Thanks to Noa for sending: “Work being done at old 7-11. Worker told me it’s a burger place. He said “Smash something” he said there will be two burger places but this one is better. It’s across from shake shack (ed. note: opened here in March, 2017).”
Is there room for two burger spots at this, admittedly busy, corner? (more…)

Ed. Note: When Shake Shake first opened in Union Station back in 2014 it was an EVENT. Goodness. There was a time…
“Dear PoPville,
The shake shack moved, literally overnight, to a new spot in Union Station. They gave up the two level restaurant for a much smaller storefront, just around the corner on the ground floor of Union station. (more…)

“Saw the crew working there – should open soon!”
Thanks to all who emailed/messaged us the good news!

“Holy Burger, this nyc based burger place (with a whole vegan menu) is opening on Sherman ave. (2827 Sherman Ave, NW at Harvard) according to their website! Last business there was some sort of Caribbean bar that didn’t last long, as far as I can remember. Hopeful for the space!” (more…)
