STAY TUNED for an opening date.

Fire struck Fish in the Hood back in April 2017. We’ve been watching eagerly ever since.
NBC Washington now reports:
“He’s making great progress toward a soft opening in just a few weeks with help from the community and a GoFundMe page that raised $8,000, but he needs about the same amount to finish the work and restock the fish case.”
Ed. Note: Now less than $3000 away!!
I peeked in over the weekend and indeed it looks so close: (more…)

Folks talking about the new brunch at Slash Run got me thinking – it’s time to talk the tastiest eats in Petworth circa 2018 (5779). We’ve documented the explosion of the food scene in Petworth over the years and I’m blown away by how many options there are now. So without further ado, and apologies to any that get left off the poll (please voice those in the comments), where’s your favorite food in PoP’s Petworth? The poll is pretty massive so I’m putting it after the jump. (more…)
Thanks to Shubha J for sending:
“new pupuseria coming to Petworth! Georgia between Taylor and Upshur, formerly Cabana Grill.”
Ed. Note: Excellent!!!
Ed. Note too: Cabana Grill only opened up here last November, previously this space was home to the Epiphany BBQ.
Georgia and Upshur Street, NW
Thanks to Tim for sending: “Looks like some keg taps and tables being installed.”
You can see how the outdoor seating used to look here.
So which do you prefer – picnic tables or smaller tables and chairs with backs?
Thanks to Andrew for sending this painful double dosage from Petworth.
Time for a task force?
Ed. Note: It had been 4 days since our last stolen wheels.
