2400 18th Street, NW
Thanks to Alex for sending the scuttlebutt about Wok and Roll’s lease ending possible ending in Adams Morgan: “I heard from our regular server there. Hope he’s wrong but I don’t know why he’d make it up.” They opened their 2nd location here back in 2011. Their original location is in Chinatown at 604 H Street, NW.
Another reader reported on Friday that she heard there was a dispute over rent: (more…)
440 K Street, NW
Update Mr.TinDC reports Tuesday morning:
“I was just there – staff said they are actually closed for good now. Employees are packing up the store, and finishing a few service jobs (including some work on one of my bikes). Front doors are locked.”
“Hello BicycleSPACE Family & Friends-
As many of you may have heard by now, we will be moving out of our Mount Vernon Triangle shop at 440K street over the next week. While we are sad to be moving on, we will be carrying on the BicycleSPACE tradition at the Ivy City location and look forward to seeing you there & in new and exciting places in the future! (more…)
440 K Street, NW
A tipster reports:
“it looks like BicycleSPACE in downtown is closing its doors. Final day from what I heard is on Monday, Labor Day.
I know they had a shop in Adams Morgan that closed in October 2018. That makes 2 of their 3 shops closing in less than a year.”
Ed. Note: Their third location is in Ivy City. I’ve emailed for confirmation about K Street and will update when/if I hear back.
3813 Georgia Ave, NW
A tipster sends word that “Ten Tigers is closing at the end of the month.” And I’m told that is true but the space will “remain an event space going forward.” Ten Tigers last day will be September 1st. (more…)
15th and H Street, NW
A few weeks ago we learned that Woodward Table would be closing after 7 years downtown. Erin Cohan shares some head scratching hard to believe news on the replacement coming:
“Now confirmed: Cheesecake Factory will take over the site of Woodward Table at 15th & H” (more…)
14th and Park Road, NW
A reader reported at 6:15pm last night: “just went to Z Burger at 14th and Park in Columbia Heights and they said they were closed and the staff was packing up a bunch of stuff. Any rumors if they’re closing?” Ed. Note: Their listed hours are from 11am until 10pm. A call to the store this morning at 11am rang repeatedly but there was no answer or voicemail.
Anyone hear anything? Z Burger opened here back in 2013. (RIP Nori Sushi, Mayorga Lounge.) Updates if/when there is something to this.
3819 14th St, NW via Redfin
“Dear PoPville,
Someone posted this Redfin listing to a new condo noting that the “Lower Level Commercial Space will be a 2nd Location for a Boutique Coffee Shop from Georgetown”.
After some calling around, one of my neighbors was able to confirm that it will be Grace Street Coffee opening a second location.
I guess they are doing their coffee roasting there for the first few months and then opening up a store front ~6 months from now.”
STAY TUNED.
14th and Randolph Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Talked to the owner of the 14th st Mini Mart at 14th and Randolph. He also owns the vacant Chinese place next store. The Chinese place has been totally gutted and he said he plans on opening an Ethiopian cafe with coffee in the next three months. The space between the mini mart and the Randolph Tower parking lot will be a patio. Hopefully his timeline is right. Would be a really exciting addition to the neighborhood.”
11th and Rhode Island Ave, NW
Thanks to a tipster for sharing:
“Scuttlebutt: Liquor store on corner moving to 7th St. NW b/c rent is too high (14K). Last day is July 31st. Owner apparently looking to bring a coffee shop in.”
STAY TUNED.
Ed. Note: One of my favorite headlines from back in 2011 Liquor Store at 11th and Rhode Island Ave, NW Becoming a Liquor Store.
316 Massachusetts Ave, NE
Earlier this week we learned that La Loma had closed after 21 years. An interesting bit of scuttlebutt from a tipster:
“the adjacent Bistro Cacao will be expanding into that space.”
STAY TUNED.
This is the first tip from this tipster so I am unable to give an accuracy rating for this post.
