March 3rd 2025, was a terrible, terrible day: E Street Cinema’s Last Day Came Early and Closed Last Night Because of Course it Did – Fin.
Holy. Appears to be getting completely gutted! Anyone hear what’s next? (more…)
Thanks to E. for passing on from an ANC Rep via the Eckington Civic Association (ECA):
“I have received the following from MRP, the company that manages the bike lobby linking the MBT to Florida Avenue, and pass it along.
==========
Over the last two days we have had back to back incidents with large groups of youths gathering on the trail and trail connection lobby at Washington Gateway. They have then proceeded to getting into altercations that spill down into our plaza and the lobby of the Burton apartments. The police have been relatively quick to respond, but similar to the firework incident that we had in July (where the youth shot a roman candle into our lobby) the police tactic is just to disburse the crowd.
We have closed the trail connection to try to de-escalate the situation. Hopefully this will bring some normalcy and we will be able to reopen shortly. (more…)

From a press release:
“Donohoe Hospitality will proudly debut Croix, a Caribbean restaurant and Botanic Bar that brings the full breadth of Caribbean cooking and botanical tradition to Washington, DC, Friday, August 14. Located atop the Cambria Hotel Washington D.C. Navy Yard Riverfront, Croix will add a unique and elegant dining experience to the city’s rooftop landscape through a menu rooted in Crucian culinary heritage, an immersive botanical cocktail program, and a hospitality experience designed around connection, culture, and discovery.
An homage to the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Croix is not a Caribbean-inspired concept—it is a Caribbean-rooted one. The restaurant’s culinary program draws from generations of Caribbean tradition, celebrating ingredients such as breadfruit, callaloo, sorrel, pigeon peas, cassava, and Scotch bonnet peppers through both classic and contemporary techniques and refined presentation.
