Kiko’s Peruvian Chicken closed back in July at 3703 14th Street, NW (not far from the Red Derby). It looks like a new Peruvian Chicken restaurant, Pollomio chicken, has opened up in their spot. It appears the inside hasn’t changed too much. Anyone check them out yet?
This one looks familiar like maybe someone sent it in before. But it was the first time I saw it in person. It’s pretty sweet.
It’s wild a few readers sent in the exact same photo above. Andrew writes:
“I thought you might be interested in this picture of the shelves in the meat department of the Columbia Heights Giant last night. Things had calmed down by nine, but it looked as if the neighborhood thought aliens were going to invade or something.”
And with the addition of this sweet section of their sign, I have nothing more to add to Park Road’s newest Peruvian Chicken spot, Senor Chicken…
On a totally unrelated note, man Sunday was beautiful and I realized while I’ve admired Rock Creek Park before, I’ve never appreciated the actual creek. It is looking fantastic:
There have been some false reports today that Senor Chicken has opened up on Park Road just west of 14th Street in Columbia Heights. On Sunday I saw some folks in the store but the doors were locked. While talking to them through the window they said they were not open but would be opening soon. I said, next week? They replied, soon. I walked by today at 1:30pm and the door was locked but there was soda in the fridge so they should be opening any day now.
Thanks to all who sent emails about the new Peruvian Style Chicken & Steak place. While it wasn’t open when I walked by today they did have a new “coming soon” sign up. I didn’t even know it was going to be called Senor Chicken. That’s a freaking awesome name. Thanks also to a reader for sending these photos. It is located on Park Road a bit west of 14th Street, NW. But from the photo below – it really does look like it’ll open soon. Stay tuned…
This is a sign from a jewelry store on Wisconsin Ave. in Georgetown. I can’t look at this photo without laughing. It is just so insanely random. And of course when I took the photo the store was closed…
Got this one on North Capitol Street just north of New York Ave. I can’t look at it without laughing at the chicken, no disrespect to chickens and all… (If you closely you can see the image is trademarked. Damn!)
This sign is from the gas station located at 14th and W. I don’t know about you but the only food I’m buying at a gas station is a bag of chips and maybe a slim jim…
Is it just me or does it seem really wrong to buy fried chicken or Chinese food at a gas station?
