“New &pizza in Adams Morgan right on 18th? PoPville is this true???”
It is true indeed. And it is an end of an era. I dig that mushroom pie they have but they’re gonna need to crank these out right quick late nights if they want to compete with the jumbo slice kings…

Thanks to Brian and Duane for sending. Back in July we learned that Bom Korean-style Chicken had posted a liquor license placard at the former Millie & Al’s spot. Getting close now.

I happened to run into a construction worker on site who said they were only a couple weeks away from opening! Stay tuned and for those that missed it last month all the details on this Pitango Gelato + Cafe here.

“I was walking by Millie and Al’s the other day, shedding a tear as I always do when I walk by, and saw that there was some movement and construction inside and out. Did you ever find out what is taking its place?”
Beth writes:
“We walked by and it’s under construction in AdMo. We asked and the construction workers said it would be a Korean place. Can’t wait!”
Ed. Note: Back in July we learned that Bom Korean-style Chicken had posted a liquor license placard here. Updates as construction progresses.
Thanks to Bishop for sending the photo above on Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm at 16th and U Street, NW.
And Sarah sends the shot below from Adams Morgan. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again; From time to time a horse canters by you on 18th Street in Adams Morgan and now U Street.

From Grand Duchess (former Pharmacy Bar, High Dive):
“We’ve installed a translucent screen that fits the entire way across our bay window so that movies can be seen from inside as well as outside the bar. Showtime is 9pm.
Next Tuesday (the 26th) we will be showing Step Brothers, followed by Point Break on Oct 3rd. For the rest of October, we will be doing Tuesday night horror double features in the lead up to Halloween: flicks like From Dusk Till Dawn, Suspiria, Jason Takes Manhattan, etc.”
