From MPD:
“On 5/12/19 at approximately 4:20pm a citizen was walking in the 900 block of First Street NW, when he was approached by an unknown subject. That subject stabbed the individual in the leg without provocation and fled the scene. A lookout was broadcast over the police radio and moments later members of the First District Crime Suppression Team stopped a subject matching the description given. The victim positively identified the subject as the person who stabbed him. The subject was placed under arrest without further incident.”

“The Carving Room in NoMa looks like it’ll open soon! Interior decor looks awesome. Admittedly I’m less excited now than when they announced in 2017 since we now have actual options nearby (Red Bear, The Eleanor, Streets Market, etc.) but I’ll definitely welcome CR to the neighborhood.”
Sneak a peek inside, looks awesome: (more…)

From Laos in Town:
“Restaurateur Nick Ongsangkoon grew up in Bangkok, entranced by the spicy and authentic flavors of the charcoal chicken and papaya salad offered by the Laotian street food vendors who traveled to the city. As a child, he often visited the North Eastern Thailand region, and crossed the bridge over the Mekong River to Laos, which has a shared food culture. Nick immigrated to Virginia as a teen. After attending UCLA, Nick returned to the DC area to try his hand in the restaurant business; most recently as co-owner of Soi 38 on L Street NW.
Chef Ben Tiatasin, also a Bangkok native, began her career in the business world, but followed her passion to the beloved Bangkok Golden, known for its Laotian dishes, where she was at the helm of the front of the house. She then moved on to Thip Khao, as manager, where she fell in love with the art of cooking Laotian cuisine. After this experience, she took on a role as chef at Esaan in Mclean Va.
Now Chef Ben and Nick have joined forces, recently taking an extensive research and development trip to the different regions of Laos, laying the groundwork for Laos In Town. While in Laos, she learned from local chefs to enhance her technique and expertise in Laotian cuisine.

Awesome. Thanks to Gaurav for sending last week. Given the love for their spot at 3rd and K Street, NE – this should do very well at Union Market. Anyone happen to know if they’ve opened yet?
Ed. Note: See your list of Best Indian Restaurants here.
Boom! That was fast. Thanks to George for sending: “Just opened up today per the staff”
