“Buffalo Wild Wings Go coming to Rhode Island Place”

By Prince Of Petworth


1000 block of Brentwood Road, NE

Thanks to Nathan for sending: “there is signage for a Buffalo Wild Wings Go at Rhode Island Place just off the Rhode Island Avenue-Brentwood Metro stop.”

You can see their menus here.

Stay tuned for an opening date.

Ed. Note: There was a proper Buffalo Wild Wings in Navy Yard near Nats Park from 2015-2024.

Reader Requested Mural – Ken’s Carryout

By Prince Of Petworth

The reader writes:

“Here’s an interesting mural at the corner of Florida Ave and 4th Street NW. It’s on the West side of the Ken’s Carry Out, a neighborhood fried chicken joint.”

I decided to use my own photo instead of the one the reader sent but I agree that this is one of the cooler murals in the city.

Now that I think of it, is Ken’s still open? It seems to be closed everytime I have walked past it.

Judging Restaurants – Jam Doung

By Prince Of Petworth

Jam Doung is located at 1726 N Capitol Street, NW and frequently gets mentioned when I talk about “hidden” restaurants in the city. Reviewers from Yelp seem to agree giving high marks to this Jamaican spot. My question – how’s the jerk chicken? Do they deliver or is the take out only pick up?

Movement at Lloyd’s Deli on 18th Street, NW

By Prince Of Petworth

More movement on 18th Street, NW. This time a bit further south from yesterday. Lloyd’s was located at 1917 18th St, NW. The plywood recently went up and the permits say that the proposed use will be a restaurant. Anyone happen to hear what type of restaurant is going in here? I’ll be sure to update as this project develops.
