Thanks to Steve for sending. Looks like that’s all she wrote for the Red Boat as their phone has also been disconnected. They only opened up here back in January 2019. Previously this was home to Micho’s. Updates, as always, when we learn what becomes of the space.

Wild, I had no idea. Thanks to Jason for passing on from Complex:

“Pusha-T is stepping away from the studio for a bit to try his hand in the food industry.

The DAYTONA rapper announced Monday that he’s teaming up with D.C. nightclub owners Wayne Johnson and Tony Perry to open up a ramen and craft cocktail bar called Kitsuen in the nation’s capital. After several setbacks, the high-end spot is set to open on New Year’s Eve in Washington’s burgeoning H Street Corridor.”
