1829 M Street, NW
Ed. Note: This space was most recently home to Flipside Filipino restaurant which closed in January.
Thanks to the folks at Cafe Mia for letting us know they’ve opened and sharing their Menu (PDF) with us. “Our specialty is Peruvian style rotisserie chicken but we serve other great items as well.” They also have a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich served on brioche for $6 :)

Dagger. Time ran out on Bagels and Baguettes sooner than we thought. Hopefully they are able to find a new, better space soon.

“Dear PoPville,
So I wanted to know a good place for a birthday lunch/brunch kinda thing. I really like the areas around U Street/Logan Circle, Adams Morgan, and Eastern Market/Capitol Hill. The most important thing location-wise is that it’s metro accessible since that’s how many of my friends will be getting there. Any type of food is good. The place would preferably be not too expensive since we are students and on a budget.”
Thanks to Dylan for sending. Slapfish opened in the former Capriotti’s space in May of 2019. (more…)

Back in early December we broke the news that the International Square Food Court would be closing (RIP Stoupsy’s foreva.) Thanks to a reader for passing on some plans for what’s coming via Bisnow:
“The food court inside International Square and street-level restaurant Prequel both closed last month. Tishman Speyer’s email to tenants said it plans to add a food hall to the building’s street level with about 20 carefully curated vendors and a bar. The owner also plans to add two new full-service restaurants and a boutique grocer to the street level, plus an additional restaurant to the lower level, the email said.”
I’ve already heard one rumor of a Whole Foods… STAY TUNED.
901 New York Avenue, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Capitol Hill readers may remember our beloved breakfast haunt, Bagels & Baguettes, on the corner of 3rd and Mass NE.
Helen, the owner, is really struggling in her new location (901 New York Ave NW), and if things don’t go well, she’ll be gone within the year. The windows are dark, and the landlord/zoning won’t let her do sidewalk signage. She’s also right next to a Starbucks (which cannot compare to her fresh baked bagels and croissants!).
Anything readers can do to help get the word out to her new City Center neighborhood would be appreciated. Helen is the mom of two young teens and really needs the boost!”

An important follow up to yesterday’s discussion about best Cobb salad – tons of requests after we posted for a best Caesar salad – and since that’s my favorite too – FOLLOWING.
HungryLobbyist replied to this discussion @PoPville with: “Depends. Do you want steakhouse classic Caesar with anchovies or fancy Caesar? The one at @AllPurposeDC #Shaw is my favorite actually. I get anchovies on the side. It’s soooo good and huge and always crispy and fresh.”
Where’s your favorite found?

While I am a Caesar salad devotee I do enjoy enjoy dabbling in a Cobb from time to time. Who makes the best one?
Thanks to Paul for sending “Confirmed that a Chick fil A is coming to 18th and Jefferson NW!” (more…)
