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,

1424 Park Road, NW
