A reader reports:
“New restaurant on the corner of Georgia Avenue and Shepherd is from owners of Heat Da Spot (recent winner of People magazine’s best breakfast in D.C., located at 3213 Georgia Avenue, NW.) I was told that they’ve been renovating it for the past two years and are now nearly done. I have no idea what the cuisine is but will probably be quite similar to Heat Da Spot. It will open after New Year’s.“

From the owners of Each Peach Market and Pear Plum Cafe:
“We are announcing that as of December 24th, 2018, Each Peach will no longer be the operators of Lulabelle’s Sweet Shop, choosing instead to focus on our other businesses in Mt. Pleasant. For the last year, Lulabelle’s has functioned as a collaboration between Emily Friedberg and Jeanlouise Conaway of Each Peach Market and Pear Plum Cafe in Mt. Pleasant and Julie Wineinger, owner of Willow Fashion. Each Peach was running the coffee and ice cream service, as well as all kitchen operations. “We are sad to leave Upshur Street and have loved getting to know a new neighborhood but ultimately, the logistics of having a kitchen offsite from our primary business location has proved to be difficult to manage.”
Lulabelle’s will close on Dec 24th for the Christmas Holiday and to make some adjustments to the space, and will reopen tentatively on January 8th, 2019. (more…)
