Thanks to Noa for passing on the word about ThaiphoonThaiphoon closing in Dupont Circle: (more…)

Friends, Washingtontonians, countrymen, lend me your ears – irony is not dead.
I come to bury Taffer’s, not to praise it.
The evil that reality tv proclaimed experts do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their draft menus;
So let it be with Taffer’s. The noble Commentariat
Hath told you Taffer’s was ambitious…
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did mock them once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to nearby fast casual cantinas
My heart is in the coffin there at this prime retail/restaurant space,
And I must pause till someone new takes it over.
Thanks to MML for sending to us yesterday, now that I’ve had time to digest the news, without further ado:
“Learned yesterday that Taffer’s is closing. We had reservations for after the Caps game Saturday and received this email yesterday.” (more…)

A. asks: “is Mom N Pops Antiques in Park View closing? There’s new “For Sale” window wraps up saying ground floor business and residential. It’s currently one floor, so it would be awful to see this place go & another condo building go in.”
Thanks to J. for sharing photos: “The inside looked normal. Everything still in there. And that sign on the door must be recent.”
This is almost too painful a sight to bear. Mom n Pop Antiques is 38 years old!! (more…)
