Ghana Cafe Finally Re-Opens on 14th Street!

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to a reader for the heads up. We’ve been anticipating the opening on 14th Street south of Rhode Island (near the 7-11) for quite a while. I stopped by Tuesday afternoon and the owner let me take some photos and sent me the menus (which may be tweaked a bit including adding more items). He said they are open as of 6:30pm on Tuesday evening and it will sorta be a soft opening. I have to say the space looks great.

There’s even an upstairs.

They also feature beers specially imported from Ghana (apparently the one in the middle really packs a punch).

You can see the menus (including a Vegetarian menu) after the jump. (more…)

Rollin Cycles Moving to 14th Street (Just North of N)

By Prince Of Petworth

About a month ago we speculated on what was coming to the newly renovated building on 14th Street between N and Rhode Island. At the time folks thought a Subway sandwich shop and Korean restaurant were in the works. But I just saw this sign last weekend announcing Rollin Cycles – Coming Soon. Rollin Cycles is currently located just up the block at 1320 14th Street, NW.

A Peek at Construction Progress at 14th and Church Street, NW

By Prince Of Petworth

The signage is still very confusing at the corner of 14th and Church Streets, NW. There is still an application for Cork and Fork on the corner. But there is also a sign for Homemade Pizza that is hiring soon:

When I originally posted a few weeks ago a commenter said that Homemade pizza will actually be a few storefronts down on Church Street. Anyway, I thought the peek into the construction progress was pretty cool:

So either Cork and Fork or Homemade Pizza is starting to look good…

Dear PoP – Ghana Cafe Looking Good and Opening Soon

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoP,

Walked by Ghana Cafe (14th Street just south of Rhode Island Ave.) on Friday and the owners were sitting inside. They invited us in and showed us around the place which is deceptively large. They are ready to open but are waiting on inspectors. As of Friday they were told that final inspection would take place today.”

I walked by today but sadly the owners weren’t inside. I did get a shot of the inside through the window which did indeed look pretty good. I also caught a saxophonist playing outside which was an added bonus…

Sadly, someone had tagged the front window with graffiti. There is no debate about this graffiti, it is horrible and clearly a crime. Well here’s to hoping they passed the final inspection and open soon!

Dear PoP – Cork and Fork no more on 14th Street NW or is it Just Confusing Signage?

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoP,

It appears that Cork and Fork is leaving all the cork-named wine stores to the Cork Market as now the building at 1522 14th St NW has a sign for “Homemade Pizza” and the new location is represented on this Chicago area resto’s website

Thought you be interested if you hadn’t heard! I’m excited to have a pizza option in the neighborhood that delivers (Pete’s doesn’t make it down as far as Logan, sadly.) It’s set to open next month, according to the website.”

I guess with the recent opening of nearby Cork Market (no relation) it makes sense that Cork & Fork would reconsider opening in this spot. You can see Homemade Pizza’s menu here. Anyone ever check out their other locations? Think this is a good spot for a pizza place?

Ed. Note: after this was posted Drewlove comments:

“My friend who lives directly above this location tells me that Homemade Pizza is actually around the corner on Church St and that Cork and Fork will be on the storefront on 14th St.”
