Thanks to a reader for sending word from earlier in the week. Woodland’s Facebook has a couple of photos posted Jan. 25th:

“They could have chosen to eat anywhere, but they chose us. ‪#‎WoodlandsVeganBistro‬ ‪#‎GoVegan‬ ‪#‎NuVeganCafe‬ ‪#‎KayneWest‬ ‪#‎KimK‬ ‪#‎BETHonors2015‬”

Love ’em or hate ’em, it’s pretty cool. Must be something about vegan restaurants attracting the power players – back in October Stevie Wonder visited Evolve Vegan in Takoma.

Side note: New condo next door to Woodland’s is looking good too on the 2900 block of Georgia Avenue, NW:

First we heard about the Ping Pong club and bar opening in February and now more good news for Georgia Ave – Union Drinkery. A liquor license placard posted out front says:

“New neighborhood restaurant/lounge offering light snacks and recorded music. No nude performances. Total Occupancy Load of 97 with seating for 86 inside the premises. Summer Garden with seating for 63.”

Back in August I had heard some scuttlebutt that this could become a high end fried chicken pop up but I’m not sure if that is still a plan but the most recent scuttlebutt I heard about this project – it could be coming from the same folks behind Sundevich in Shaw. Could be BBQ too. Stay tuned…

A Bit More Info on the Ping Pong Element for Colony Club coming to Georgia Ave in February

3118 Georgia Ave, NW

On Monday I was overjoyed to share an update about Colony Club, “coffee shop, bar and ping pong club”, coming to the former Ma Ma’s Southern Cuisine space by Georgia and Kenyon St, NW. I was able to get in touch with the owners who say if all goes well they should be able to open by early February. I was curious about the ping pong aspect and they share:

“We’ll probably just have one indoor table to start (space is tight!). We’re going to have a professional caliber table (probably from Joola) and gear. We’ll have a system for reserving the table, certain times will be open play, and we’ll host tournaments and a league. In keeping with everything we’re doing, we welcome people to take it as seriously (or not) as they want.”

Lots more updates as they get closer to opening.

Colony Club’s website says:

“Colony Club is a neighborhood coffee shop, bar and ping pong club. We strive to provide the highest quality products in a setting that is fun, friendly and approachable for all.

Located on the historic Georgia Ave in Park View, Colony Club tries to capture an old-school vibe and some of the history of the street by paying homage to the family flower shop that operated at Georgia Ave and Farragut in the 1940s-1960s.”

3118 Georgia Ave, NW was the former home to Ma Ma’s Southern Cuisine and Hadiyah Cafe before that. More info as they get closer to opening. If you’ll excuse me I’m going to pass out from joy…
