“For its November guest chef sandwich, The Red Hen’s Mike Friedman has dreamed up The E Street Special, a mountain of chili braised brisket, crispy bacon, Fontina cheese, sauerkraut and 1000 Island aioli on griddled pumpernickel bread.

“It is with great sadness that we announce that Vastu will be closing soon.
It has been a wonderful 11 1/2 years and we are very sorry to see it end. We simply couldn’t absorb the financial burden caused by increased costs and lowered revenue during last year’s short change in ownership.
During our time on 14th St, we have taken great pride and delight in being invited into your homes and lives, asked to help make them a little more comfortable and stylish, and we cherish the friendships we’ve made along the way. It has been an adventure watching the neighborhood go from a retail wasteland where we needed to bring lunch if we wanted to eat that day to one where there are seemingly endless options for all-day drunken brunches.
Our closing isn’t immediate and we will of course be delivering orders to those of you who still have them outstanding. (more…)

“Satellite Room is hosting “Shaking It Up” for charity tonight featuring neighborhood celebrity bartenders, Seth Hurwitz (9:30 Club), Eric Hilton (Thievery Corporation and half of famed restauranteurs ‘The Hilton Brothers’), Ben Olsen (DC United), and Svetlana Legetic (Brightest Young Things). From 6-9 these four notables will (attempt to) concoct cocktails and pours with a portion of the night’s proceeds benefiting Martha’s Table. The full dinner menu and drink specials will also be available.”

“This dog was found at 9th and U and was brought to CityPaws. No microchip. Female. Appears to be well cared for. If anyone knows who she is, please call CityPaws Animal Hospital at 202-232-7297. We will keep her safe and warm overnight.”

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“Duke’s Shoe Repair has been closed without comment for a couple weeks now. It is the large shoe repair store attached to the Reeve Center. I heard someone outside saying he had health problems, but I don’t know if that’s true. I just saw a note saying that it will be open this saturday and next saturday. I thought you might want to spread the word for other readers who have been missing their shoes and are wondering what Duke’s story is.”
Wishing Duke a speedy recovery.

Dr. K’s opened up back in 2010. A reader sends word that space has been emptied out:
Stay tuned to see who takes over the space. The 1500 block of U Street was previously home to numerous vintage/clothing shops but has dwindled in recent years. Fortunately you can still check out Joint Custody at 1530 U Street or Junction at 1510 U Street for your fix.
