Starting to see some serious progress for the return of Henry’s Soul Cafe. I was a bit concerned when the K Street location closed – but the new windows are very promising. Stay tuned.

Back in April we learned that NY Bagel Cafe and Deli was coming to U Street. I popped in Lovely Yogurt for an update and was told it’s at least two months out before we see any bagels. Also NY Bagel will cohabitate the space with Lovely Yogurt. I remain cautiously optimistic. Stand by.

I just noticed the new signage for 13thandU:
“13/U is a new residential building that will soon find its home at the corner of 13th and U Streets NW. It will accommodate an estimated 130 residences along with convenient street-level retail to further enhance the vibrant U Street Corridor.”
Check out the renderings:
This made me laugh.

I just noticed the for lease sign at Ride DC (formerly Pelaton cycling) at 14th and Florida Ave, NW. (Phone number disconnected and website no longer active.) Anyone know when they closed? A SoulCycle is coming a few blocks south at 14th and U St, NW in the former DTLR space – opening this Fall.
From Compass Rose:
“Our Big Beer Week event! We decided to focus our Beer Week special around an issue close to our hearts at Compass Rose: Women in the Bar and Restaurant Industry. We are a female owned and female run business so we thought it appropriate to introduce D.C. to She’Brew from Shamaltz Brewing Company!
She’Brew: 22oz beer with 11% ABV. Big bottles intended for splitting between two people. The first She’brew Beer is a giant and luscious Triple IPA that pours bright apricot with a silky white head. She’brew hides her strength behind a beautifully balanced, drinkable triple IPA.
For our band special we will have late night happy hour pricing on draft beers and rail cocktails including the He’brew Hop Manna, another great IPA from Schmaltz Brewing.
We will be donating to the Pink Boots Society scholarship fund, a global non-profit that aims to advance women in the beer business. Schmaltz Brewing will also donate proceeds to Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region (Albany, NY) whose mission is to inspire all girls to be “Strong, Smart and Bold.” Schmaltz Brewing already supports this cool non-profit through sales of She’Brew. We will be contributing a donation based off of She’Brew sales during all of Beer Week.”
