chef Miller is not only trained in Culinary Arts, but is an Anthropology major as well. Just like the American story, the Silk Road was, and is, a fusion of cultures. For a chef and anthropologist, exploring the cuisines and cultures of the Silk Road represent endless possibilities.
Mie N Yu partners with local farmers to bring the best that the region has to offer in meats, seafood, dairy, and produce.”
You can see their menus here. Any fans?
Looks like this new restaurant is going to take over half of the Bartleby’s Books space at 1132 29th Street, NW. The alcohol application license says:
“Mediterranean style restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner specialties to include homemade pastas, sauces, wood-grilled seafood and meats. No entertainment. Seating capacity is 120. Summer Garden seating capacity is 60. Total occupancy load is 180.”
Well definitely judge them when they open. Any fans of the bookstore?
This’ll be located in the building in the middle of the photo above. You can see the liquor license application taped on, which says:
“New restaurant specializing in French baked goods such as breads, crepes, sandwiches, soups and pastries. Occupancy load is 40.”
Could this be the bakery that so many have been pining for?
Where do you currently go for fresh bread?
Looks like this building had been boarded up for a while:
I’d never heard of Zenobia Lounge (careful loud music plays on Web site) before but went to check it out when I heard they were applying for a liquor license. They are located at 1025 31st, NW. You can see their menu here. There was a nice Middle East vibe going on and the liquor application also says that they have a hookah bar. Adding an alcohol option seems like a natural progression here. Any fans?
Here’s what it looks like on the inside looking at the gift shop towards the dining area:
And here’s the back hookah area:
Arisu was located at 1734 Wisconsin Ave NW. I thought this was a restaurant we judged but I can’t seem to find it. Yelp reviewers gave them fairly high marks. I’ll be sure to update when info becomes available when a new tenant moves in. In the meantime, are there any good places to get Korean in DC?
This home (on left in photo above) is located at 1312 30th St, NW:
The flier says:
“Second Empire Victorian (1868) restored in 2005 sits on a double landscaped and private lot in East Village with 2 car parking. Absolutely bathed in sunlight from large windows on the east, west and south sides of the house. Extraordinary living and entertaining space. 12′ ceilings on entry level, 11′ ceilings on upper floor, Grand entry foyer, mahogany library, renovated eat-in kitchen.”
You can find more info here and a virtual tour here.
I knew when I saw “Second Empire Victorian” this was gonna be good. Actually just walking by it on the street, it’s pretty jaw dropping. What do you think of the inside?
It’s yours for $5,600,000.
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.
