From a press release:

“Luke’s Lobster, a Maine lobster roll company that’s become a fast favorite in DC (as well as New York
and Philly), is about to bring even more Maine to its Georgetown shack. Starting August 23rd (the shack’s first birthday), Luke’s will offer a “Maine Market” shopping experience alongside its legendary seafood, chowders, and Maine Root drinks. Home cooks rejoice: the live and cooked seafood you have been asking for is finally for sale. Luke’s will be offering a pre-order program for live lobster pickups every Tuesday and Friday, and will have a limited number of lobsters available for same-day sale as well. They’ll be retailing the exact same cooked lobster meat by the pound that they put in their own rolls, 7 days a week. They’ll also stock frozen lobster tails that cooks can quickly thaw and throw on the grill, under the broiler, or into their favorite recipe.

Luke’s will only sell sustainable Maine lobster prepared by its own dedicated seafood company in Saco, Maine. To help you channel your inner chef, Luke’s will give away postcards with recipes from some of the best chefs in Maine, and it won’t hurt to take home a jar of Luke’s signature secret seasoning mix, either.”

Back in Dec. 2012 we learned Eno Wine Bar was opening up next to the Four Season’s Hotel at 2810 Pennsylvania Ave, NW. A press release updates us with a planned September opening:

“ENO, a new neighborhood wine bar with a focus on exceptional wines in an approachable setting is slated for a September opening at 2800 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW in Georgetown. With five locations, including two in Chicago, one each in San Francisco, San Diego, and Half Moon Bay, CA, ENO Georgetown will mark the company’s sixth wine bar, and first foray on the East Coast, offering guests a curated selection of wines by the glass, bottle and flight, as well as handcrafted cheeses, charcuterie and chocolates from artisanal producers.

Known for its amenable approach as well as its warm and inviting design, ENO’s opening list will offer hundreds of selections from both the Old World and New World; approximately half of the bottles will be priced under $50. The wine bar will also feature 50 wines by the glass, eight on tap, with prices starting at $9. (more…)

Another Rabies Alert for Georgetown

By Prince Of Petworth

From DC Department of Health via MPD:

“Recently, a lactating female raccoon was determined rabid on 34th and R St. NW and ten days later, a second lactating raccoon mother was found about 3 blocks from original sighting 10 days later. Lab results came today July 29. There is the possibility her young may be infected with the virus.

The main message here is prevention and caution on approaching any suspicious animals including loose cats and dogs. For the pet owners, allowing cats and dogs to run at large in the woods is risky due to possible exposure to Rabies and Lyme disease, both of which can be transmitted to humans.”
