Back in February we noted that Woodley Cafe had gone dark after many years – I was a server there in 1997!! Anyway, I hear that their neighbor Macinytyre’s is looking to take over the space. (more…)

Last week we shared some scuttlebutt about a Dim Sum restaurant coming to the former Starbucks in Woodley Park. Washingtonian now reports: “Han Palace Owner Will Open Two New Dim Sum Restaurants in DC” (more…)
2649 Connecticut Ave, NW
Sources say yes! To the former Starbucks location, which closed in September 2020 and was previously home to Cafe Paradiso. I’m hearing that a Dim Sum restaurant with roots in Tysons is coming. I give this a 91% accuracy rating. STAY TUNED.
This rental is located at 29th St NW near Calvert St NW. The Craigslist ad says:
“$3,696 / 3br – 1750ft2 – Super Cool 3BR/2BR+Den or Office with Amazing Terrace (Woodley Park) (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I went to Afghan Grill for dinner in Woodley Park and the owner said they’re a few weeks from closing if their fortunes don’t improve. Apparently, convention goers at the Marriott Wardman Park accounted for 60% of their business, and they’re down over $200k in business as compared to a “normal”, pre-pandemic year. (more…)

Thanks to Margot for passing on the sad word from Salon Roi:
“Friends, it is with mixed emotion that we share this with you! Like millions, we have been struggling for over a year now to keep our DOORS OPEN, while operating 20/30% of our normal capacity and Income. We have done a good job following all the COVID rules to the “T.” AFTER ALL THAT, we were not successful in negotiating a new LEASE. So, like many long-time businesses in Woodley Park, we are forced to close the doors of Salon Roi after 52 years in the same Building.
So, June 30th, we will be leaving Our MARILYN MURAL behind, as we all pack our styling carts and head to SALON ROI (#2) (more…)
