401 H Street, NE
It’s easy to forget with H Street’s status today but when Ethiopic first opened to rave reviews back in 2010 – this was a huge deal and not without obstacles. Huge congrats to Ethiopic (and condolences to the employee):
Hard to believe but here’s what Ethiopic looked like when they first opened seven years ago:
August, 2010
904 H Street, NE
The liquor license placard for Dio says:
“A wine bar that will serve food and alcoholic beverages. Total Occupancy Load of 24 seats.”
Their facebook page says:
“Dio is a natural wine bar with light fare and a hip atmosphere.”
Washington City Paper reported:
“Khoury-Diaz is starting small, literally. Her bar named after Dionysus—the god of wine—is about 900 square feet and will focus on natural wine. The white-hot style of winemaking calls for minimal intervention both out in the field growing the grapes and once the grape juice is being made into wine.”
Updates as they get closer to opening.
Next to the Atlas Theatre – marking this as a win.
Ed. Note: I’m starting a band called He’s a Bad Guy? I’m looking for guitar, keyboard, drums, bass and back up vocalists. Beatboxing ability a +.

From Whole Foods:
“Whole Foods Market will open its sixth location in the District of Columbia – and first store in Northeast – at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15. The community is invited to join store team members and company leaders at 8:45 a.m. for Whole Foods Market’s traditional bread-breaking ceremony. Opening day shoppers will be greeted with door-buster deals and an array of in-store product demonstrations and samples.
“I’m excited to introduce the Whole Foods Market difference to our neighbors who live east of the Capitol,” said store team leader Donovan Morris, referring to the Quality Standards which are applied to every product sold or prepared by Whole Foods Market. “When people understand that every single item on our shelves and sold in our restaurants is free of artificial preservatives, flavors, sweeteners, colors and hydrogenated fats, they can trust that every product is made with only the best ingredients.”

While we’re on the chicken tip, thanks to a reader for sending word about Farmbird.
This is the building where the Starbucks and Unleashed opened across from the soon to open Whole Foods. Farmbird’s Facebook says:
“Farmbird is a grilled chicken restaurant opening in Washington DC in early 2017. We’ve spent years developing the best way to prepare chicken and are incredibly excited to finally share it! At Farmbird, we slow-roast our chicken, grill it to order, then serve it alongside sauces and sides made from scratch daily.”
via facebook
Their website says:
“Our menu items are prepared from scratch daily, using fresh ingredients and classic techniques. No freezers, no fryers, no microwaves. We’re committed to serving only the highest quality, never-frozen chicken. Our birds are raised humanely on an all-vegetarian diet without growth hormones or antibiotics on regional farms in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.”
