4602 14th Street, NW

Unfortunately the plans for a Dangerously Delicious Pies location didn’t work out but there is some good news to report on the space!

From an email: “Zeke’s Coffee has signed a lease for the ground floor at 4602 14th Street NW, it’s third D.C. location, and is planning on opening the doors sometime this fall.”

Update: Owner has been found, thanks all.

“Dear PoPville,

I was biking on 13th and Crittenden St NW when I got bit by a dog. The owner was a man walking two large black Rottweilers and said I could pass but the dog lunged at me and bit the back of my calf.

If so please email me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP. Thanks.

From the Bull Bar & Grill (planning on opening by the end of this month):
