Holy Moses, Check Out What’s Coming to the old International Square Food Court (and street level)

By Prince Of Petworth


lower level 1875 I Street, NW

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.

“if things don’t go well, she’ll be gone within the year”

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!”

Where is the BEST Caesar Salad in D.C.?

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?

Another Cosi Closure

6th and Indiana Ave, NW

I’m having Quiznos closing flashbacks…

Thanks to Mark for sending: “Cosi 6th & Indiana NW closed? Went by there just now, it was locked up, nobody inside, a floor-standing mixer and kitchen equipment pulled out into the dining area.”

Not looking good: (more…)
