Au Bon Pain Smo Bon Pain…Thanks to Jonathan Padget for sharing:
“I rather like @laMadeleine — it’s Tex-French! — and I’ll be happy to have one near #DupontCircle at 1130 Connecticut Avenue NW in @GoldenTriDC. Bonjour y’all!”
Check out their menus here and stay tuned for an opening date.
Yice reports:
“I was walking towards my job this morning and came across this beauty. Very excited that Taqueria Habanero [3710 14th Street, NW] are also coming closer to the Columbia heights area. Love their tacos!”
Mike also reports: (more…)
924 U Street, NW next door to Service Bar
So that is what the sign says. At first I thought it was a temporary sign, but nope, that’s a real deal proper sign. And I love the name. Back in July we learned “a deli” was coming. Updates as we learn more.
This is the old Pinz-N-Needlez tattoo shop that closed back in October of 2017.
It’s becoming a bloodbath. This is becoming worse than the Quiznos cull of ’14. Thanks to Anita for sending from the “H and north cap location NW.” Updates, as always, when we learn who takes over the space.
1834 Columbia Road, NW
Well this is interesting. Back in June we reported that Habana Village had become Prime Time Sports Bar. A reader spotted the return of a Habana Village awning. STAY TUNED.
403 H Street, NE
Thanks to Bruce for sending:
“spotted it walking on H – was much better as a bakery.”
Any fans of Uni?
Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.
1338 U Street, NW
Uh oh, Peking Express has closed for renovations. Hopefully it’s for renovations and not for “renovations”. Stay tuned.
1399 New York Ave, NW. I believe entrance is on 14th Street
Thanks to Hannah for sending the Gong Cha update.
Gong Cha’s website says:
“The house special product is “Gong Cha Milk Foam Series”. The special-made milk foam took a long time to develop before Gong Cha founded. The main idea was from the milk foam on Coffee Latte, and to improve the taste with salty flavor. The Milk Foam tea contains a lower layer of brewed tea covered by an upper layer of special creamer. Creamy taste with fantastic mixture surprises customers and gives supreme experience.. This series is the best seller in Gong Cha stores.”

Update from Honeygrow:
“Yes, that location will close after Friday 11/16.”
Oh No, Et Tu Honeygrow? A reader reports:
“I am a frequent diner at Honeygrow in Chinatown. I went in for lunch over the weekend and the manager told me that they are closing on November 16th. Not sure for the reasoning, but I’m guessing this location was just not profitable enough. This is devastating given that we lost Shophouse not that long ago.”
Honeygrow opened up with great fanfare back in December 2016.
Whoa, spotted this sign at Stanton & Greene over the weekend. A couple of weeks ago Washington Business Journal reported:
“Stanton & Greene, the Capitol Hill cocktail bar that replaced the Pour House in 2015, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.”
Their phone number has been disconnected and their Facebook stops updating after October 25th, though their website remains live. Stay tuned.
