ICYMI: Last week, All Purpose Riverfront Still Closed in Navy Yard. Reopening Soon?
UPDATE: A rep from All Purpose writes me, “It’s been a great eight years at that space, but All Purpose Hospitality Group has decided to focus efforts on the original All-Purpose location in Shaw and AP Pizza Shop in Bethesda, along with an Aventino coming to IAD this fall.”
“Dear PoPville,
Was just told All Purpose Riverfront is closed for good. They canceled my reservation for an event next month😭”
All Purpose Riverfront has been removed from their website: (more…)

1424 Park Road, NW
Ed. Note: Salvimex only opened here in March 2025.
“Dear PoPville,

It’s definitely closed and has been for weeks. (more…)
