1210 18th Street, NW just off Connecticut north of M Street

From Nando’s Peri Peri:

“After an extensive two-month renovation, Nando’s PERi-PERi will fire up its grills again near Dupont Circle (1210 18th Street, NW) starting Wednesday, February 20th, at 11am.

After 10 years of operation in a stately, historic building, the 18th Street Nando’s was ready for a major revamp. Today, the restaurant features a new kitchen, draft beer taps and beautifully re-designed dining areas. The customer take-out experience has been vastly improved, with a grab-and-go beverage refrigerator and a convenient order pick-up area near the host stand. (more…)


It really is Quiznos all over again. Thanks to Ken for sending:

“The Great Restaurant Closure of 19th Street continues! I received this email this morning about the ABP closing at 19th and M NW. This was the last one in this area. Wonder what will go in the space.”

STAY TUNED.



8th and O St, NW

From an email:

“Beginning Monday, February 4th, Cedric Maupillier’s award-winning Shaw restaurant will be open for lunch, giving guests more opportunities to enjoy the French-inspired American cuisine that has made Convivial so popular.

Lunch will be served from 11:30am – 4:30pm Monday through Friday and will feature favorites from the brunch and dinner menus, including the Whitefish Salad Tartine and Quiche as well as lighter fare options like the new Mussel Mariniere and Trout Amandine.

624 E Street, NW

On the heels of Matchbox taking over the old Hen Quarter space on the other side of E Street comes some more good lunching news for Penn Quarter – I hear that “There’s a Sweetgreen going into the old Taylor Gourmet spot at 624 E St NW. Coming this May.” I give this a 73% 93% accuracy rating. [Update: Douglass Development just like a tweet about this, so I’m taking that as a very good sign.] Fingers crossed and stay tuned!!
