Nice little update on Call Your Mother Jew-ish Deli hoping to open this coming Wednesday or Thursday, knock wood, knock wood, in Park View. Thanks to Jason for sending a shot of the finished mural:
“Marcella Kriebel Art + Illustration in front of her new mural.”
Now let’s cut to the chase and talk turkey pastrami – Check out the menu after the jump. (more…)

I am not a foodie but there are two things my upbringing have made me expert in – pizza and bagels. We covered the great pizza news yesterday, and apparently God is smiling on me because I got some great bagel (and more) news today. After some serious serious anticipation the folks at Timber Pizza are opening Call Your Mother in the the former Alfie’s space next week! To start they’ll be open 7am-2pm Weekdays and 8am-3pm on weekends. In a few weeks they’ll also be launching a super club in the evenings so stay tuned for that. Also stay tuned for an exact opening date next week and the full menu. In the meantime, I got a sneak peek and a sneak taste from Andrew and partner/head chef Daniela Moreira:

Oh and there will be Babka!! And of course a black and white cookie. Ed. Note: I’m normally not a black and white cookie guy but this one is much lighter and tastier than the ones from my youth. Can’t wait to taste some sandwiches too.

Check out some sneak peeks of the inside: (more…)
Thanks to Becca for sending:
“this is on Georgia Ave in park view (Georgia and irving). Do we know what this will be? Looks exciting!”
Anyone take an early taste? Sounds like it might be related to the similarly named spot (Honduran food) on 14th Street?

And around 7:15pm last night a reader reported shots fired on Georgia Ave and Park Road, NW. It does not appear anyone was hit as no police reports were issued.

Ed. Note: They forgot the ‘end’ in North.
“Dear PoPville,
Went by the new “Trellis House” apartment building (Sherman Ave & Barry Place) this morning and saw Bozzuto had put out a bunch of signs, so I looked it up.
“We live where the iconic meets the worldly and style is supported by substance. Find us at the corner of Sherman Avenue and Barry Place, in the heart of the historic and dynamic North Shaw neighborhood.”
North Shaw?? (more…)

Thanks to Nita for sending word about Napoli Pasta Bar, great news for Park View/Pleasant Plains/Columbia Heights!!
“We are excited to recognize Napoli Pasta Bar, which opened in March of this year. The place is a real win for Sherman Ave., and the kitchen delivers serious and authentic Neapolitan fare. The neighborhood-friendly, laid back atmosphere makes for a fine pairing with the wonderfully prepared dishes.”
For those not familiar with the accolade:
“Introduced in 1955, Bib Gourmand restaurants are selected by Michelin’s famously anonymous food inspectors, who choose restaurants serving high quality food on their menus and make it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included).”
Here is the complete Bib Gourmand Selection released yesterday: (more…)

Remember that Jewish deli from the folks at Timber Pizza, well I hear it’s opening next month!! This is the the former Alfie’s space in Park View:
And this is a magnificent bagel and lox so STAY TUNED for an exact opening date:
