From a press release:
“Keeping with their presidential restaurant theme, PRG Hospitality is proud to announce their third venture: DECLARATION, scheduled to open Saturday February, 6.
PRG Hospitality is the first-ever restaurant group in the National’s Capital to center its concepts on past American President’s. Its first presidential restaurant, LINCOLN Restaurant, pays tribute to Abraham Lincoln and opened in April of 2011. A contemporary twist to Abraham Lincoln’s legacy was thoroughly incorporated throughout LINCOLN Restaurant’s design elements and culinary creations. From the penny floor to the gingerbread whoopie pies, LINCOLN is committed to its presidential theme. In summer of 2013, PRG Hospitality opened its second presidential restaurant concept: Teddy & The Bully Bar paying homage to 26th President Theodore Roosevelt. PRG”s mission is to bring DC restaurant concepts that embrace and enjoy history through dining and nightlife.
DECLARATION will be a 52 seat, pizza-centric restaurant featuring an Marra Forni brick hearth oven, thoughtful, farm to table cuisine with a location in the emerging neighborhood of Shaw at 804 V Street, NW. PRG Corporate Executive Chef Demetrio A. Zavala will be at the helm of the restaurant and looks to create some memorable cuisine in the North Shaw neighborhood. In addition to traditional Neapolitan style pizza, there will be 13 pizzas on the menu representing the 13 colonies when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Serendipitously, the restaurant is 1776 square feet – 1776 was the year the Declaration of Independence was signed. A distinctive hand crafted cocktail bar (designed by Bar Chef/Mixologist John Hogan), select draft beer and a specially selected wine list will be offered. Declaration will also have 12-18 outdoor seats for seasonal, street side dining. (more…)

A reader reports:
“Just got an email from Groupon that my voucher to Bistro La Bonne (the re-opened one on 14th and Chapin), which was set to expire in April, is only valid through the 19th of this month, at which point the business is closing. Their website and facebook don’t say anything about a closing.”
La Bonne Bistro’s website says:
“Chef Daniel Labonne of the Embassy of France, has partnered with CREME to create a warm and inviting neighborhood bistro with authentic French and Belgian cuisine that will make you want to return again and again.
He takes over dinner while CREME concentrates on delighting patrons on weekends with their mouthwatering southern fare brunch & bottomless mimosas. This unique space sharing keep things interesting with new menu items and specials. It’s all about balance: a space nice enough to make you feel at home, a warm welcome you’d expect from a friend, the best service possible for every person who walks through the door, great food and good wine without pretense, keep the conversation flowing.
At La Bonne Bistro, every dish is created using only the freshest, finest ingredients. You’ll thoroughly enjoy whatever you choose from the scrumptious menu. So checking back will ensure you discover new tastes.”
