1830 14th Street, NW
A bit of interesting scuttlebutt this morning – a tipster sends word that an “evening food market and bar” is coming to the former art gallery (in the old Hunted House) space at 1830 14th St, NW. The proposed market will be filled by various food truck-type vendors (some who are apparently quite well known) as well as a beer/wine bar. They expect to open around May. Could be awesome. More info as it becomes available.

Another reader spotted the awesome Delorean outside 12th and S St, NW and wonders what folks think of the new coffee spot – The Coffee Bar? They opened up back in Dec. 2012 and every time I’ve walked past the place has been smashed crowded. I’m hearing great things about them. You can see their menu here. Anyone try them out yet?
Dear PoPville,
Went by Dunkin Donuts Friday morning at 14th and U. It was closed by the DC Health Department for “imminent” dangers associated with their food service. Any idea what was going on there? The owners posted a “Sorry, we’re closed” sign as well. Didn’t know if you had any details.
Thanks to all who sent emails. Not sure what happened but I walked by on Sunday and they had already reopened:

Thanks to a reader for sending an update about the “upscale grocer” coming to the new Capitol View building at 14th and Belmont St, NW. The reader speculates that it could be David’s Natural Market or The Natural Market. More info as it becomes available.

Thanks to a reader for sending word about the new spinning studio at 14th and Florida Ave, NW. From Peloton’s website:
“The word “peloton” refers to the main pack of riders in a road race. There is nothing haphazard about the creation of a peloton – it is intentional and strategic. We have chosen to incorporate peloton into our name because the energy in each class will come from the instructor and from each cyclist alike.”

From a matchbox press release:
The lunch menu is an extension of dinner service, with the same menu of perfectly portioned wood-fired pizzas, sandwiches and mouthwatering entrees that neighbors and visitors have already grown to love. The restaurant will offer fresh and unique creations like a sweet & tangy calamari salad and a sesame crusted tuna salad with rare ahi tuna, fried carrots, sake marinated cucumbers and roasted peanuts along with local favorites: a jumbo lump crabcake sandwhich with roasted red pepper remoulade served on a toasted brioche roll and a prosciutto & black mission fig pizza with roasted garlic, mozzarella, gorgonzola and the perfect amount of black pepper.
matchbox 14th Street’s full menu is also available to-go for carry out lunch orders. Situated on T street, a separate “To-Go” entrance makes picking up orders a breeze.
