Nido opened back in June 2015.
“Sampling from some of the most memorable moments during the owner’s time spent abroad, Nido is a unique neighborhood bistro with eclectic Mediterranean cuisine. It is a light, airy, yet cozy space that provides “a place to sit down” to snack and imbibe with neighbors, friends, and family.”
Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.

Woodridge (not to be confused with its VA counterpart WoodBRIDGE) is a neighborhood that doesn’t get much attention as a DC destination. The unassuming residential vibe of the neighborhood is one of the features that attracts residents to the quiet tree lined streets and numerous parks.
Location: Northeast DC, along the Maryland border of Eastern Ave, west of Brookland with Rhode Island Ave running through the middle.
Why it’s great:
- Single family homes, with yards, and alleys = the best of both urban/suburban living
- 5 miles from downtown!
- Barnard Hill Park: one of the lesser known Fort Circle parks, while it lacks a website you can’t miss the large grassy expanse.
- DC Brau: DC’s first craft brewery which recently celebrated it’s 5 year anniversary
- Community centric, spirit of neighbors helping neighbors. Check out Good Food Markets from Oasis Community Partners, helping to minimize inequalities in access to food.
- Home to one of the few DC Rita’s water ice locations
If you told me ten years ago…
True story – I had friends who lived in Woodridge years ago must’ve been around 2005 and I went to their house for a BBQ. It was around 22nd Street, NE. So I figured, I’d just walk to Rhode Island and catch a cab when I was ready to go. This was before Lyft and Uber. So it’s relatively early like maybe 8 or 9pm. I walk to Rhode Island Ave and there are zero cabs. A big old goose egg. OK, I’m a walker (I walked to the BBQ but knew walking all the way home wasn’t a great option), so I figure what the hell I’ll just walk until I see a cab. hahaha It’s easy to forget the former cab dead-zones. There were many. It used to be impossible to catch a cab at Wonderland if you can believe that. Anyway, I get about 1 block on Rhode Island and this lady who must’ve been 70 years old or so makes a beeline straight towards me and says – “where are you going?” I say, I’m walking towards the metro and trying to catch a cab. She says “oh no you’re not.” She physically grabs me and walks to the bus stop and waits with me and RIDES WITH ME to the metro (I think it was Brookland) to make sure I got there OK. I’ll never forget that night. That by the by, is a very good example for those who ask me about the meaning of the beautiful life.
Anyway, enough about me, check out this listing I spotted while looking for today’s GDoN:
