A few weeks ago a asked about the status of Taqueria Nacional’s move from North Capitol Street on the Hill to 14th and T Street, NW. Just noticed their signage went up (and Bakehouse’s as well.) We must be getting close:
1409 T Street, NW
U Street
13th and U Street, NW
A few folks have written about the Zoning placards posted at 13th and U Street, NW:
There is a website with tons of info devoted to this development:
13th&U is envisioned as an eight-story residential building with ground-floor retail and underground parking. The building will accommodate approximately 135 residential units and 16,000 square feet of convenient neighborhood retail. It will be 90 feet tall, with the majority of the massing set back from the front and rear property lines. The exterior design takes its cues from many of Washington DC’s iconic residential buildings.
13th&U construction is expected to commence in June 2013, with completion expected by early 2015.
Updates as construction begins.

If anyone has a photo of an area/building/lot that has changed please send me an email at princeofpetworth(at)gmail with ‘Remember When?’ in the subject line. Thanks!
In the summer of 2011 I noticed some permits for the long abandoned shell on the 13th Street just south of Florida Ave, NW. Turned out pretty nice. Remember when it looked like this:

A new tavern called Fainting Goat is coming to the former Urban Essentials space at 1330 U St, NW. In Sept. Urban Essentials moved to 1401 14th Street, NW in the former Reincarnations Furnishings space. A liquor license application has been posted in the old space saying Fainting Goat will be a:
“New tavern serving appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and main courses. Featuring DJ and background music. Occupancy load is 199.”
So – Fainting Goat – greatest bar name in DC?

From 1905 owner Tony Lucca:
We’re thrilled to announce that Joel Hatton has joined the 1905 family as our new Executive Chef. He has jumped right in to the operation, and is working on returning 1905 Bistro & Bar to its original vision of a true neighborhood restaurant serving hearty home-style cooking with a strong Southern flair. The plan is to begin rolling out new menus in the next few weeks, and we hope to see you at the restaurant in the near future.
In early Dec. we noted the start of a row house popping way up on V Street, NW. Check it out now:
For those curious about the new building in the background at the corner of 11th and V St, NW – check a photo after the jump. (more…)

Dear PoPville,
Taqueria Nacional, at 400 N Capitol St NW (ground floor of the Hall of States, behind Johnny’s Half-Shell) seems to have officially switched over to serving Johnny’s fare instead of the beloved tacos. The menu offerings changed earlier this week. Any word on when the new location of Taqueria Nacional on T St NW will open?
Below is a photo of their future 14th and T Street, NW location that I took last weekend. Progressing nicely but looks like the opening is probably still a few months away:
Thanks to AV for sending word:
“The BETA Academy of Martial Arts, which was on Columbia Rd, moved today to its new and bigger location at the corner of 14th and Florida Ave NW (1353 Florida Ave)!”
801 Florida Ave, NW
A reader sends word on the building located at 8th and Florida Ave, NW:
“I talked to one of the construction workers this morning and he confirmed with me that it will be a restaurant with a bar. Unfortunately he didn’t know what kind of food will be served.”
Updates as more info becomes available.
