Two things I never joke about: Avocados and Trader Joe’s so you know I’m serious…
Thanks to Seth for the exclusive:
“the forthcoming Trader Joe’s in Brookland has Avocados. It’s the first food we’ve seen and bodes well for the estimated mid may opening.”
Stay tuned for a confirmed opening date, well I guess it can take avocados a while to ripen, anyway – STAY TUNED.
5501 14th Street, NW (14th and Kennedy Street, NW) via Moreland’s
A very reasonable request from one of my all time favorite spots – Moreland’s Tavern:
“Made it through the pandemic. Trying to make it through I-82 and the crazy labor cost increases. Now construction has pretty much closed our doors since November. It’s tough out here, support Small Business.”
This place is such a gem, it’s something that every single neighborhood wants – comfortable, good food, good drinks and the BEST hospitality – please help them get through this tough time with all the construction out front. It’s still lovely inside!!
Check out their menu here.
Their hours are: “Monday : Closed (for now)
Tue./Wed./Thurs.: 4pm – 10pm
Friday: 4pm – 11pm
Saturday: 12pm – 11pm
