A reader reports:
“Paul’s @ 1275 K St opens THIS MONDAY”
This is the former Cosi location that closed back in December 2012.
From a press release:
“The Golden Triangle Business Improvement District and D.C. Fire and EMS Department are joining forces to see if they can get at least 200 people to learn CPR skills in one day in the neighborhood during the Golden Triangle CPR Challenge.
Hands-Only CPR involves training people to administer CPR to the beat of the classic disco song “Stayin’ Alive.” CPR can more than double a person’s chances of survival, and “Stayin’ Alive” has the right beat for Hands-Only CPR.
The CPR Challenge will take place Fri., Sept. 18 from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. in Farragut Park at Connecticut Avenue and K Street with quick 20 minute sessions, open to all area workers and residents. The training is easy; people can just walk up without an appointment. The sessions will be part of the BID’s Farragut Fridays.
“We encourage everyone to take part in this training. Most people who experience cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location die because they don’t receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. Bystanders will never know when they may need to administer CPR,” says Dr. Jullette Saussy, medical director, D.C. Fire and EMS Department.”

A reader reports:
“I just saw a construction permit in the window of the old Burberry at M and Connecticut NW that says the Tiny Jewel Box is knocking down the wall in between and expanding into the corner space. It looks like it won’t be so tiny anymore!”
Ed. Note: The new Burberry store is now open in CityCenter.

Olivia’s opened up in July in the former G Street Food space just south of Dupont. Their website sounds awesome:
“Two dudes. Best friends. Sitting beachside 22 years ago with a dream of opening a diner together. Name of the restaurant was easy to pick since it’s the daughter and God-daughter of these two dudes. Olivia.
We have absolutely no idea what we are doing. But here we are. And we have found our love and passion…food and more food! Finding fresh and local produce & meat and turning into a culinary masterpiece is what we do. Creating home made dishes with simple ingredients. Nothing fancy, nothing foo-foo…just delicious food.”
You can see their menus here.
Anyone check them out yet?
And the inside looks pretty sweet too:

Last week we heard that Fig & Olive was temporarily closed by the Health Department over concerns for those who got sick with salmonella-like symptoms. More news from the Washington Post on the extent of problem:
“She’s now one of 70 possible cases tied to Fig & Olive, according to Marcus A. Williams, a spokesman for the health department. Six patients have been confirmed to have salmonella infection.
Fig & Olive remained closed Monday and has not set a date to reopen.”
