“Dear PoPville,
Does the community know where I can get morning glory? It’s a Thai dish with the leafy vegetable cooked in oyster sauce and garlic. Very popular in Southeast Asia but seems to be unavailable in The DC area.”

Thanks to a reader for the tip on this development. I’m a bit late on this one but folks have frequently asked me if I’d heard any news about this retail space that has been vacant for quite a while. Turns out it is run by a company called Beau Thai LLC.
After doing a google search I found the following from the Bloomingdale blog:
“She is aiming for an early March opening. She is a veteran in the Thai food business (and a relative of the operator of Thai X-Ing on Florida Avenue NW).
She will at first only have take-out service, as her zoning appears to be restricted to that for the time being (take-out was apparently grandfathered-in through prior use of the, very nice, building). She told me that what she really wants to do is a full-fledged sit-down Thai restaurant, however.”
Hopefully it opens soon. Lots of people love Thai X-ing on nearby Florida Avenue, NW so hopefully this space will offer similar quality.

@metrocurean shares the news on twitter that “Ezme is having its grand opening today at 2016 P St, NW”. We spoke about Ezme a few weeks ago. That was a quick arrival!
And in other restaurant news the original Thai Tanic at 1326 14th Street, NW is looking to expand into their second floor.
