Speaking of sandwiches – this is a reminder that Odd Provisions at 11th and Lamont Street, NW is amazing. And very well priced!! I got a ham and cheese sandwich on a pretzel bun for like $8.50 and it absolutely hit the spot. If you are sleeping on their sandwiches, like I was, WAKE UP – so, so good. Head straight to the deli counter in the back.

For those who are unfamiliar: (more…)



1901 L Street, NW

Thanks to Amy for sending:

“After a years long vacancy, something is finally opening at 1901 L Street Northwest – a Jersey Mike’s good morning thanks you too. Not sure when it’s going to open, but the signage is already up. It was Melt Shop previously, which closed back in 2016. I think it’s been vacant since then! There was a time…”

This will be the first Jersey Mike’s in DC… I AM KIDDING. This will be SEVENTH location in Washington DC.

You can see their menus here.

Stay tuned for an opening date.



50 Massachusetts Ave, NE

“Once you bite into one of these sandwiches, you’ll have a tough time forgetting it! Come try our authentic Italian-style deli menu and see what people are talking about.”

Thanks to SJ for sending the new Capo Italian Deli signage up in Union Station: “On the ground floor next to CHOPT!”

Ed. Note: This space was previously home to a Potbelly. Potbelly had opened in Union Station back in January 2011.

STAY TUNED for a Capo Italian Deli opening date. While we wait you can check out their Shaw menu here.
