1807 18th Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Just went by Dupont Market over the weekend and saw they just “quietly” celebrated 32 years in business (see window sign) a few days ago! They definitely deserve a louder shoutout. They serve some of the best sandwiches in NW and always have fantastic baked goods and all the odds and ends you need from a neighborhood bodega, *and* as an added bonus they even bring in Saku Saku pastries over the weekends. Would love to see the fine folks there get a little more love!” (more…)


The buzz about Union Station is for real… [ICYMI: “a new wave of food and beverage and retail tenants coming to Washington Union Station.”] First the Continental Club and now thanks to Ian for sharing the status of the Capo Deli coming to Union Station: “Gotta be real close now.”

Stay tuned for an exact opening date.

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


2100 L Street, NW

Thanks to Amy for sending The Best Sandwich Place update yesterday:

“Not sure when they opened at 2100 L Street NW but went today for the first time. They had a LOT of staff but the ordering process felt a little disjointed – I was not sure who to go to of the four people behind the counter but everything came together quickly. My sandwich was pricey, but absolutely delicious. Happy to have them in the neighborhood as a break from West Wing Cafe.” (more…)

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.
