This is a stinger. Last week a reader excitedly wrote in “Hazel is open!”. Alas yesterday they posted on their Instagram:
“Friends and neighbors, our last 2020 dinner service will be this Saturday, October 31st, as we prepare to close for the winter. We have truly enjoyed welcoming you back to the patio these past few weeks, and hope to see your familiar faces these next few nights. (more…)

Thanks to Mark for passing on word from El Rey:
“El Rey fam. Ever since we announced our closing your support and love has been overwhelming
We heard you, which is why we will NOT close on October 31st and will stay open for as long as we can – for you, for our staff, for DC. Thank you and nothing but love #UStreetDC!”
Ed. Note: Back in September we had learned American Ice Company, The Brixton, Echo Park, El Rey, The Gibson, Marvin, and Players Club reportedly will close “for the foreseeable future on Halloween.”
Updates if there are miracles for any of the other Hilton brothers spots mentioned above.
