Dan Silverman, occasionally fallible, always well-meaning…

AGAIN, mea culpa for my earlier morning mistake about how many Jersey Mike’s locations there are in DC so I am seeking REDEMPTION with this post.

The good people from Jersey Mike’s tell me that their 5th DC location coming across the street from the zoo (3000 Connecticut Ave, NW) will be opening “early October” and there is already a 6th location in the works for Capitol Hill coming to 209 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE and will open in “early 2026.”

Stay tuned for exact opening dates.



possibly around 14th and S Street, NW

A tipster tells me that they heard folks from Snappy’s (3917 Georgia Ave, NW) will be opening a second location in Logan Circle/14th Street possibly around 14th and S Street, NW. I wasn’t able to confirm the location or other details but Snappy’s does confirm:

“Yeah, some of the team here are doing a second venture.”

STAY TUNED for details when they release them!



2333 18th Street, NW

UPDATE from Johnny Pistolas PR:

“The main floor will be rebranded as Mi Pana, bringing a fresh new dining and nightlife concept to Adams Morgan.

The second floor will remain Johnny Pistolas, continuing to serve its LA-inspired taqueria-style food, tequila bar, and nightlife atmosphere.

The mezzanine will become the Riff Raff Room, an intimate speakeasy-style cocktail lounge featuring Schotts’ award-winning cocktails and elevated tapas.

The top floor will stay a dedicated party and event space, preserving Johnny Pistolas’ long-standing reputation for nightlife and private events in Adams Morgan.

On September 19th, we’ll launch the new concept with live entertainment, a champagne toast, and a performance by Mi Pana.” (more…)
