Room 11, 11th and Lamont St, NW – August 2009
Another big anniversary for another great Columbia Heights spot on 11th Street – Happy 5th to Room 11! Flash back to their opening menu here and celebrate tonight:
“This was our opening menu 5 years ago today! Join us Monday evening as we celebrate our birthday!”
From Brianne Nadeau:
“On Thursday night, an explosion and fire at 1429 Belmont Street, NW displaced 74 residents. Since that time they have been sheltered at the Columbia Heights Recreation Center, and many neighbors have offered support by donating clothing and providing translation.
Tremendous coordination is ongoing between the Red Cross, many different DC agencies, the Office of Latino Affairs, staff from the Mayor and CM Graham’s office, Housing Counseling Services and LEDC.
Many of you have asked how you can help as we work to relocate these families, with the goal of keeping them together and in our community.
Our friends at the Latin American Youth Center will be collecting donations in support of these families. If you would like to give, please visit their website and select “Columbia Heights Fire Victims”as the special purpose.”

“2 Year Anniversary Celebration
We wanted to send an update to let you folks all know about some upcoming events that we are participating in. We are celebrating our 2 Year Anniversary at Meridian Pint this Saturday and will have 13 different beers on tap, plus a specialty cask. We are going to tap Batch 1 Keg 1 at the party, literally the 2nd keg from our first batch of Pandemic from back in 2012. We will be firing up the grill and getting the party started at 4pm, so please grab some friends and stop by for a beer or too.”

A reader asks if anyone has ever stopped by the relatively new Serenity Health & Wellness on 14th Street in Columbia Heights next to Zeba and Quiet Mind Yoga?
Their facebook page says:
“We offer traditional and natural therapeutic services including acupressure and foot reflexology by using 4000 years of ancient Chinese Healing Method.”
For those who get massages in DC – where do you go?

“The 1300 block of Columbia Rd. NW (between 13th & 14th Sts NW) is completely closed for emergency water and sewer repairs.

Thanks to @MrTinDC for tweeting us word:
“Uptowner Deli in Columbia Heights is closing, possibly moving to M Street according to the security guard”
Uptowner Cafe opened up in the Tivoli complex back in 2009 in the former Carvel ice cream space (remember when this was Carvel?) Updates when we learn who takes over the space.

“There is a great concert & flamenco performance by a local group this weekend at Gala theater in Columbia Heights. “Roya World Music.” I saw them at the Glen Echo Folk Festival a few weeks ago. They play a mix of Persian, Tango & Bossa Nova, and the flamenco dancer was wonderful.”
