Back in April I mentioned that Gori Cafe had opened up at 1113 V Street, NW. I accidentally posted their photo last week to the wrong post but what I wanted to say was that the sign they recently put outside is phenomenal:
And I mean that very sincerely. For those that live in the area and are looking to support local businesses – look no further. And $2 for a domestic beer from 4-9pm is incredible. I think I need to have a happy hour here – We’re long overdue…
Thanks to a reader for sending:
“Took attached photo of sign posted on door of U St McDonalds… wonder what the threat to health was, other than the food.”
This house is located at 2014 15th Street, NW:
The flier says:
“A traditional brick exterior elegantly surrounds the sophisticated, contemporary & renovated interior of this stately Victorian just 2 blocks to Metro & easy walking distance to the heart of U Street, Logan & Dupont. 2 car parking, a spectacular master suite, fine fixtures & finishes, hardwood floors, a gorgeous deck & yard, & a fabulous & legal rental unit completes this special offering.”
More info found here and a virtual tour found here.
Wow, this is a pretty cool house. The inside has this modern open vibe going on. Do you like the renovation? It is yours for $1,199,000. Enjoy the photos, they are pretty sweet.
“Please take a look at the southeast corner of 7th St and Q Street NW…an abandoned liquor store has sat there for years.”
And while we’re looking at abandoned old liquor stores I’d also like to nominate one on the corner of 9th and U Street, NW:
These are both prime properties that one only hopes will be fixed up soon. I really hope they are being taxed at the vacant rate…
We were saddened to learn of Moojo Ken’s closing. It seems next door neighbor Habitat will be moving into the space. I’m not sure if Habitat is expanding or will vacate its current space. Stay tuned…
Ulah Bistro is located at 1214 U Street, NW. It’s always great to see more outdoor dining options.
For those who were excited about the Bakery and Wine Bar coming next to Marvin on 14th Street, NW – here’s some more bakery news for you. Nearby at 1320 U Street, NW Aroma Bakery and Market is coming. Between the two the bakery needs of the U and 14th Street area should be met!
This home is located at 1929 13th Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Well maintained/restored by historically-minded owners. Beautiful 3-level renovated owners’ unit with endless upgrades: chef’s custom kitchen, open 3rd-flr loft/master suite w/ new bath, fireplace, wet bar, and great roof deck with umbrella, two-zone HVAC, and great closets. Plus two-car parking, and a 1BR/1BA income unit with stainless kitchen, all within steps of Metro and vibrant U Street.”
You can find more info here and a virtual tour here.
I’m gonna be honest this house blew me away. This is one of the few houses I’ve seen that is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. I’m not sure if it’s the built in bookshelves or the dope roof deck but this is one of my new favorites. What do you guys think of the house itself? It’s yours for $1,225,000.
JOJO Restaurant and Bar is located at 1518 U Street, NW. Here’s another spot that I’ve walked by a million times but haven’t checked out yet. So in addition to the food, is this a good spot to listen to music? Would you consider it more of a bar than a restaurant or vice versa? Any fans out there?
Finally some movement at that old 14U coffee shop located at 1939 14th St., NW. Back in May we learned it was going to become a cheese steak place. Now we know the name. Anyone ever hear of JJ’s? Is it an independent or a chain?
