“Dear PoPville,

I found a gold ring with large stone on NY Ave NW between 9th and 10th, I stuck around for a few minutes but no one came looking for it so I panic decided to pick it up and let you know. Fingers crossed it’s someone local that knows to ping you!”

Kosher Food and Drink reported on Tuesday:

“According to the DC Kosher rav hamachshir for Shouk, the restaurant has permanently closed both locations (Rockville, MD and Washington, DC) as of 8:30PM this evening.”

Updates when we learn what becomes of the K Street location. There was a time…
