Good news from the folks at Radius Pizza:

“We just wanted you to know that Radius Pizza is now serving alcohol! Our liquor license was finally received last Wednesday and we are serving beer and wine at this time. Liquor/cocktails are coming this weekend. We are also offering a great $5 happy hour menu every day between 5PM and 7PM”

You can see their menu here.

Drink and happy hour menus after the jump. (more…)

Looks like Haydee’s could be open 24/7 in the near future. A recent liquor license amendment says:

“PROPOSED HOURS OF OPERATION HOURS FOR PREMISES
Monday through Sunday 24hrs/day.

PROPOSED HOURS OF SALES/SERVICE/CONSUMPTION FOR PREMISES
Sunday through Thursday 11:00am – 2:00am, Friday and Saturday 11:00am – 3:00am.”

Like The Coupe in Columbia Heights which is open 24/7, hours of alcohol consumption would not be 24/7. For folks that live in Mt. Pleasant – like the idea of Haydee’s staying open 24/7?

Over the summer we learned that Radius Pizza had closed at 3155 Mount Pleasant Street, NW above Last Exit next to Tonic. The good news for pizza fans in Mt. P is that Radius Pizza reopens on Thursday at 5pm (new sign coming Friday.) I stopped by yesterday to take a peek inside and while finishing touches were ongoing – it looks like it’s gonna be pretty sweet:

The new owners (who live in the neighborhood) tell me there will be lots of specials. And while the liquor license won’t come through until (probably) November, there will soon be many happy hour specials as well as a half priced wine night. There will also be a different food special every day such as half priced pasta day. They will continue the famed “Pint and a Slice” deal but it will be only one day a week (likely Mondays) and the price will go up a bit due to the rise in prices for ingredients. Stay tuned for carryout specials as well.

Great news for Mt. P.

Council Member Jim Graham updates the community on the future Monsignor Romero building in Mt. Pleasant:

Excellent news. The DC gov has approved the tax credit application for the Monsignor Romero building at 3145 Mt Pleasant Street. It has been a very long haul, but this tenant owned building is soon on its way to rehabilitation in service to very low income people. A victory for the tenants, the National Housing Trust and everyone who had faith that this could and would work.

A reader asked him when construction was slated to begin and he replied:

The city gets to allocate Federal resources (Low Income Housing Tax Credits or LIHTC) to help build or redevelop affordable housing. Those federal tax credits allow organizations (in this case, the National Housing Trust) to attract private investors to invest money so that they can rebuild the Monsignor Romero building. For about every dollar in tax credits, a project such as this is able to generate about $10 in private funding.

Almost equally important, without these credits, this project would not have been feasible.

To answer your question as to when the work will start, NHT has to work through the Department of Housing and Community Development’s normal processes, but expect construction to begin in March 2013.
