Patagonia moving to M Street

By Prince Of Petworth


31st and M Street, NW

Thanks to Rachel for sending. Patagonia is currently located at 1048 Wisconsin Ave, NW:

“Housed in an old factory that once produced industrial-size scales, our store carries a nice assortment of quality Patagonia clothing and gear for outdoor sports, travel and everyday living. A center for environmental activism, we hold regular events, provide meeting space for nonprofits and have an energized staff that advocates for conservation on Capitol Hill and volunteers with groups like the Anacostia Watershed Society. Drop in to meet them and learn more about our remarkable company.”

Anyone know what’s going to happen to that cool location?

Wawa Now Hiring for Georgetown Location at former Restoration Hardware space

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to all who emailed about the Georgetown Wawa coming soon signage after seeing this morning’s post on the one coming to Adams Morgan. Georgetown looks to be opening any day now. The takeover is real. Wawa opened their first D.C. location on 19th Street way back on December 14th 2017. Blessed be his name. Stay tuned for an exact opening date as soon as we know it.

Ed. Note: Progress seems to be slow going for the Columbia Heights Wawa but updates when we learn more about the timing their too.

New Sausage and Beer Hall. Repeat. New Sausage and Beer Hall Coming this Month

By Prince Of Petworth


3401 Water Street, NW. “The Popal Group will replace Malmaison with sausage and beer hall The Berliner this November”

From a press release:

“This November, The Berliner (3401 Water Street NW), a new scratch-made wurst and beer garden opens near the Georgetown waterfront in the space formerly occupied by neighborhood mainstay Malmaison. The Berliner is the latest concept from D.C.-based The Popal Group, the family-run restaurant group behind Cafe Bonaparte, Lapis Bistro (a recent Bib Gourmand honoree), Lapop, and the former Napoleon Bistro.

Inspired by family ties and modern Berlin comfort food, the menu includes Bavarian classics such as bratwurst, schnitzel and homemade pretzels with beer cheese, in addition to modern fare such as doner kebabs and falafel. The Berliner will also feature 24 beers on tap with a variety of domestic, international and seasonal brews ranging from larger producers to to smaller German breweries rarely found on U.S. menus.

God damn it.

Thanks, I think, to a reader for sending from “Georgetown. By the time I got my phone out, this little guy had moved off the food. Our area restaurants need to do better. The door to this case was left wide open, so he/she was able to just curry right in.”

Fresh Baguette Opens Thursday!!

By Prince Of Petworth


1727 Wisconsin Ave, NW at S Street

Thanks to Eric for the heads up: “FYI fresh baguette on Wisconsin will open on Thursday.”

Fresh Baguette’s Website says:

“Fresh Baguette is THE authentic French bakery in Bethesda

Our bakery is named after its signature product, the traditional baguette. Our master baker leaves nothing to chance and uses the very best French techniques: a cold dough process that develops unique flavors, homemade “levain” (leaven), and an oven imported from France with a stone based sole for outstanding baking. The result is a baguette that is light, airy, with just the right crunch and doesn’t require a trip to France. And we bake baguettes throughout the day, so you can always get a fresh one.

In addition to our traditional baguette, we offer a wide variety of breads all prepared and baked with the same care: (more…)

From the Mayor’s Office:

“Mayor Bowser’s Department of Transportation (DDOT) today announced five new pick-up/drop-off pilot locations following the successful Connecticut Avenue Pick-up/Drop-off Zone Night Life Pilot. Following a 30-day notice and comment period, the Administration will launch the new 24-hour passenger and commercial loading zones in high-demand areas.

“Our goal with the expansion of this pilot is to reduce conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists,” said Mayor Bowser. “By rethinking how we move people and goods between the street and the sidewalk, we can better adapt to a changing transportation landscape and find new ways to work together to meet our Vision Zero goals.”

The new pilot locations will be exclusively used for pick-up/drop-off and commercial loading 24 hours a day. (more…)
