Thanks to a couple of readers for sending word:
“Queen’s English got a stop work order after their new vestibule was installed on Sunday morning. Gotta at least love the positive attitude about their sticker! But the real question is how did someone get someone from DCRA to come out at 9:26 am on a Sunday? I’ve put in illegal construction requests for bricks falling during business hours and months later got a closed notification email and a “how did we do?” survey request.” (more…)

Last week Michael tipped us off that a liquor license application for Creole on 14th had been filed for 3365 14th Street, NW – which is the home to the coming Iron Age Korean/BBQ restaurant.

The folks in the know were indeed in the know as that is exactly what’s happening. So file this as a win/win. Stay tuned for much more about Creole on 14th, which folks in the know say is very likely from the Po Boy Jim folks…as well as updates on Iron Age opening. (more…)
