876 Cafe opened up in the former Indian Ocean restaurant in Van Ness back in April 2012. Their website says:
Enjoy the complex yet simplistic fusion of Caribbean cuisine with Washington’s premier restaurant 876 Cafe. Located one block from the Van Ness metro station neighboring the Cleveland Park area, 876 Cafe invites you to experience familiar dishes piqued with zesty accents of the islands.
Inside, the warm and open decor showcases talent of local artists and helps the customer to transcend to a vibe where everything is “irie and cool”. Sample favorites like our fresh multi-green salad infused with sweet coconut-gingered flakes, ackee and saltfish wraps or our refreshing coconut water contained in the original husk.
And as with everything you can expect exceptional service in a casual environment.
Go ahead. Grab a group of your friends or co-workers and relax on the veranda, bar or swanky WiFi lounge area for lunch, dinner, weekend brunch or happy hour. 876 Cafe promises to stimulate your pallet and captivate your senses.
You can see their menus here. Any fans?

From a press release:
After one of the most outstanding careers in the history of bookselling, Barbara Meade has decided to retire from Politics & Prose, the store she helped create with Carla Cohen and has done so much to nurture over the past three decades. Since handing over the reins of ownership a year-and-a-half ago, Barbara has served as an advisor to the new owners—Bradley Graham and Lissa Muscatine—and has remained a frequent presence in the store. Her continued involvement in P&P has been invaluable in assuring a smooth transition. Brad and Lissa have credited Barbara’s expert counsel and wise insights with helping them enormously to gain their own new footings in the book business.
Recently, Barbara informed the staff that she wants to create space in her life to allow more time for reading. She will remain a vital part of the heart and soul of Politics & Prose and will continue to be admired and appreciated for the many ways in which she has influenced our community.
Below is a message from Barbara to all of the customers, authors, publishers, sales reps, and friends she so actively engaged during her bookselling career:
