1864 Columbia Road, NW

I’ve been getting lots of emails from folks asking for updates on the Streets Market coming to the old Metro K space. I’m told they are just waiting on a construction permit but they are definitely still coming. If all goes well they should open in the fourth quarter of 2019.


22nd and N Street, NW

Also the Streets coming to the West End is on track to open in the third quarter of this year.

Updates as we get exact opening dates at both locations.

Ed. Note: Wait, are those palm trees? What are those?

Thanks to John for sending:

“I’ve always told myself I should live where palm trees grow. West End is getting tropical and it’s not just the humidity. Also that Streets Market in the background is supposed to be opening soon.”

Ed. Note: Wait, I didn’t even know a Street Market was coming here?!? Stay tuned for another one coming to Adams Morgan too.
