“Rasika West End is now taking reservations on open table for their March 30th opening!”
Back in Feb. 2011 we learned that Rasika West End would be opening at 1177 22nd St. NW.
The original Rasika is located at 633 D Street, NW.
The Orange Spoon is coming to 1255 23rd St, NW right across the street from West End Cinema. Earlier in the week we learned that a Potbelly’s was coming soon nearby at the intersection of M and New Hampshire Ave, NW.
Sweet Diablo, claiming to have the best chocolate cake in the world, is coming to 19th and M St, NW in the small retail space just west of the Jos A Bank on M Street in southern Dupont. We’ll def. be back for a proper judging to test their claim. Stay tuned!
A Potbelly’s is opening soon in the former liquor store next to Meiwah in West End at the intersection of M and New Hampshire Ave, NW.
Thai Kitchen was located at 2311 M St, NW.
Dear PoPville,
Just walking by this building today and again wondered what the hell is it? It’s at the intersection of 21st and New Hampshire with Ward Place off to the side, next to the Grillfish restaurant. It looks like an apt building, but on closer inspection, the front doors are practically boarded up, with no door knobs. There is no name or address on the building, yet all the windows have matching curtains and there were lights on in what appeared to be a stairwell. Is this another of DC’s “mystery” buildings?
West End Cinema opened up back in Oct. ’10. They are located at 2301 M Street NW. You can see what movies are showing here. Since we often pine for new movie theaters – now that they’ve been around exactly a year – what do you think of West End Cinema? Do you like the films they show? Do you like the fact that you can also buy a beer or glass of wine there? I have to admit – it often falls off my radar – how does it compare to E Street Cinema?
Naked Pizza is coming to 2140 L St, NW (near Bourbon Coffee Cafe.) You can learn more about the pizza from their Web site here. There is a video where:
“Jeff Leach, founder of Naked Pizza, talks about how he formulated a pizza that would address the dysbiosis modern human shares with the microbial world.”
Well alright then…
You can see their menu here. Anyone ever try them before?
2230 O Street, NW Abandoned Apartment Bldg
“Dear PoP,
I was wondering if you or any of your readers could give me any information about this abandoned building on the corners of 22nd and O Streets, NW. It has looked this for about a year. One year ago a Public Notice sign went up, but other than replacing the bricks on the outside of the building about 10 months ago, nothing has changed. In fact, the front has recently been painted white. Have you any information about this eyesore?”
Any rumors or scuttlebutt of what’s going on here?
