By Prince Of Petworth

Johnny’s opened up in the former Bad Saint space back in 2023. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

You didn’t just support a bar. You gave me proof that the sacrifice meant something.”

By Prince Of Petworth


1201 K Street, NW at the Eaton Hotel

“Michele’s, named after Michelin Starred Chef Baker’s late mother, is inspired by his family connections to Houston and New Orleans, and how they have impacted his approach to cooking, cuisine, and hospitality.
