Bill reports: “Awful news! Today is Breadline’s last day….forever.”
Oh no, Breadline’s website simply says:
“CLOSED – Breadline D.C.
Breadline is closed for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your patronage these 23 years!”

Last week a few readers asked about the status of Sichuan Pavilion on K Street NW. Thanks to Michael for sharing the sad news of the signage being removed, confirming that another reader had heard the closure was likely permanent.

Thanks to Cristine for sending the sad news. La Granja de Oro was located at 1832 Columbia Road NW. (more…)
This is devastating for the neighborhood, especially following the recent closure of the Uptown movie theater across the street. This Firehook had been open here since 1997. Not much to add beyond beyond Roric’s initial report: “Nooooooooooo”

Oh wow, Red Hook Lobster Pound DC’s Food Truck launched with HUGE excitement back in August 2010. Flashback:
“lines were forming by 11am. They sold out (after an additional resupply) by 3pm. Ah lobster rolls.”
What a ride!! Seriously.
Thanks to Michelle Goldchain for sharing the news with us on Saturday:
“Looks like @LobstertruckDC is leaving the food truck game!”
Red Hook Lobster Pound DC’s Facebook says: “Guess What? We’re selling our Food Trucks and all the goodies that go along with a food truck business!”
The Craigslist ad says:
“Great way to start your mobile business or expand your existing restaurant/catering business in a small or big way!

CONFIRMED. I literally just called @tortillacoast to see if it was true. Devastating news. https://t.co/3OsGaCFpEH

UPDATE:
We planned to shutdown @tortillacoast this Sunday because the landlord has been so unreasonable. But since @PoPville announced impending closing, so many guests have flocked to the Coast, we have decided to keep rolling until at least July 26. We need a #margaritamiracle pic.twitter.com/JQNsWx9wr0

Oh my goodness. I too tried to call but the phone just rang without being picked up at 7:30pm anyway.
Tortilla Coast is, of course, “A Tex-Mex tradition on Capitol Hill since 1988”
Tortilla Coast closed their Logan Circle location at 15th and P St, NW back in 2017.
Updates when more is known.

Our storefront is closing after 36 years. We will be open Thurs.-Sat., July 2-Aug. 1, 12-5 p.m. and by appt. (more…)

At the end of last month we broke the news that things were not looking good for the Post Pub. The Post’s Tim Carman breathed an ounce of hope but sadly that didn’t work out. This morning the Post Pub writes:
“I am sad to inform our customers and friends that due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors I am forced to close the Post Pub permanently. There’s simply no other option.
To all of our long time loyal customers, I can only say thank you!! More of you than I can name came in almost every day. You were the biggest part of the Post Pub family. A special thanks to the Washington Post employees who helped us pay a lot of bills over the years!
To my employees: I am sorry it ended so abruptly and that you must now look for employment elsewhere. After 43+ years in the same spot, it is hard for me to say goodbye. I am most proud of the fact that three people worked at the Pub for over 30 years and six people for over 20 years. That tells me it really was more than just a business, it was a family. (more…)

From Facebook:
“Statement on the closure of Eighteenth Street Lounge after 25 Years
Washington, D.C., has been the home of Eighteenth Street Lounge for the past 25 years, and I have had the great fortune to deliver unique nightlife experiences in a city that I love. The well-being of our patrons, and staff has always been a leading priority for the ESL team, and given the current uncertainty of when we can welcome patrons back safely, we have decided to close the space indefinitely.
