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?
Thanks to a reader for sending the following news:
“Just wanted to let you know about a new restaurant coming in at 14th and Spring Road, just a block away from Red Derby. I live very near there and just noticed the signs yesterday. As you probably know, the new building it’s in has been in process for a while.
The place is called “Kikos Chicken,” and yes, they do have a Web site: http://www.kikoschicken.com/
Unfortunately, they don’t know how to spell, and they think that rotisserie chicken is a “new restaurant concept,” but if it’s good, I’m not gonna care too much about those things, right?”
If you haven’t visited Chix, located on 11th St just north of U, you have no more excuses. On Saturday you’ll be able to find:
“two organic wines (one red and one white) from the Chilean Emiliana Natura line (http://www.emiliana.cl/filiales_in/filiales.html), and we will have two organic beers from Clipper City (http://www.ccbeer.com/beerlist/Oxford+Organic+Ales). In addition, we will be serving other Chilean and Argentine wines, the Mexican beer Tecate, and a couple of other Clipper City brews.”
Nice! I love Tecate.
Or is that a rooster? Regardless, this is the greatest window decoration I’ve seen in dozens of miles traversed in this fair city. When I first saw it I thought it was a live one it looked so real. I did a quadruple take. Simply super, super cool.
