“Green Almond Pantry (in the old Seasonal Pantry spot on 9th St) looks closer to opening! They have merchandise and a cute sign displayed in the window. We were over at Sushi Capitol on Saturday and the folks there said that Green Almond is in the process of doing menu-testing and expects to open “soon.”
STAY TUNED for an exact opening date.

And I support this trend 100%! Yesterday was Coldstone Creamery and today we got another Nicecream. They opened their first D.C. location in Adams Morgan back in July.
Fromscuttlebutt back in March to open in Shaw. They’re located right next to Bonobos in the Shay.
Anyone try out the Adams Morgan spot? What’s the word?
“Dear PoPville,

From a press release:
“Lincoln Congregational Temple, founded in 1868 and on the eve of its 150th Anniversary, voted on Sunday August 5th to dissolve, owing to dwindling finances, low membership, limited member resources and engagement, changes within the surrounding community, and an undetermined mission and ministry.

Thanks to Craig and Daniel for sending:
“The broccoli bar has ampersand pizza signage up as of this evening”
On Tuesday we learned:
“Establishment is a fast, casual pizzeria tavern with a Total Occupancy Load of 106 and seating for 83.”
I still don’t get the name but hell, it’s memorable. Updates as they get closer to opening in the former Uprising Muffin space outside the Shaw metro.
1817 7th Street, NW
This is curious, the liquor license placard at the former Uprising Muffin space in Shaw says:
“Licensee requests to transfer license from 705 H Street, N.W. to a new location at 1817 7 Street, N.W. Licensee is also requesting a Class Change from Retailer C Restaurant to Retailer Class C Tavern, to add a Summer Garden Endorsement with 30 seats, and to change the hours of live entertainment inside the premises. Establishment is a fast, casual pizzeria tavern with a Total Occupancy Load of 106 and seating for 83. **Proposed new trade name is Broccoli Bar.”
A lot to unpack here. So does the license transfer mean the &pizza in Chinatown at 705 H St, NW is closing or just not serving beer/wine anymore? And what’s up with the name Broccoli Bar?
STAY TUNED.
