The owner of Creme sends the good word:

“I know many people were shocked with the abrupt closing of Creme on U St, but never fear, I wanted to be the first to let you know that Creme Restaurant & Bar, one of DC’s famous brunches, is reopening in June!”

And they tease us on their facebook page:

“Anyone missing Creme’s famous chicken & waffles? They’ll both be back on our brunch menu with a few more tasty surprises this summer!”

Thanks to a reader for sending:

“There was some discussion a while back about Nellie’s rooftop and new regulations that were passed. I received an email from Nellie’s today that shows quite a bit of progress has been made on a new structure and their Facebook page states, “Time for a facelift! We’re getting a fancy new retractable roof to replace our tent, and wanted to share our progress with you. But have no fear, our roof is still open for drinks in the meantime, and we’ve still got our night time DJ’s rockin’ up there!”

Dodge City Mac & Cheese Movie Monday Tonight at 8pm

By Prince Of Petworth

From an email:

“Movie Mondays continue at Dodge City [917 U Street, NW], this time with a documentary double shot:

Made of Stone (The Stone Roses) and Joy Division. We’re gonna mix it up tonight and substitute our homemade mac & cheese for the usual grilled cheese. Enjoy regular or hatch green chile to help you tear up at the most melancholy Britpop moments. Add some bacon and a side salad and you’ll feel better about starting the work week.

The lights dim at 8PM, so come early and settle in!”

Thanks to a reader for sending word:

“Back in January, you blogged about the Subway closing at 16th/NewHampshire/U Street. On Saturday, I walked by and there was some construction going on. A man happened to walk out, and when I asked him what was going in there, he said it would be a Yamas Mediterranean Grill.  I’ve gotten takeout from the one in Bethesda a few times, it’s pretty good. Certainly an upgrade over the Subway.”

Yamas’s website says:

“”Yamas” is a word of Greek origin (Γεια µας) that means “to our Health” and is like “Cheers” around dining tables in Greece and around the world. We are dedicated to providing the best quality tasting food based on the Mediterranean diet for lunch on the “go” or sitting with a table of mezzes (small plates) philosophizing with your friends and family.

We are proud to offer a Mediterranean Menu using only naturally raised antibiotic free meats, olive oil, fresh fruits and vegetables – including locally sourced and organic when available.

Enjoy our delicious signature dishes featuring hand made lamb and beef gyros, our juicy Yamas rotisserie chicken marinated with lemon and spices served with fresh sides and fresh grass-fed beef burgers with fresh cut potatoes fried in olive oil. Don’t leave without trying the Opa! Fries! – Hand cut fries with feta cheese mixed together for an amazing side.

Yamas above all is a state of mind. A place where the mind clears and the Mediterranean region’s timeless culinary traditions, vibrant cultures and passionate zest for life come alive.”
