Martin sends the sad news:
“Congress Market, my favorite neighborhood bodega, is closing its doors. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve popped in here over the nearly ten years I’ve lived on Capitol Hill, and I guarantee you I turn the corner of 5th and East Capitol and try and pop in again out of habit at least a few more times. What a loss.”

From a press release:
“Fight Club, the hit pandemic-era sandwich pop-up that operated out of Beuchert’s Saloon, is resurrecting in its own brick-and-mortar location at 633 Pennsylvania Avenue SE on May 10. Fight Club 2.0, headed up by co-owners Andrew Markert, Bart Hutchins, and Mackenzie Conway, will initially open for weekday lunch, serving up the OG pop-up menu of sandwiches and snacks that gained a cult-following during the height of the pandemic. A few weeks later, it will extend its hours and roll out its full menu with expanded offerings including a new large plate menu category, as well as a cocktail program centered around boozy punches on draft. Fight Club’s initial opening hours will be Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 4 PM for full-service dining, carryout and delivery via DoorDash, Caviar and GrubHub. (more…)
