8th and H Street, NE

A liquor license application has been posted for Amazon Retail, LLC (almost certainly an Amazon Go):

“A market that will serve hot and cold meals, which includes salads, sandwiches, pizza, sushi, baked goods,and non-alcoholic beverages. The market is requesting a Tasting Permit.”

HOURS OF OPERATION
Sunday through Saturday 7am – 12am”

Ed. Note: I’m also still keeping a close eye on the one coming to 14th Street/Logan Circle.

In March we noted that after many moons of vacancy the old Argonaut space had been listed for sale. Apparently it sold. A new liquor license application for the space says H Street Beverage Warehouse is coming:

“A new Retailer’s Class “A” Liquor Store.Licensee is requesting a Tasting Permit Endorsement.”

The Argonaut abruptly closed back in July 2016. A terribly sad day. Stay tuned.

Yesterday a reader shared word that a crab shack was coming the old Driftwood Kitchen/True Orleans space on H Street, NE. Now a tipster hears that the crab shack will likely be The Boiling Crab:

“It all began in a little Southeastern Texas town called Seadrift. With a population of just 2000, Seadrift was home to Yo’Daddy and his family of crabbers and fishermen. They labored in their boats year-round, catching oysters, crab and shrimp for the seafood industry. As toiling as the work was, every weekend the men would come home with their catch of the week to enjoy­ – they boiled crawfish and crabs, shucked raw oysters, grilled fresh fish – always with a beer in hand.

Thanks to Colleen for sending: “there appears to be a permit and ongoing construction at the old Driftwood Kitchen/True Orleans location at 400 H Street Northeast. Driftwood Kitchen closed on New Year’s Day 2018, and the building has sat empty ever since. Word on H Street is this might be a crab shack restaurant (but don’t know for sure)!” (more…)
