14th and Irving Street, NW
I’ve been getting tons of inquiries asking for updates on the coming Columbia Heights Wawa. I’m told that building permits have finally been issued and “hard construction” begins after the holidays. If all goes according to plan they should be open by May 1st.
And thanks to Eric Kmetz for passing on word about the Georgetown Wawa: (more…)

From an email:
“I recently opened up a specialty coffee shop on Wisconsin Avenue (Corridor Coffee). We took over the existing The Bean Counter and did an entire redesign / rebrand. We source our coffee from Counter Culture Coffee and our pastries are delivered fresh every morning from Hawthorne Fine Pastries. We’re super excited to meet our local D.C. community!

Thanks to all who emailed about the Georgetown Wawa coming soon signage after seeing this morning’s post on the one coming to Adams Morgan. Georgetown looks to be opening any day now. The takeover is real. Wawa opened their first D.C. location on 19th Street way back on December 14th 2017. Blessed be his name. Stay tuned for an exact opening date as soon as we know it.
Ed. Note: Progress seems to be slow going for the Columbia Heights Wawa but updates when we learn more about the timing their too.

3401 Water Street, NW. “The Popal Group will replace Malmaison with sausage and beer hall The Berliner this November”
From a press release:
“This November, The Berliner (3401 Water Street NW), a new scratch-made wurst and beer garden opens near the Georgetown waterfront in the space formerly occupied by neighborhood mainstay Malmaison. The Berliner is the latest concept from D.C.-based The Popal Group, the family-run restaurant group behind Cafe Bonaparte, Lapis Bistro (a recent Bib Gourmand honoree), Lapop, and the former Napoleon Bistro.
Inspired by family ties and modern Berlin comfort food, the menu includes Bavarian classics such as bratwurst, schnitzel and homemade pretzels with beer cheese, in addition to modern fare such as doner kebabs and falafel. The Berliner will also feature 24 beers on tap with a variety of domestic, international and seasonal brews ranging from larger producers to to smaller German breweries rarely found on U.S. menus.

God damn it.
Thanks, I think, to a reader for sending from “Georgetown. By the time I got my phone out, this little guy had moved off the food. Our area restaurants need to do better. The door to this case was left wide open, so he/she was able to just curry right in.”

Thanks to Eric for the heads up: “FYI fresh baguette on Wisconsin will open on Thursday.”
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…)
