“Bodega Taqueria y Tequila will open in Foggy Bottom January 24”
From a press release:
“Bodega Taqueria y Tequila, a unique fast-casual taqueria that has established a reputation in Miami for Mexican street food-inspired fare and high-energy nightlife tucked away in a speakeasy-style lounge, lands in Washington on January 24 with its first DC location, a 3,800-square-foot outpost centrally located in Foggy Bottom.

There will be one boombox that plays Beastie Boys, John Denver, Manu Chao, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and some alt country.
OK back to business – thanks to Mark for sharing some opening news in Union Station: (more…)
