In October we first learned Red Rocks Pizza would be opening another restaurant at 1348 H St, NE. Renovations have been progressing nicely and they’ve recently applied for a liquor license:
“New Full Service Restaurant and Bar serving Neapolitan Pizza and a DJ on the 2nd Floor.
Seating Capacity is 281, total occupancy load is 370. Summer Garden with 76 seats.”
Should be a great addition for springtime, when they hope to open.


1204 H Street, NE
Falafel Maestro signage has been posted in the windows at 1204 H St, NE in the Philadelphia Water Ice building. It’ll be interesting to see if they can compete with Shawafel located a block away at 1322 H St, NE.


Anyone check out Batter Bowl Bakery which recently opened up next to Ethiopic at 403 H Street, NE? It looks great:

Have a peek at the menu after the jump. (more…)

We first heard Hikari Sushi was coming to 644 H St, NE back in Sept. 2011. Glad to see they’ve finally opened.

Some potential super sweet scuttlebutt for ya to round out the year. Another really good source tells me that Honey Pig Korean BBQ is looking to take over around 4000 square feet near 4th and H St, NE. Their website says:
My husband and I began Honey Pig in 2008 with our son in mind. We wanted to create a restaurant that would offer affordable, quality food for people from all different walks of life. Today, we are happy to say that Honey Pig is known for just that–a fun, vibrant mixing bowl of all ages and cultures, coming together to enjoy the finest Korean BBQ at the lowest prices in town!
You can see their menu here.
They currently have three locations in Ellicott City, MD; Centreville, VA; and Annandale, VA.
Still just rumor at this point for H Street but could be pretty cool.
Anyone every try one of those spots?

I’m hearing from a very good source that Chopt, Chipotle, Boloco, and Potbellys are all trying to get one of the new retail spaces for the new building on H Street, NE between 3rd and 4th (where the new Giant grocery store is also coming.) Out of the four above which would you most like to see?

The folks behind the Far East Taco Grille food truck are opening a brick and mortar spot “Sometime in late January!!” (according to their twitter feed.)
