Back in March we learned that Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. was closing on Bladensburg Road and moving to a new location. My sources now say that this will be in Shaw!! I give this scuttlebutt an 88% accuracy rating. Stay tuned for their “signature fried chicken” and much more. God willing.
Ed. Note: This is right near Uprising Muffin that, I believe, will soon become an &pizza – stay tuned on that front too.

Back in March I posted some scuttlebutt about a Modcloth possibly coming to Shaw. Thanks to Jason for confirming by spotting some coming soon signage at 8th and Florida Ave, NW in The Shay!! ModCloth’s previous only brick and mortar location is in Austin, Texas. For those not familiar, Modcloth is a clothing store: (more…)
Thanks to Madelyn (and Andrew) for sending last night:
“I passed by Tasty Burger this evening, thought it was weird all the lights were off, then saw this closure notice posted on the door.”
Internet sleuths – find out why please!!

Yesterday we learned that the Uprising Muffin Company was closing their brick and mortar location outside the Shaw metro at the end of the month. I have now learned from a very good source (92% accuracy rating) that an &pizza will be taking over the space. If true – good news or bad news?

Well this stinks. Washingtonian reports:
“Uprising Muffin Company will shut down its Shaw cafe after July 27 and move operations to TasteLab, a food incubator and commercial kitchen space in Brookland, where it will focus on catering and eventually wholesale.”

Thanks to Shana for sending:
“You guys, they are literally taking the sign and lights down already at Town Danceboutique!”
Updates on the space as condo(?) construction commences.

From MPD:
“Earlier this evening, at approximately 6:55pm, members of the Third District responded to the area of 6th and N Streets NW in response to a call for a shooting.

Shawn reported:
“Shots fired in #shawdc 7th & O as I walked by. One bike rider was hit. He was shot in the leg and literally fell off his bike in front of me. Scary shit. Locals immediately called 911 and they were on site in 30 seconds!”
MPD initially reported:
“Alert: Confirmed Shooting at 1855 hrs in the 1200 block of 7th Street, NW. Lookout for B/M, wearing black shirt, long dreads on a bicycle.”

Faster than they thought!!
From a press release:
“A taste of Tuscany will arrive on 9th St. NW in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC, when Chef Massimo Fabbri opens San Lorenzo Ristorante + Bar to the public on Monday, June 25.
Massimo Fabbri takes exceptional pride in presenting his culinary creations, and San Lorenzo — DC’s latest anticipated eatery, is his most personal and passionate endeavor yet, paying homage to Massimo’s family and hometown of Monsummano Terme in the Tuscan region of Italy.
When you step into San Lorenzo you’ll be transported to Italy — from the food and wine, to the cheerful, slightly cheeky attitude and the exquisite space. The menu will feature simple but elegant preparation of fine, fresh ingredients from the Tuscan region; the classic dishes with which Massimo grew up. The warm surroundings will feature layers of rich texture and elements of the Monsummano town crest. (more…)
