Back in mid-Nov. we saw that Java Green was for sale at 1020 19th St NW. At the time I wondered if it’s sister store – Cafe Green was also for sale 1513 17th St, NW. The new for sale notice still lists Java Green for sale at $599,000 and adds:
“2nd Possible Restaurant (w/Liquor License) May Be For Sale (1513 17th St)”
More when/if a buyer is found.
Thanks to PoPville twitter follower @grafxnerd for sending the word and photos. New Orleans Po Boy Shop is going to be located in the former Starbucks shop at 1203 19th St, NW next to the soon to be Irish Whiskey. We will def. revisit when more info becomes available and they get closer to opening.
WJLA reports:
On Tuesday, the D.C. liquor board came to an agreement with the management of Heritage India to reopen on Dec. 21, but the establishment has agreed to a series of limitations in order to serve alcohol.
As part of their reopening, Heritage India must give up their entertainment license, meaning that they must close every night by midnight. They’re also required to sell food with alcohol.
Heritage India, located at 1337 Connecticut Ave., NW, was the scene of a fight that resulted in a Nov. 27th shooting death as well as stabbings. They released their own statement here.
I think they may already be open but will be able to sell liquor on the 21st? I took this photo yesterday:
Rejoice! Eater DC reports:
He’s [Barry Koslow] partnering with the guys from the Roadside Food Project and aims to serve your typical deli options — corned beef, pastrami (both house-made), matzo ball soup pickled fish — but they’re also going to be boozing it up with craft cocktails, beer and wine.
Looks like the Deli is coming to the former Cafe Mio space at 1317 Connecticut Ave, NW. This was the location that was going to become a Go Burger but that fell through in Feb. ’11.
Best news for DC since we got a baseball team back?
UPDATE: Just got a press release with lots more info:
DGS Delicatessen opening in Dupont Circle Spring 2012.
Acclaimed DC Chef Barry Koslow– recently named DC’s best Jewish chef by Forward Magazine– will launch a craft Jewish delicatessen in partnership with Roadside Food Projects in late Spring/early Summer 2012. The menu will evoke nostalgia for the classic delicatessen while elevating the experience with house-cured meats and fish and bread, bagels and bialys by Mark Furstenburg. DGS Delicatessen will be located at 1317 Connecticut Avenue, just south of Dupont Circle, with approximately 80 seats inside the restaurant, a patio and a to-go market featuring select items from the menu. The bar will offer a curated beverage program featuring a smart beer and wine list and old-world vodkas.
Continues after the jump. (more…)
In late Nov. we judged Capitol Hill’s Toscana Cafe. At that time it was still listed on their Website that a Toscana Market would be coming to Dupont Circle. They were planning on coming to the old Pleasure Place space (which closed back in Aug. ’10) at 1710 Connecticut Ave. NW. Unfortunately, the market is no longer listed on their website and a new for lease sign has gone up in the window. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the signing of a new tenant.

The Cosi located outside the Dupont South metro exit has closed for renovations:
I guess they’re trying to keep up with the newer Panera next door:
This home is located at 1772 T St, NW:
The flier says:
“How rare is it to find a townhome in Dupont Circle proper for less than $700K? Open floor plan on main level with gorgeous wood floors & brand spanking new kitch. 2nd level has two generous BR’s, full bath that leads to a deck walkway to the deck over the garage where there’s a hot tub. Yes, there is a detached garage. Rear yard is bricked, and has a goldfish pool-pond”
You can find more info here (soon more info here) and photos here.
What do you think about the spiral staircase? This 2 bed/1.5 bath is going for $694,900.
Irish Whiskey is coming to 1207 19th Street, NW (formerly Porter’s.) Thanks to a reader for sending the photo above. Like it better now or did you prefer the green below?
