“Right now – Planned Parenthood Protest, 16th and L St NW… At a location that has been closed for two months. Only in DC. Looks like someone forgot to check Yelp.”

“I’m excited to share that Pennsylvania 6 DC [1350 I Street, NW] will be launching its brunch menu this Saturday, January 16.
The unique element to this brunch will be the Champagne Bar which will be held in the chandelier-dripping, Oxford Room. The Champagne Bar will be flowing with mixers and garnishes such as tropical juices, artisan elixers like elderflower syrups and delectable fruit slices. Not your typical bottomless brunch but more of an upscale champagne tasting with contemporary American brunch fare. (more…)

In May of 2014 Finemondo become Noelia Italian Kitchen across from the National Press Building. In May of 2015 they had Heady Topper. Apparently they since closed – and something is coming:

From Bub and Pops:
“Arrangements have been finalized for Pete’s funeral and we will be closed Friday and Saturday. The plan is to resume regular hours beginning Monday, Jan 11. I can’t say it enough, thank you for your very sincere show of concern and expressions of caring during this devastatingly hard time.”
From DDOT:
“The demolition of the former Washington Post building near the intersection of 15th and L Street NW will require long-term, temporary sidewalk and road closures beginning Saturday January 9, from 7 am to 7 pm, weather permitting.
The L Street sidewalk and curb lane will be completely closed to pedestrian and vehicular traffic for the duration of the project, which is expected to be complete by summer 2018.
Starting Monday, January 18, 2016, the demolition work has been permitted from 7 am to 7 am each day in a 24-hour cycle until mid-April 2016, weather permitting. During this time, an additional travel lane can be closed during demolition operations at the L street buildings.
The bicycle lane will continue to run in an eastbound direction along L Street, but will be shifted several feet from its current location to accommodate the curb closure. A barrier will separate the bicycle lane from the vehicular traffic.
Signs will be posted to guide and reroute pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles.
The signage will indicate where pedestrians need to cross over to the south side of L Street to avoid the demolition activity.”
