A couple months ago we reported that Panas Gourmet Empandadas were shut down by the Department of Health due to their business license being expired according to Panas. Last month their front door got smashed.
Panas first opened up at 2029 P Street, NW back in June 2010. A good run. Thanks to Jonathan Padget for the final update: Read More

Thanks to Stuart for passing on from the Chevy Chase listserv:
“I was in Pumpernickels/Arucolo (5534 Connecticut Avenue, NW) on Sunday morning – and go the skinny from the owner. They will be going to online sales only as of April 1. They plan to do baking and preperation offsite – and then use the various food delivery services available (uber eats etc.) Apparently Arucolo is also leaving.”
Pumpernickel’s twitter has a post on December 10th 2018 saying “PUMPERNICKEL’S IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED.” However there is a yelp review from February that says:
“Was glad to find out that this shop is not closed but joined with the restaurant Arucola so you can still get bagels there at a makeshift counter in the back of the dining room (hours are 7:30-8 am to 2 pm daily). Read More

I keep forgetting to share this comment from our Best Thai in Town thread:
“Sadly, Tanad is closing. It’s on the Chevy Chase Listserv. I just went back and looked at the posts, and apparently a hostess has told people that March 5th is the last day. The (perhaps someday) good news is that the owner is apparently hoping to take a year off/restructure, and reopen next year.”
In January 2012 we noted that there was a lot of love for 4912 Thai, the precursor to Tanad, which was closed after it’s retail license was suspended.
Ed. Note: Phone numbers listed for Tanad that I’ve tried calling have been disconnected. Updates when we learn more.
