This week in coming to H Street, NE – DC Conscious Cafe. A recent liquor license posted at the Buka Restaurant space at 1413 H St, NE says:
“New Restaurant. World Fusion menu. Social gatherings, book reading and speakers from the community. Entertainment will be provided. Occupancy load is 40.”
Cool. I’m eager to learn more about the book readings and speakers from the community. Sounds like it may have a Busboys and Poets vibe.
Ed. Note: World/global fusion seems to be where it’s at for the moment.
This rental is located at 1244 Wylie Street, NE:

I’ve been meaning to share this little tidbit from @HStreetDC on twitter:
“Belly dancing coming to #HStDC!!! Souk’s owner converting upstairs to lounge with entertainment, food, and good drinks for your pleasure.”
Awesome. Souk is located at 1208 H St, NE. You can see their menu here.
It’s not scuttlebutt for H St, NE. Yesterday, H Street Great Street shared the good word that The Daily Rider will be coming to 1108 H St, NE in the Spring.
The scuttlebutt goes to the possibility of a bike shop in the DCUSA mall in Columbia Heights. Ever since the Elwood Thompson’s debacle, it’s been tough to find out scuttlebutt for new tenants looking into the DCUSA mall on 14th St, NW between Irving and Park Rd. Thanks to a reader for sharing some promising leads they heard.
In addition to a bike shop, they hear a Lime Fresh Mexican Grill is looking as well as a DSW (which we’ve previously spoken about here.)
You like the idea of a Lime Fresh and/or a Bike shop coming to DCUSA in Columbia Heights?

Back in Sept. 2011 we learned that Fashion One was closing at 700 H St, NE. It’s a huge space and I was really curious to learn who was going to be moving in. I’m happy to share some sweet scuttlebutt that I’ve learned from a very reliable source. Word is – Ace Hardware is in negotiations to take over the lease. I give this an 88% accuracy likelihood.
You think an Ace Hardware store would do well here?
