From La Jambe, 1550 7th Street, NW, (in response to an email query):
“We are indeed opening our 2nd location of La Jambe over in Union Market, and we’re thrilled to be a part of all the exciting things happening there. What can folks expect? We’re bringing over the same unpretentious approach to our curated selections of wine, cheese, and charcuterie – as well as a few small plates. What’s new is that, along with about 13 bar seats, we’re also going to have a take-out counter for our cheese, charcuterie, and sandwiches, deli counter style. (more…)

From a press release:
“The Union Market District continues its commitment to nurturing burgeoning local businesses with the arrival of The Village Cafe (1272 5th Street NE), slated for a soft opening on October 9, followed by a grand opening on October 23.
When founders and Washington natives Kevon King, Mahammad Mangum and Ryan Williams met as kids, they bonded at Woodrow Wilson High School, where they pursued their passions in the business, creative and culinary fields, respectively.
Recognizing that cafés are the ultimate social gathering place, the trio embarked upon opening their own establishment that would not only bring quality food and drink to underserved communities, but that would also uplift the “village” that make those communities tick. (more…)
