Don’t know if you heard, but I was told today from a few of the long term employees the Cal Tort in Cleveland Park is closing in October.”

Ed. Note: Farmbird opened on H Street in 2017. They opened in Penn Quarter in January 2021 and had plans to open in Navy Yard this year.
Readers have been reporting since Tuesday: “Farmbird on H and Penn Quarter are both inexplicable closed today. Thought it was odd.”
“Farmbird on H St. suddenly closed today and moving out their stoves and fridges. The guy in charge had no idea why and told me they were leaving indefinitely. They always had customers even during the height of the pandemic.” (more…)
Thanks to EJ for sending: “It’s looks like Kabul Castle Kabob is currently being built out on 28th Street NW near the intersection of M Street NW, directly across from George’s King of Falafel. Not much other information other than the banner.”
Stay tuned for more.

Thanks to Ishaba and others who send word that the Philz in Dupont is closing on Apr 30th. One reader wrote:
“Philz in Dupont says they’re closing at the end of the month. DM’d them on Instagram and they said it was “purely a financial decision.” Wonder what the deal is since it’s always pretty packed and popular.”
Philz opened here to much excitement back in 2018. Prior to them this was the home to a Cosi that closed back in 2014. Updates when we learn more.
