Mount Pleasant


3116 Mount Pleasant Street, NW

And now for the bad news…

Thanks to Terry and Naomi for sending this incredibly sad news from Mount Pleasant:

“Dos Gringos in Mt Pleasant is closing at the end of the month. I just talked to Alex, the owner, this morning and she told us the last day is April 26th. It’s not public anywhere that I know of. That place is a Mt Pleasant institution and we’re all very sad to see it go.

(FWIW, it seems like a new spot will be opening up there in mid-May that Alex seems excited about — but still very sad)” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Do you know what’s finally going in the space on the southwest corner of 14th and Rhode Island Ave across the street from Shake Shack? There are permits on the door and the windows are covered in brown paper. The permit on the door says restaurant and the permit on the window says condos.”
