Thanks to Gregory Hudson ‏for sending word: “Oh uh, well that stinks.”

That was fast. Melt Shop (grilled cheese) opened in the former Energy Kitchen space back in Feb. 2015.

And before Energy Kitchen it was formerly home to Asian Bistro with one of our favorite typos of all time:

Amorini Panini closed “indefinitely” on F Street?

906 F Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I just walked by the Amorini Panini and someone said that it is closed “indefinitely.” Their website is down. Have you heard anything about this?”

Ed. Note: Facebook hasn’t been updated since Oct. 2015 and Twitter since February. Their phone number rings without going to voicemail. Amorini Panini opened their first brick and mortar spot back in 2010. They previously closed one on 18th Street downtown. Updates when more is known.
