3407 Connecticut Ave, NW (RIP Wake Up Little Suzie. And Pulpo, Tackle Box and McDonald’s…)

More sad news from Fat Pete’s Pizza & BBQ:

“This week is our last one, and before we close the doors, we’d love to see you one more time. ❤️

If Fat Pete’s has ever been your neighborhood spot, your go-to bar, your place for a celebration, or simply somewhere you shared a good night with good people, come back and raise one last glass with us. 🍻

We’ll see you Saturday, August 29 for our final weekend & farewell celebration.

Come by, bring a friend, share a story, and help us make these last few days unforgettable.

See you at the bar. ❤️🍻”

Ed. Note: I’m assuming this means Cleveland Park Bar and Grill will be closing upstairs as well but will update as I learn more.

“Dear PoPville,

Local food PSA! Saw that Missed Connections is doing 4th of July meals to go and had to pass along the recommendation (if I wasn’t going out of town, I’d be all over it.) Really awesome new chef / concept. The smoked chicken with yuzu white sauce is unreal among everything else I’ve had there (coconut pandan bread!!).

They’re at Electric Cool Aid every Friday – so if you’re not picking up this weekend, definitely check them out this summer – great with a frozen bev.” (more…)

Located at 71 Potomac Ave. SE, Suzie Q’s promises a laid-back experience with affordable drinks, great BBQ, and a tribute to 70’s sports and rock ‘n’ roll culture. (more…)
