Last week we broke the news that 100 Montaditos had closed after 3.5 years in Navy Yard. Now I hear (95% accuracy rating) that Ramen is coming. No word on hookahs. STAY TUNED.

Hot on the heels of the Wingos news comes more action in Glover Park. Thanks to Ethan for sending. This is the Saigon Kitchen space that opened in the former JP’s strip club space back in April 2017. Eerkin’s website says (they have a Fairfax, VA location too): (more…)

Thanks to Nora for sending. Though I will certainly miss the name ‘Nice & Quick Mart’, that really is an awesome name, this has nice potential for a good lunch spot. Stay tuned for an opening date.
Ed. Note: Charcoal Town also contributed to ending our Shawarma drought.

Thanks to Kim for sending from K Street between 19th and 20th, NW. You can see Soho’s menu here.

Thanks to Ben for sending: “100 Montaditos closes in navy yard? Tables and chairs gone.” Ed. Note: Their phone number has also been disconnected.

Update from the owner of All Souls:
“All Souls will be opening a new concept in The Apollo building on H Street, NE. The space will be located through the alley next to WeWork on 7th Street and will be called The Little Grand. While this is a new concept, we will not venture too far from what we do at All Souls, using the highest quality ingredients, maintaining affordable prices and trying to give the best service possible. The other similarity is The Little Grand will be a small, simple bar serving craft beer, cocktails, and wine but with the added bonus of pizza. We are very excited to be part of H Street and the Apollo community.” (more…)

Ed. Note: Wingos is also still planning on opening, including, (another!?!?) sports bar in Adams Morgan.

From Jackie Blumenthal, Commissioner ANC3B-02 via the Glover Park listserv:
“I learned yesterday that a Wingos has received a Certificate of Occupancy for a restaurant seating a maximum of 127-135 people for the location formerly held by Mad Fox Tap Room. Wingos did not apply as a fast-food operation, which would have triggered a need for a zoning exception. However, if it acts like one — for example, by using plastic utensils and paper goods instead of silverware and real plates — we can complain to the zoning administrator. For what that’s worth.
