Doug tells us: “Rumor: a friend heard from Best Buy employee that the Tenleytown store is closing on Nov 3”
I also hear a rumor that they would be closing “at the end of the month.”
Updates when more is known.
From MPD:
“The Metropolitan Police Department seeks the public’s assistance in locating a vehicle of interest involved in a Hit-and-Run which occurred in the 4400 block of Wisconsin Avenue, NW, on September 5, 2018 at approximately 7:20 PM. The vehicle of interest was captured by a nearby camera.

Following word of Buredo’s closure down the block comes more sad news for fast casual fans, thanks to Geneva for spotting this closure as well. Yobi only opened up here in August 2017 and featured poke and sushi.
Updates when we learn who takes over the space.
More woes of expanding too quickly? Thanks to Geneva and Robert for sending news about the latest victim – Buredo at Wisconsin and Veazey Street, NW, which opened in November 2017. Buredo also closed their H Street, NE location back in August after only being open there for 6 months.

Thanks to Jason for sending:
“any information on Olive Bistro and Cafe coming into the old Bread + Salt location in Tenleytown?”
Tenleytown Main Streets reported:
“The latest entrant into the Tenleytown restaurant scene will offer a Mediterranean-influenced menu, with a strong emphasis on Turkish cuisine.
The new restaurant will offer full-service lunch and dinner during the week, with plans to expand into breakfast on the weekends. A late night bar will serve signature drinks with a Turkish spin, while on the side patio they plan for hookah to be available. And, of course, patrons can enjoy a special blend of freshly brewed Turkish coffee.”

The long vacant Firelake Grill (OG Ruby Tuesday and once planned for Guapo’s and Five Guys) will finally have a new tenant – Surfside!! Eater DC reports:
“Ten years after Surfside first brought its gourmet tacos and margaritas to D.C., restaurateur Bo Blair is ramping up expansion plans by opening at least two more locations next spring.
Blair recently signed a lease for a new Tenleytown spot at 4200 Wisconsin Avenue NW, he tells Eater. Another deal is close to being closed at the Wharf across from the historic Maine Avenue Fish Market.”
In an email Bo shares a few more details with me:
“We are going to do a 24 taco stand, like Dupont. It will be fast casual with no waiter service. We will be serving Margaritas, beers and specialty cocktails. We are shooting for an April 1, 2019 opening. The outdoor patio will be killer.”
Check out their menus here and STAY TUNED.

From BTS’s Facebook on Saturday June 2nd:
“Calling all of our #Tenleytown burger lovers – our location there will be closing permanently after service on Sunday. Stop by for a burger fix! All draft beers $3 all day Sunday too!”
BTS opened here in July 2015. Burger Tap & Shake remains open at 2200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW in Foggy Bottom.
