Word on the street is that VeraCruz gallery got evicted. VeraCruz opened up back in July 2012.
“DC’s craft cocktail lounge, street art gallery and event space is waiting for you!”

We suspected they were getting close…
A peek in the window also reveals that it looks like they kept the original external wall or did a great recreation:
From a press release:
“TICO restaurant, owned and operated by award-winning chef Michael Schlow, is set to open in the Louis Development at 1926 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC in June 2014. Schlow, considered to be one of the leading culinary professionals in the United States, opened the first TICO, named one of Esquire’s “Best New Restaurants in America” in Boston in 2011; this marks his first DC-based venture.
An American restaurant influenced by Schlow’s travels to Spain, Mexico and Latin America, TICO will offer various ceviches, tacos, small plates, a la plancha dishes, and family style entrées. Chef George Rodrigues, executive chef at TICO Boston, has relocated to DC and will helm the kitchen in Washington. Elkus Manfredi Architects has collaborated with Bethesda-based StreetSense to design the 164-seat space and will feature artwork from Schlow’s wife, Adrienne. (more…)

From a press release:
“Vinoteca’s “Hot Dogs & Bubbly” and “Burger & Beer” combos were such a hit
last year, they’re returning in an even more fun way on Thursday nights: Adult Kids Meals. Appealing to the inner child in everyone, the playful combos will pair either a house made hot dog with glass of sparkling wine, or a burger with draft beer; plus a side of house made chips, and everyone’s favorite part of a kids’ meal – the “toy” – will be a pair of Vinoteca-branded wayfarer-style shades to sport around the Plaza, all for only $11.
Available every Thursday from 5 p.m. to close, guests can mix and match their own combos – which might range from a boudin pork red onion-topped Who Dat Doggy paired with a glass of house sparkling wine, to an O.G. Bocce beef burger with basil aioli and fresh mozzarella paired with a Lagunitas IPA. Each entrée and drink pairing come with a side of house made potato chips, and a pair of stylish Vinoteca sunglasses.
Adult Kids Meals will be $11 and only be available Thursday evenings from 5 p.m. to close.”
Ready for some super sweet scuttlebutt? The source that told us H Street, NE was getting a Whole Foods now says they are in negotiations for a space at one of the new projects near 9th and U St, NW.
Do you think it’s really possible or is that location too close to their P Street location?
Obviously this is just scuttlebutt but if this happens – it’ll be huge!!

Last month we heard about Nellie’s new retractable roof deck but I guess I didn’t realize how serious this thing is:

It was still getting worked on when I walked by on Sunday. Previously this was the Evolution mural painted in 2008. (Sadly it was recently tagged in my spots by trash graffiti.)

Thanks to a couple readers for sending emails about this. One thinks it will become condos. Has anyone seen any renderings?
Here’s what it looked like during demo last week:
“My dog was attacked yesterday and I am looking for the other dog’s owner and witnesses.
At 11:45am on Sat, May 3, my pomeranian puppy was attacked by an older dog at the corner of 14th/Florida. After the attack was over, someone told me to get the owner’s information but, in all the commotion and panic, I grabbed my dog, ran home, and didn’t get the owner’s information. My puppy will be okay but he has a large wound on his neck/chest, is in pain, and has about a two week recovery ahead of him.
I’d like to track down the dog/owner as well as witnesses, and report the incident to animal control.
I also want to thank everyone who helped free my dog. I wasn’t in the right state of mind to thank everyone at the time, so THANK YOU… you literally saved my puppy’s life.
Please email me at allisonthomson(at)gmail.com if you have any information.”
