Big news from Bread Furst’s facebook page:
“We are excited to announce “Bread Feast,”a series of neighborhood dinners with Chef Frank Ruta to begin in September at Bread Furst!
Ruta’s menu will be seasonal and simple, changing continuously. The menu will be posted 24 hours in advance of the dinners on the Bread Furst website where you will be able to reserve some of the few seats available. This will be a modestly-priced dinner with antipasto and wine followed by a single menu served family-style.
More details to follow very soon!”
Incidentally, Bread Furst has also just posted a liquor license placard:
“Bakery-Restaurant serving breads & pastries, breakfast, lunch and dinner with a seating capacity of 20 inside. Total occupancy load of 38 and sidewalk café with 24.”
Frank Ruta was formerly owner/chef of Palena which closed in Cleveland Park last April.

“Dear PoPville,
Weird thing happened to my wife yesterday, was wondering if any readers have experienced something similar: while in her car at a stop light in the Van Ness area of Connecticut Ave., a woman in the car behind got out of her car, came up to the driver’s side of my wife’s car, and took a picture of her, just a couple inches from the window. My wife was so stunned she didn’t think to take the license plate, and the woman turned off before she could react. Crazy person, or ulterior motive?”

I happened to pass the new Laliguras Indian & Nepali Bistro we learned about on Monday and noticed they offered delivery too:
I was also surprised to see that the 7-11 closed next door:

Ed. Note: Just after 9am this morning a reader writes: “Bakery wiped out within an hour of opening. Clearly a much needed addition to the neighborhood.”
Next up in incredible transformations – from Real Estate office to Bakery – Bread Furst is now open in Van Ness:
