Georgetown


1078 Wisconsin Ave, NW previously home to Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls and a Paul Bakery before them.

Last week we shared the, what was to be a bit, premature news from PopUp Bagels:

“We’re excited to announce that PopUp Bagels, the “Not Famous, but Known®” bagel shop, will open its first Washington D.C. store in Georgetown at 1078 Wisconsin Avenue NW on March 27. Please note, due to construction timelines, the confirmed opening dates can be slightly influx and could be subject to change.”

Alas, March 27th was indeed influx. I’m now told that date is no longer on track but an April opening is the goal and we’ll be given one week notice so as not to miss it. Just a little bit longer!

From an email:

Supporters urge ANC 4E to endorse modifications to advance project at crucial Tuesday vote

Dance Loft on 14, approved three years ago, is an exciting Ward 4 mixed-use development that includes affordable housing, a performing arts center, retail space, and net-zero energy design. It faced delays due to the city’s unprecedented crisis in affordable housing funding.

The project is now back with new financing and interior modifications, and is seeking a Planned Unit Development modification from the DC Zoning Commission to allow development to finally break ground.
