From an email:

“Pierre Ajaj and Philip Stone, two chefs of the popular Just Jerk in Lanham MD have opened up the new falafel joint at the busy 9th & U area.

Located directly across from Atlantis and 9:30 Club (the old Andy’s Pizza spot), Falafel Brothers features their take on the popular wrap. The menu is simple, with four separate falafel choices plus the “create your own option.”

From Shouk:

“Dear Shouk Community:

After five years in Union Market District, we’ve reached the difficult decision to close our Union Market location later this month. We’ve loved being part of the fabric of this special neighborhood. And we loved sharing our plant-based creations with you.

Thank you to all the amazing people in this part of town who’ve supported us over the years. You’ve made us a part of your lives, and for that, we’re eternally grateful.

But don’t worry – this is not goodbye. (more…)
