Rendering of The Shay at 8th and Florida Ave, NW
Back in May we first heard rumors of a Whole Foods coming to 9th and U St, NW. On twitter @mr_roaming asked:
“Is the @WholeFoods coming to @TheShayDC? #Washington #DC”
@WholeFoods replied:
“@mr_roaming We have a store in development in DC but not sure on the location.”
Now we already know Whole Foods already had announced plans for H Street, NE and Navy Yard. So I’m guessing/hoping the store in development is one not already announced yet? Surely Whole Foods would know the location of a store in development right? So were they being coy? Giving us a hint? Help me dissect this tweet! Does this give greater hope for a Whole Foods around 8th/U St/Florida Ave?

Thanks to a reader for sending word. Grand Cata will be located in the new Jefferson Marketplace building. Hours are listed as Sunday through Saturday 10 am – 10 pm. It’s interesting to note that Grand Cata was originally slated to come to Mt. Vernon Square.

Last week we learned about Mr. P’s health problems (and family’s decision to remove from life support). While I still haven’t heard an official word – it appears the spot at 6th and Rhode Island Ave, NW will not reopen. @lac025 tweets us an update:
“@PoPville Mr. P’s signs have been taken down”
Over the summer we learned that the owners and chef from Mintwood Place in Adams Morgan would be opening a second restaurant at 801 O Street, NW in Shaw. A few readers have sent emails asking for an update, noting no visible construction and that their liquor license placard has been turned around. Emails to the owner for an update have not been returned. Hopefully they’re just raising money but it’s not clear if they’re still on track for a Spring opening. Updates when more info is known.
1209 10th St NW REAR in Blagden Alley
Last week we learned about plans for a Localteria in Blagden Alley. The owner sends me an update via email:
“We opened Localteria today in Blagden Alley, 1209 10th St NW REAR. We don’t have all of the items in yet, but it’s still surprising to see what a variety of foods and beverages our neighbors are making.”
Hours are 11 to 11 and midnight on weekends. And standby for beer and wine when they get a liquor license.
