Dagger.
From the Brookland listserv:
“Heart broken.
Last night: December 22nd is the last day.
Just confirmed.”
Nido opened back in June 2015.
“Sampling from some of the most memorable moments during the owner’s time spent abroad, Nido is a unique neighborhood bistro with eclectic Mediterranean cuisine. It is a light, airy, yet cozy space that provides “a place to sit down” to snack and imbibe with neighbors, friends, and family.”
Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.
Ed. Note: You’ll still be able to check out Mola in Mount Pleasant from the owners of Nido.
