A few weeks ago I said this liquor store was gonna be ridiculously awesome. Well, there is no doubt about it, this liquor store is ridiculously awesome. It soft opened on Saturday and this coming Friday will be its grand opening. The owner, Mr. Lee, did not spare any detail. Take for example, the lion sculpture outside, it was specifically imported from Tibet:
But the real excitement is, of course, with the store itself. People who remember the old store will be dumbfounded. This transformation is nothing less than spectacular:
It’s easy to overlook all the awesome – but check out the ceilings when you stop by:
And of course they also have an awesome selection of wine, beer and liquor. The back of the store is ringed with beer:
And while the store was less than half stocked for the soft opening, you can tell the wine selection is gonna be equally awesome taking up the bulk of the store:
And this is just the beginning for Mr. Lee’s plans. While the store itself is huge you’re actually only seeing a fraction of the building. Mr. Lee was kind enough to give me a tour of the rest of the building and explain his vision for part two. Part two will have a wine bar, sushi bar, Korean style grill and much much more. You have to trust me on the space, consisting of two floors – it is gigantic. Planning for part two will take place this summer and it’ll probably be another year before it’s completed so we’ll def. revisit as plans progress.
In the meantime – be sure to check out one of the best new wine, beer, and liquor stores in the town.

From the original Good Deal or Not (GDoN) comments: “I hope it goes for asking (as I said, I live near by) but think it will go for below. I imagine upper 500′s, but I’ll treat myself to some bubbly if they get over 600.” Go for it, blazing sun.
This property was renovated by John Formant, real estate broker and experienced developer (of both fee simple homes and entire condo projects). I am a fan of his work, which is a pleasure to show and to sell. He tends to use higher quality materials than some builders who renovate specifically with re-sale in mind, and he thinks carefully through the space.

Dear PoPville,
I was at the Ace Hardware on Upshur and 12th last night, and they told me this Saturday, Ace Hardwares nationwide would be giving away free quarts of paint as a promotion for their new line of paints. Looks like this NYT article from today confirms it.
Great way to support local small business, and get some paint at the same time.
Awesome. Annie tells me:
“We will be giving away free quarts of Clark & Kensington flat paint every Saturday in March. Clark & Kensington is Ace’s new brand of paint that has been totally reformulated as a primer + paint. We will be able to mix most of the Ace colors. Each customer who receives a free quart of paint will also receive a “bounce-back” coupon which will allow them to receive 20% off of paint brushes, rollers, drop clothes when they purchase 2 gallons of Clark & Kensington paint.”

I have to warn you straight away, this is gonna be one of those posts where I can’t really contain my enthusiasm. But cut me some slack, it is the enthusiasm of someone who has been waiting nine years for something like this. Holy freaking awesome, you’re gonna have to trust me a bit too because the photos are obviously rough and don’t do the space justice. But here goes! Holy freaking awesome. Alright I’m calm now.
For those who are not familiar with the project – it is from the Hilton brothers Eric and Ian – the guys behind Marvin, Gibson, Blackbyrd, soon to be Brixton etc. We took a peek (and some lucky ones a taste) at some preview menus here and here. While, I’m guessing it’s still 4 weeks or so from opening now it’s time to take a peek inside 3815 and 3817 Georgia Ave, NW. Not shown is the outdoor space. This is just a taste:
Booths on the first floor

A new consignment store has just signed a lease at 3903 Georgia Ave, NW above Petworth Cleaners. The owner of Petworth Cleaners (also the landlord of the building) tells me the lease starts on March 1st and they will likely open up shortly thereafter. More info when it becomes available.

Three Little Pigs, Charcuterie & Salumi is coming to 5111 Georgia Ave, NW very soon.
Back in Oct. 2011 we took a preview of the new building, The Griffin, located at 3801 Georgia Ave, NW at the corner of Quincy. At the time we weren’t sure if the building would be sold or not. I was just told the fencing is coming down today and the units will be shown starting Saturday. If anyone is interested in a unit you can contact the folks who run Park Place across the street. Ed. Note: Park Place is a PoP advertiser. Since a reader recently wrote in nominating this building for a horse’s ass award, I’m glad the fencing is finally coming down! Also for ZipCar users – two ZipCar spaces will be added to the back of the building.
