From YELLOW:
“Starting Tuesday, April 14, we’ll be moving to an all-day counter service model at YELLOW Georgetown. Tuesday through Saturday, we’ll be open straight through from 8AM to 8PM for an uninterrupted day of all your favorite hand-crafted pastries, mezze + pita sandwiches, and coffee with no more mid-day closure. That means starting mid-April, gone are the days of clearing out the cafe at 3:00 – instead, we’ll continue to offer that same buzzy vibe of hospitality-oriented counter service and more of what’s at the core of YELLOW. Sunday and Monday will maintain the same 8AM to 3PM schedule.
Now, the “bad” news – this change does mean that our (not) Pizza pop-up is coming to an end at YELLOW Georgetown after service on April 11. But, (more…)

ICYMI: Last week, All Purpose Riverfront Still Closed in Navy Yard. Reopening Soon?
UPDATE: A rep from All Purpose writes me, “It’s been a great eight years at that space, but All Purpose Hospitality Group has decided to focus efforts on the original All-Purpose location in Shaw and AP Pizza Shop in Bethesda, along with an Aventino coming to IAD this fall.”

Ed. Note: Salvimex only opened here in March 2025.
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you might be able to crowdsource a solution to the mystery of this establishment on Park Road NW. It’s clearly been closed for months and looks abandoned, yet Yelp still says it is “open.” It’s disappointing because Mi Cuba Cafe was replaced with this eyesore.”
It’s definitely closed and has been for weeks. (more…)
