Oh my God. The sable, the salmon – DO NOT sleep on the Salmon BLT – perhaps the best seafood sandwich in all Washington D.C. Neopol Savory Smokery is quite possibly the most under-hyped but best seafood in town. They currently have an outpost in Union Market and when I stopped by the new spot on Saturday they looked about ready to open in Georgetown on Grace Street. Grace Street, by the by, has quietly become a phenomenal little street not to be missed, bookmarked by Chaia Tacos and Dog Tag Bakery on one end and Sundevich and Grace Street Coffee on the other with more good stuff in between. Neopol will fit in on the block quite nicely. (more…)

From a press release:
“Reverie is a New American restaurant now open in Washington, D.C.’s historic Georgetown neighborhood. Executive Chef Johnny Spero will feature an elevated yet accessible menu with global influences, allowing ingredients to shine in minimalist preparations. The 64-seat dining room is outfitted with clean, contemporary décor and features an a la carte menu. Reverie aims to remove the pretense and formality from traditional fine dining and make the entire dining experience more approachable and enjoyable. One of the more unique ways they plan to do this is by offering two “pay-what-you-can” seats that will be available once each night through the restaurant’s reservation page on Tock.

3206 O Street, NW just off Wisconsin
This is a nice score. GTown Bites (formerly The Georgetown Dinette) closed back in July 2017. Pica Taco has other D.C. locations at 1629 Columbia Road, NW and 1406 Florida Ave, NW and is delicious.
If you haven’t tried the new Indian fast casual option at Bharati, today’d be a good day.
This is the former Dolcezza space that closed back in May.

Holy smokes – this insanity was tweeted by DC Fire and EMS Saturday around 2pm:
“This was the scene this morning at Rock Creek Parkway and P St NW after a vehicle went into the creek. #DCsBravest searched the vehicle and adjacent area and found no victims.”
The former After Peacock Room has a new tenant – Lily:
“New C Restaurant serving Western Mediterranean Cuisine. Seating Capacity of 60, Total Occupancy Load of 100, and a Summer Garden with 30 Seats.”
One sec, I’m gonna have to consult a map…
Updates as more is known and they get closer to opening.
3109 M Street, NW
One day I will be lucky enough to explore the world of luxury socks. One day!!
In the meantime, updates when we learn who takes over the space and/or if the percentage off increases.

This is the former SweetFrog frozen yogurt space and Miller & Arney antique shop before them. Thanks to Rachel for sending: “There’s a location in Bethesda and it’s really gooooood!”
Fresh Baguette’s Website says:
“Fresh Baguette is THE authentic French bakery in Bethesda
Our bakery is named after its signature product, the traditional baguette. Our master baker leaves nothing to chance and uses the very best French techniques: a cold dough process that develops unique flavors, homemade “levain” (leaven), and an oven imported from France with a stone based sole for outstanding baking. The result is a baguette that is light, airy, with just the right crunch and doesn’t require a trip to France. And we bake baguettes throughout the day, so you can always get a fresh one.
In addition to our traditional baguette, we offer a wide variety of breads all prepared and baked with the same care: (more…)
