A reader reports:
“I’m not sure what was going on exactly, but there was some sort of protest at the P street Whole Foods around 1:30pm. All of a sudden people just started chanting near a hummus display in front of the cookies. The police probably arrived in less than 2 minutes and told the protest leader they had to get out of the store, then they marched out single file, yelling their chant, and stood outside. The whole foods staff was pretty great about the incident — the check out lines kept moving….”

Back in June we noted that the former Carry Out Deli would become an Asian Restaurant featuring Thai and Chinese dishes. We’ve got a name now – 14th Cafe and they’ll deliver:

The former Central Union Mission at 14th and R is getting a lot of attention but check out the former parking lot at next door. Like the way ‘The Corcoran at 14th’ apartment building turned out?

From a press release:
“Shinola, known for its Detroit-built watches, bicycles, journals, pet accessories, small leather goods and leather care is excited to announce the upcoming opening of its third nationwide flagship in Washington, D.C. The store will open September 2015 in the 14th Street Corridor at 1631 14th Street NW.
The 5,000-square-foot corner building was originally home to the Studebaker showroom in the 1920s. The store design will stay as true to the original build as possible, keeping the original black and white travertine floor, moulded ceiling and additional details from the era alongside traditional Shinola fixtures. In partnership with Washington Project for the Arts, Shinola will also showcase local artists during quarterly exhibitions in an in-store gallery.
The opening of the D.C. store will mark the brand’s tenth brick-and-mortar location. In addition to stores in Detroit and New York, Shinola has locations in Minneapolis, London, Los Angeles, Chicago, Ann Arbor and Plano. The new D.C. location will replace the temporary shop that opened in November 2014. Filson, Shinola’s sister brand, will take over Shinola’s former space at 1534 14th Street NW.”

Just noticed Veranda is looking to change their alcohol license from Restaurant to Tavern (which I think just means they need to sell less food every month.) But man I haven’t been to Veranda in ages. I used to love this place but to be honest that was before a million spots opened up. Anyone been recently? Anyone eaten there recently? You can see their menu here. Is it still a “hidden” gem?
hahaha this makes me so happy:
“I have no idea who left it. It was only this weekend that I realized under the five dolls on top, there were 10 more under the cloth. All Barbies are doing well in their new foster home, and are looking forward to find places in a forever home after a future display in the pond.”
Thanks to a reader for sending. Pacers recently opened up their new location at 1821 14th Street, NW. Their previous location at 1427 P Street, NW (across from Whole Foods) is set to become a Bluemercury.
